This ghd Rise alternative will give you expensive-looking hair – and it’s on sale for Black Friday
Hot brushes are one of the most coveted tools around – so when Black Friday comes about, it’s our mission to share the best deals on offer. Case in point: the BaByliss 9000 Cordless Hot Brush is currently half price as part of Look Fantastic's sale.
As an alternative to the iconic ghd Rise, the BaByliss 9000 is a styler that – amongst all the competition – stands out in the mammoth hot brush category. This high-tech piece of equipment features forward-thinking technology to smooth and shape the hair, while injecting bounce into even the limpest of strands.
By now, you’ve probably seen a hundred TikToks of people, dare I say, attempting, to create larger-than-life volume using a hot brush. Skill will take you so far, but success lies within the tool – and the BaByliss hot brush is here to help.
Acting as a straightener, volume booster and curler in one, it's a true multi-tasker allowing you to streamline your routine while still creating salon-like results. It creates movement and brings hair to life, resulting in a finish that looks effortlessly chic and delicate (think: Rachel Green-style framing as opposed to XXL curls).
And if you’ve leaned into a ‘90s Pam Anderson-esque fringe, the hot brush is an instant way to add freshness to your look without any hassle.
What truly sets the BaByliss hot brush apart is its cordless technology. While other corded hot brushes ring in cheaper (for instance, the BaByliss Flawless Volume Air Styler RRPs at £35), the decision to ditch the wires is a very smart ergonomic move from BaByliss. And we think this feature is well worth the extra investment; without the cords, you can style your hair wherever you go and can be especially useful for taking abroad.
Similar to the ghd Rise, the BaByliss hot brush has a unique bristle design which essentially scoops up hair to wrap it around the heated barrel, smoothing and adding volume in the process. And, practically speaking, the plastic bristles are designed to keep strands wrapped within the hot brush – so that none escape – meaning users have full control over the styling.
This tool also incorporates a form of technology named Micro Heating Matrix (told you this isn’t just a pretty face) which means it heats up quicker than most, and will deliver continuous and even heat distribution. Essentially, this sort of technology is crucial for ensuring that the overall finish is smooth and that you’re not battling rogue kinks.
The BaByliss hot brush comes with three different temperature settings – 150°, 160° and 180° – while the Rise is fixed at 185°. Top stylists will say that 185° is an optimal temperature for styling; however, when it comes to boosting volume, sometimes a lower temperature is best. Dropping the heat will keep volume and body, while still achieving and sleek finish.
For achieving a salon-like bounce and envious volume, the BaByliss hot brush is a fantastic option to consider. And with a generous Black Friday sale too, there really is no better time to invest.
