is there a hair curling brush?

[poppym12]

I keep seeing hair straightening brushes mentioned and they seem good but is there a similar thing for giving hair body/wave that isn't a curling iron? My chin length hair is thinning (age related) and it does look a bit better when I blow dry it but that's not always possible (health problems) so is there a wonder product that will give me lovely bouncy hair with little effort, and without frazzling it?

Yep you want a Babyliss Big Hair. It's a rotating hot brush which smoothes, gives volume and waves if hair is long enough.

It's not very long lucky, about chin length. Does that brush rotate as it dries? I think my hair is too short for that.

They do a smaller barrel one now - I bought one for my chin length bob and it works well

Do you use it to dry your hair with or when it's dry?

I'm looking for one for myself and in superdrug today I saw a slim barrelled brush (for tight curls it said but short hair as well I suppose) own brand I think, it was next to the babyliss one I'm coveting.:)

Ooohhh how much cheery? Is your hair very short?

I have chin length hair and use the babyliss big curl. It's amazing, my hair looks like it's been professionally blow dried. I rough dry my hair with a normal hairdryer first and when it's about 90% dry I use the bug curl on it in sections. Can highly recommend.

Is a big curl different to a big hair?

Sorry no, I meant big hair.

I've ordered a big hair dual (both sizes of brush). 20% off at argos at the moment.

Is there any way to refresh a blow-dry without wetting hair or using dry shampoo? I don't wash my hair every day now but is there any way I can use this brush thingy on dry hair to put volume back in?

I only wash my hair every other day and it works fine on dry hair to refresh.

I tried it earlier. Very umipressed. It just seemed to create masses of static and I ended up looking like a baby alpaca

What styling products do you all use with it?

*unimpressed

I've found it makes my hair smoother. Have a look on you tube for some tutorials as it can take a bit of practice to get the technique right. As for products, I just use mousse when hair is wet and find I don't need anything after that.

I take it back! !! I have big bouncy hair . The thing is a bit cumbersome and heavy but it does a good job. I found that using the cool shot made it static-y and naff. Hopefully it will stay looking relatively ok for a day or 2.

Thanks for the recommendation

Glad you are pleased with it. With practice it will seem effortless to use. I can get mine done with my toddler climbing up my legs
