BaByliss air styler that gives a 'salon style blow out' now only £30 in Prime Day deal
'I haven't used hair straighteners since I bought this.' Styling your hair can become a laborious task, especially when you need to both dry and style your locks before going out. For some of us, switching between hair tools can become frustrating, especially if you lack the space to plug in and store the products. In order to minimise this challenge, many of the top brands have released air stylers. Featuring one base, these hair appliances come with a variety of attachments that can dry and style your hair at the same time, which will effectively save you time while getting ready. As Amazon is now on the final day of its Prime Day event, many must-have hair appliances have been given huge reductions. One of which is the BaByliss Air Styler 1000W, which has had its price slashed by 60 per cent. Normally retailing for £75, shoppers can now snatch up this versatile air styler for only £29.99. For those who like to switch up their go-to hair style every now and then, this hair tool will allow users to effortlessly dry, curl, smooth and style their hair all with one device. With 1000W of power and a quick heat up time, your locks will be dried and styled in no time. Shoppers also won't need to worry about their hair becoming frizzy as the device uses an advanced ionic system to neutralise and balance any static charges. This means your hair will come out smoother and shinier after using the air styler. BaByliss Air Styler 1000W £75 £29.99 Amazon Buy Now Product Description This air styler comes with four attachments - a drying nozzle to remove pre-styling moisture, a 50ml thermal brush, a conical barrel for soft curls and waves, and a full sized blow dry paddle brush. Also, depending on your hair type, the styler comes with two heat settings, as well as a cool shot to lock the look in place. For those wanting a more high tech hair styler, Amazon has dropped the price of the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler and Dryer. Normally retailing for £479.99, shoppers can now grab this highly sought after hair set for £399. Said to provide versatile styling with no heat damage, shoppers can connect the device via Bluetooth to the MyDyson app. Alternatively, Boots has slashed £50 off the Mark Hill Pick 'N' Mix Air™ Flexi Air Styler Starter Kit. Reduced from £169.99 down to £119.99, this hair styler boasts a powerful 1200W motor and comes with three heat settings, along with three speeds. Back to the BaByliss Air Styler, it currently has a 4.2 star rating from over 4,000 shoppers, with over 1,000 people buying the hair appliance in the last 30 days. One delighted shopper wrote: "This is an excellent hair styler, it was at a great price so I upgraded. Its a very sturdy unit and I find it so easy to use. The cable length is about half a metre long so I'm able to sit down when using, the paddle brush has double the amount of bristles that catch your hair and give it volume." While another customer was pleasantly surprised by the results: "I have been wanting to try this for such a long time but was worried it would make my curly hair frizzy. It turned out to be the best investment I have made giving me a hairdressers blow-dry." However, one shopper wasn't pleased with the curling attachment, writing: "The product does take some getting used to in terms of ways of using, the curling tool won't give you big bouncy curls but leaves a nice soft wave." While another customer added: "I feel it could just do with a little more power, but still I would recommend it." On the flip side, a five-star reviewer said: "I haven't used hair straighteners since I bought this, my hair is naturally very curly and I've never got the hang of using a round brush and a hairdryer. "The heat proof glove is a really important thing to use as the brush does get hot (as you would expect/hope for) I'm so pleased and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a quick and easy salon style blow out." With a further shopper commenting: "This is amazing! It's not as powerful as my regular hairdryer (also a Babyliss) but it is really good with all the attachments. Takes a little bit of getting used to but the volumising attachment is excellent and gave my hair some good volume. The smoothing brush is also excellent."
