Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Launched in 2018, Dyson’s airwrap revolutionised the hair world. Lauded by beauty buffs for its ability to blow-dry and style locks simultaneously, the coveted tool is the worst kept secret for achieving salon-quality looks at home.

But owing to the airwrap’s hefty price tag of almost £500, myriad brands have populated the market with more-pocket-friendly hot brushes to help nail TikTok’s favourite bouncy blow dry.

Case in point: BaByliss. From its cordless brush (our reviewer said it “gives that salon blow-dried look”) to a wave secret airer that achieves a “chic low-key look for party season” within minutes, the cult brand’s tools offer the Dyson airwrap-effect for (far) less.

Now, you can save nearly 50 per cent on BaByliss’s much-loved hot brush air styler, thanks to Amazon. Usually costing £75, the hair tool’s price has been slashed to just £39.99 – this means it’s even cheaper than that viral Revlon tool (£44, Amazon.co.uk).

If you’re looking for a new do-it-all tool to up your hair game, here’s everything you need to know about Babyliss’s air styler – and how to snap up the deal.

Drying your hair while simultaneously styling it, for a salon-worthy look, BaByliss’s tool uses ionic technology to control frizz and boost shine. Thanks to the powerful 1,000W design, spend less time on your hair in the morning, with the nozzle attachment turning the styler into a hair dryer.

Complete with smooth blow-dry paddle brush, volumising thermal brush and conical curling attachment (à la Dyson’s cult airwrap), the multi-functional tool will streamline your hair regime.

While we haven’t reviewed this exact BaByliss hot brush, we have tested a similar cordless brush from the brand (£180, Johnlewis.com). Our writer loved the cordless design and the LED light at the base of the wand, which indicates battery life, adding that “heat-up takes less than 10 seconds”. They “glided it through strands while twisting it away” from their face. “It delivers a lovely bounce – especially on the ends – and gives that salon blow-dried look within minutes,” they said.

With the BaByliss hot brush air styler reduced by 47 per cent right now, there’s no better time to invest in the cheaper alternative to the Dyson airwrap.
