Securing a professional blow dry can set you back between £30 and £80 per visit, a significant expense for those maintaining a polished look. This has led beauty enthusiasts to hunt for effective at-home solutions, and many are now celebrating a discovery: a tool endorsed by influencer Molly-Mae that promises a 'perfect bouncy blow dry' without the salon price tag.
What's the Deal on the Molly-Mae Hot Brush?
Part of her collaboration with Beauty Works, the advanced Hot Brush is currently on a promotional offer at retailer LookFantastic. The tool, which normally retails for £115, has been discounted by 20%, bringing the price down to just £92 – a saving of £23. This price drop coincides with the return of Molly-Mae's reality series, Behind It All Season 2 part 2, giving fans a timely opportunity to emulate her signature styles.
Features and Customer Verdict
The hot brush is designed to add volume and body, featuring a 32mm circular extra-long barrel intended to create bouncy waves with a shiny finish. According to the brand, its advanced heat technology and dual multi-flex bristles allow it to glide through hair without pulling. Users have full control with a temperature range from 80°C to 220°C, aimed at preventing frizz and heat damage.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One reviewer stated it is 'the best hot brush I have used', delivering a 'perfect finish every time'. A particular boon noted by shoppers is that the brush grips hair properly, solving a common issue where other tools simply slip off, especially on softer hair types.
The tool is also praised for its practicality in a busy routine. It 'heats up quickly' and is 'really easy to use', with one user claiming their hair is 'done in 10 minutes' and the curls last for days. This makes achieving a salon-worthy style before work a tangible reality for many.
Styling Versatility and Alternative Options
The Beauty Works x Molly-Mae Hot Brush works on short, long, and extension-enhanced hair. Its aesthetic, a neutral mocha brown shade, has also received compliments for being a 'lovely colour'. For those seeking alternatives, the article mentions other popular tools. The Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumiser is a budget-friendly option at £49.99 on Amazon, boasting thousands of five-star reviews. For a higher-end investment, the Dyson Airwrap in copper is discounted at Boots, reduced from £399.99 to £299.99.
While most reviews are glowing, a balanced four-star assessment pointed out that achieving maximum volume might require 'the right products' in addition to using the brush. Nonetheless, the consensus highlights a successful product. As one happy customer summarised, buying the brush with the intention of doing their own blowouts has made the process 'so much easier', effectively saving them hundreds on professional appointments.
