Tips for easy blow dry look - Big Hair, Revlon, Shark, other products or Dyson etc

I am on my second Babyliss Big Hair to try and achieve a bouncy blow dry look. But I recently feel like the results aren’t as good as previously. My hair looks frizzier, less polished, less good. I have naturally curly hair shoulder length hair and I could never manage with just a hairdryer as I could never do the back.

If you have ever tried the Big Hair what product do you now use/prefer and why (its a minefield Big Hair, Shark, Revlon, Dyson and scammers on instagram) and what if any heat styling products do you use alongside this please? Or is this any good on other at John Lewis www.johnlewis.com/babyliss-flawless-volume-hair-dryer-brush-black/p3607437

Thanks @Brightredtulips going round in circles here.

I don’t need or want 8 attachments or whatever (that I have to store and most of which I won’t use). Just want something that is very easy to use, offers consistently good results that won’t damage my hair.

used to love big hair, but it really damaged my hair with all the pulling. now I have both Dyson and Shark. I prefer Dyson, but Shark does the same job, just a bit less comfortable to use. Also bought one of the cheap amazon knock-offs, but this one was totally useless.

Babylis Big Hair just got caught in my hair and pulled it . I'd bought it for DD but she hated it and gave it to me .

Dyson Airstrait is the bizz .
You don;t need heat , you start with wet hair . Close the device up to get a blowdry for the roots then go in to straighten.

Only downside except the price tag is the daftly huge plug !
I bought mine from QVC when they had a good deal , even a Boots with an extra points promotion wasn't such good value

I use the revlon one shot and Nicky Clarke hair raising spray. It is incredible. I blow dry it in sections and honestly it looks better than my hairdresser does it.

Thanks anymore suggestions of products to protect from heat damage and best appliance recommendation easy to use that produces bouncy blow dry results? Thanks

I wouldn't be without this as a heat protector it's amazing. I think you can buy it in a travel size if you want to spend just a few pounds before committing to it.

I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair. I have had babyliss big hair for years but love the revlon one shot. I use this on almost dry sectioned hair with blow dry cream and finished with loreal extraordinary oil. Gives a proper shiny bouncy blow dry.

I use a Revlon one step and have long thick slightly wavy hair.
I blot hair then gently dry to about half dry with ordinary hairdryer. Then use a walnut size blob of l'oreal dream lengths heat styling cream. Dry with the one step by running the brush from roots to ends, not pulling, and curving it outward at the ends.

I love the Shark Flexstyle. I use the paddle brush for straight style and the round brush for bouncy blow dry look. Takes about 10 - 15 minutes for near-hairdresser results. I use Wow miracle cream after for smoothness. Bought the Flexstyle from QVC on three easy pays.

I’m still using the babyliss big hair! What blow dry cream do people use?
