BaByliss Diamond Heated Smoothing and Straightening Brush

Product Information

As its name suggests, the ghd unplugged sets you free from the confines of cables so you can style your hair while on the go. Straightening hot brushes on the other hand, are more like a combination of a hair straightener and brush, with heated plates or bristles to straighten as it combs through the hair.

US beauty brand Amika’s Polished Perfection brush uses infrared heat to style gently and evenly; the heat penetrates the hair shaft for faster styling, which requires less exposure to heat, while ionic technology locks in moisture. We time how long it takes to style a full head of hair, taking into account the hair length and texture, and we evaluate the overall ease of use of the straightening brush.The brand says this feature helps minimise friction and heat damage and, while we can’t say whether or not it caused our hair less harm, our locks were left perfectly straight and frizz-free after giving it a go. This is because it is ceramic plates feature dual-zone technology, meaning a consistent optimum styling temperature of 185C is maintained for healthy-looking results. However, if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that's also great for medium to long hair, you can't go wrong with the Remington Pro 2-in-1 Heated Straightening Brush.

Babyliss Diamond uses a 3D straightening system with 3 heat settings to straighten the hair completely. They also put a bit of space between the heating plate and your hair, meaning they’re less likely to cause damage, like breakage. The functionality of the brush you choose is important to note as it determines at what point in your routine you can use it.It has a ceramic-coated barrel which leaves hair silky soft, even if the settings were a tad confusing.

I was a little sceptical as to whether this would work or not as my curly hair is very resistant to any kind of styling most days.
