Anyone used one of these? Sali Hughes and India Knight seem to rate it. However, I wasn't that impressed with BBH. If it does give volume that lasts to straight, fine, flat hair then I'll put it on my Christmas list.

I bought one today on the strength of SHs review. Not convinced yet, it was quite hard to use and didn't seem to make much difference. I will persevere.

Thanks for your reply.

It all looks so wonderful and effortlessly easy on the QVC video, plus SH and IK think it's great.

I need a good MN review before purchasing though.

I,will,watch the QVC Video. That helped when I couldn't get good results with the big hair. Will report back in a few days.

Rotating brushes are quite hard to use. If you have straight fine hair it will not give volume that will last. Hair tools always look easy to use on QVC and YouTube as of course they are trying to sell a product. You only have look on ebay at all the returned brushes.

Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Update

I came in yesterday evening all hot and sweaty and ratty haired after a long day on and off trains, tubes and buses and in 25 minutes was showered and made up and my hair transformed to shiny swishiness.

Today I washed my hair and let it dry naturally (not a good look, it hangs down very flat and then goes bushy at the ends). 10 minutes with the Babyliss and it's full on top curling under into a nice bellshape on my shoulders and very polished looking. . I need to get another heat protective glove for full confidence when using it and practice a bit more to get good flicks but it's a keeper.

NB I tried using it on the lowest setting as my hair is coloured and quite dry but it did nothing. The middle setting was more effective.

Watching with interest-has anyone used this with thick frizzy hair by any chance? Also do you need to use product with it?

Thank you for the update. I'm pleased it has worked for you, sounds like your hair is quite different from mine.

I might possibly put it on my list to get.
