Cordless straightener or hot brush?

I need to sort out the frizz I get from my commute (walking, trains, tubes). No matter how put together I am when I leave the house, I look completely disheveled at the office. I’m not allowed to plug in and do my hair at my desk and no plugs in the toilet cubicles. So I need a cordless solution to just get my hair back in order
looking at some cordless straighteners but then noticed cordless brush exists.
anyone tried either and can offer thoughts. Don’t mind the cost.

I don’t have cordless but do have a heated brush and find it far more suitable and easier to use with my fine hair than straighteners

Do you think it would cope with ‘frizz’ - not really curly but puffy and frizzy

I got one from Amazon, it’s very good, fattish 40mm barrel so smoothes rather than curls. Small and charges on a USB.

I tried a cloud 9 one hair straightener and it was rubbish. I have thier corded straighteners and they are amazing but the cordless ones useless.

That’s helpful @Autumnlifeand sort of what I was wondering as they don’t come cheap!

I have got this too, it’s actually quite good. If you’re trying to deal with frizz, it might do a better job than straighteners

I like it @SpainToday as I can just do the top layers and the frizz underneath kind of gives it body😂 a bit like crimpers back in the day. I can get it in my bag, it heats up in seconds, I pop to the loo, give my fringe, sides and top a quick squiz through and I look like I’ve had a blow dry. I also like that I can walk round the house using it, tidying as I style or making a coffee - I just wish you could get a cordless hairdryer.
