Which Babyliss Big Hair model?

Im considering buying this for my daughters and I. We have thick long hair that is quite coarse (mine). There are a few Big Hair models, which one is best? Or would you recommend a different brand altogether?

You need the standard one - not the slim version.

This one!

Ok, so is the hot air one better than the Titanium model?

Some reviewers say your hair can be caught in the space at the top of the barrel with the hot air model. Did you find that?

Also, how easy to use is it?

If you’re looking for a possible other model, I’d recommend the Revlon One Step. It doesn’t spin, so much less likely to get hair caught.

I second the Revlon one step. Much better than the big hair. The big hair seemed to pull a lot of mine out

I've never heard of Revlon One! Off to google.

I had one of those and it ruined my hair: it basically started breaking off in the middle of it's length. I bought it to replace an old Rowena brush which I had for years and incidentally left behind in a hotel. I bought Babyliss because it was a lot cheaper and lived to regret it. The bristle on the brush is plastic, I believe and it's very harsh on the hair. Since then I repurchased Rowena one and it's great, use it every day with no breakages. It's already around 5 years old and is still going strong.

I didn't like the Revlon One Step! It made my hair look like Gail Tilsley's from Coronation Street ( just incase)

I've just bought the Hydro Fusion Anti Frizz one,
I've used it twice so far so still getting used to it!
