Okay, there's no denying it: the Dyson Air Wrap has forever changed at-home hair styling. As soon as this high-tech gizmo launched, we discovered that it can be used to create that envious bouncy blow-out that only seems achievable from inside the four walls of a salon.
However, with a price of nearly £500 it's not a tool that's accessible for everyone; you certainly won't find me dropping that much cash, to say the least. But luckily for us, this has led to brands such as BaByliss creating more affordable hot brushes that have seemingly been inspired by the Dyson to create similar bouncy blow dries at a fraction of the cost.
BaByliss BaByliss Air Styler 1000W
I've tested many and, besides the Shark FlexStyle, the BaByliss Air Style 1000 is one that truly impresses me and my bank account. For achieving everything from that glossy salon-blow-dried look, to casual beach waves, to sleek straight hair, the hot brush is a fantastic option to consider.
And here's the exciting thing: usually costing £75, the hair tool’s price has been reduced by over 50%, bringing it down to £37.00. Who's to thank? At WH we've been shopping the best deals in current Amazon Prime Day event – and, we've got to say, this is one of the best steals we've come across for hair junkies.
I know what you're thinking: 'didn't we just have an Amazon Prime Day?' Well, you thought correctly. The sale event happened in July of this year, so this is another chance to get your hands on those wish-list items and to possibly start ticking things off your Christmas gifting list.
The event will last until Wednesday the 9th of October, so just be sure to sign up to become an Amazon Prime member – which you can do for free, by the way – to make the most of the exclusive Prime Day deals as well as extra perks such as next day delivery, Prime Video and Prime Music.
Now, back to the hair tool. What's kept me hooked is how versatile it is. It comes with four different attachments – a smooth blow-dry paddle brush, volumising thermal brush, conical curling wand and hair dryer attachment – to take your lengths from damp to fully styled.
The 100oW motor of the dryer isn't too overpowering (to be honest, other hair dryers come with more powerful motors) but for me that's not the real draw; the excitement comes in the attachments.
The blow-dry paddle brush and thermal brush add instant body and volume to limp locks, creating that OG Rachel Green blow-out that everyone is still obsessed with. Then, there's the conical curling wand which can be used to create tighter and more defined curls. And, as all great hair tools do, the BaByliss Air Style uses ionic technology to control frizz and boost shine. Really, the styling options are endless with this tool.
So if you've ever considered investing in one of these insanely popular multi-stylers – that will also streamline your hair tool collection and save you so much time in the morning – the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale is the perfect time to secure a bargain. Your hair and debit card can thank me later.
