Helping to create instant volume, with minimal effort.I have fine hair, with no body to it. I also struggle with getting my hair to look thicker even with blow drying. This hot brush was very easy to use. I love how it easily curls my hair, as well as building the volume. Especially at my roots. I finally have volume!It also has a long swivel cord of 2.7m, which, is so convenient, and prevents the wire tangling and is good to use in rooms or hotels where the plug socket might be far from a mirror.Also what is good is it has an automatic sleep mode that switches off if it has not been used for 30 minutes.I am so glad I have this now as I finally have volume in my hair and it does not take long to style.

As someone with not a lot of time in my routine to use hair tools I like something straightforward to use. The Rise is just that. An on/off button and the rest is down to you, so the technique played a big part in this but produced glamorous, easy results once you got the best approach. Tip one: ensure the strand you’re using on the brush is thoroughly combed through otherwise it can tangle on the brush with movement. Tip two: if you have long (past shoulder) length hair my advice is not to wrap the hair more than once over the brush, but use the twisting action of the brush whist holding the cold tip to get your wave or curl. I found wrapping the hair too much caused it to tangle (if this happens unwind brush in opposite direction). Tip three: small sections work ... MoreAs someone with not a lot of time in my routine to use hair tools I like something straightforward to use. The Rise is just that.

I found wrapping the hair too much caused it to tangle (if this happens unwind brush in opposite direction). Tip three: small sections work better for curls, and using just the ends of larger sections work well for a salon styled flicked out look. Tip four: allow the hair to curl up the handle as you’re rotating it, helps cool and set the hair. Perfect to create voluminous waves and curls without effort. Although the unit is GHD hot, the bristles are cooler so you can move this around carefully with less issues. I use GHD Curl Hold Spray as my heat protectant which gives a bouncy but touchable hold. Highly recommended if you want to quickly and add fuss-free curls or volume, simple but effective and great for quick touch-ups!

I firstly like the fact that the hot brush has a little stand so it can be placed on a surface without worrying of burning anything.The hot rush heats up very quickly and the handle is easy to grip.I did at first when styling my hair, I kept pressing the button by mistake but it didn’t turn it off as you actually have to press and hold the button for a couple of seconds to turn it on and off.My hair is quite fine but when it dries naturally it’s curly but not in a nice way. Before using, I brushed my hair and sectioned it with clips.I firstly used it as a curler; I could do the sides of my hair but struggled with the back. It gave my hair a lot of volume and to make the curls look even, I combed the curls and it looked a lot better.The second time I used the ... MoreI firstly like the fact that the hot brush has a little stand so it can be placed on a surface without worrying of burning anything.The hot rush heats up very quickly and the handle is easy to grip.I did at first when styling my hair, I kept pressing the button by mistake but it didn’t turn it off as you actually have to press and hold the button for a couple of seconds to turn it on and off.My hair is quite fine but when it dries naturally it’s curly but not in a nice way.

It gave my hair a lot of volume and to make the curls look even, I combed the curls and it looked a lot better.The second time I used the airbrush I used it to give my hair volume, straighten and to give it nice flicks at the ends including my long fringe. This lead me to have a blowout look, and it lasted all day.I found the brush glided through my hair without it getting caught up.The hairstyle didn’t take very long either, but a suggestion to help it stay in longer would be using rollers whilst doing the rest of your hair.
