GHD heated hair brush, is it worth it?

[SheilaTheThief]

Anyone have the ghd heated hair brush?
Currently on look fantastic for £111

What does it do for your hair?

Oh, no idea but Cult Beauty are charging £139. Sounds like you've found a bargain.

Offer has ended 😭
But still wonder if any good? Will keep eye out if any more offers

I have one and love it. I have long straight hair which is prone to frizz. It smooths my hair out without the poker straight look you get from straighteners. I don't use it every day but good to have on hand when I need to tame the frizz!

I'm curious about this too - can anyone tell me if it's more or less the same thing as the Revlon one step in terms of result and effort?

I hated it and gave it to my step-daughter

Worst thing I've ever bought

Oh..and I'm a trained hairdresser so I know what I'm doing 🤨

It’s amaze! I have curly hair and I can style it in about 5 mins.

I love it. I have thick but fine curly hair. It makes mine look like a blow dry in 5 minutes. I thought it would be great for my sister who has thick, thick wavy hair and it was rubbish. I think it really depends on hair type.
FWIW I bought mine on eBay for £55. Advert said used once. Don't know whether that's true but it certainly hadn't had much use!

I've got one and I love it. Ive got thick hair and it really makes a difference. Worth every penny.

Is this the new one, the rise?

Or the glide? I have the glide, and I like it - but it leaves the ends of my hair looking a bit odd, straight and with a kind of edge (I've very thick hair). So I'm hoping for good things with the rise, which I've asked for for Christmas!

JoeyandPacey - how do you style your hair? Is it still curly once you've brushed it?

And how curly is your hair? I just got mine permed and styling it is a steep learning curve...

I love the Glide, so easy and quick and less bother than straighteners with a slightly more natural result.

If you mean the GHD glide, I bought the Babyliss version, for £30. I like it. You need to practice but it gives a smooth, sleek finish.

Can you use it on damp hair and can you do more with it than straighten hair?

I've looked at the video on their website but I couldn't work it out!

A food and their money. Put a regular hair brush in the microwave for a little while. Take out wearing oven mits and use as normal.

I should clarify this is not serious advice.

I have a dafni heated brush. I really like it as it gives you a bouncy , but neat blow dried look , rather than the poker straight look of a straightener.

I believe the dafni one is similar to the glide , reviews are very alike.

I don't think either the Glide or the Rise can be used on damp hair. It needs to be dried first - I've occasionally gone to bed with wet hair and then used the Glide in the morning, when my hair is a little damp in place, and it steams, but doesn't really dry it, and I don't think it would be a good idea to use it with hair that was damp all over.

I have the ghd one. I use it occasionally as I mostly air dry and leave my hair. But it does give a nice shine and smoothness without the poker straight look of straighteners.

Thanks @Thimbleberries.

I think I'll stick then to my bright pink L'oreal ones, as they really do steam the hair into submission for two or three days.

I'll probably go bald eventually!

I’ve figured out how to do it with a twist so it comes out wavy. I can’t stand poker straight hair. Sometimes I spritz it after, put it in a bun while I’m getting ready then it comes out wavy but sleek if you know what I mean. Tbh I’m done with curly curly hair, I did CGM for 5 years and I missed styling it.

JoeyandPacey - how do you style your hair? Is it still curly once you've brushed it?

Sorry above reply was in answer to you!

I'd love to figure out how to do quick wavy hair - the holy grail of the hairstyle world in my opinion! I might try the bun thing but I'm worried that will kill the volume near the roots. Do you get volume at the roots?

I have a lot of hair so I’m not prone to flat head!! Fingers crossed it will work for you.

Bought the glide and it’s pointless IMO. Hair has to be dry to use it, it’s a bit like the straighteners except it goes frizzy quicker and worst of all my hair got tangled in it and it was getting scorched as I was trying to get the knot out (even though I immediately unplugged). Don’t recommend at all.

Its rubbish. I bought one then sold it within a few weeks, didnt work for me at all. Not even comparable with straighterns.
