You beauty! BaByliss New Big Hair

Brand-new and banging, I give you the BaByliss New Big Hair, a souped-up, muscular version of its former self.

If it were an athlete, I’d test it for performance-enhancing drugs. But happily it’s not an actual athlete, it’s an athletically rotating barrel brush that shoots hot air to the roots of your hair while taming frizz.

The new version has a much more aggressive rotation and sturdy boar bristles, disciplining frizz while delivering bounce. Use it on hair that is 80 per cent dry. I recently took it on a low-maintenance holiday. No one else took a hairdryer and I pretended to be all au naturel. But the moment

I sensed my (always badly behaved) barnet was nearly dry (doom) I snuck to my room, plugged in the Big Hair and was done and undiscovered in two minutes. It blasts away a humidity-induced fro and, combined with dry shampoo, gives you another day before you need to wash and go. This contraption can save those with fine hair untold misery. If, for you, a bad hair day equals a bad life day, exhale and know that all will be well…

BaByliss New Big Hair, £45, is available now at Very.co.uk and elsewhere from 27 July
