LUXURY VOLUMIZING Hot Brush!

Today I'm testing out a luxury hair volumizing tool made by GHD. There are similar hair tools on the market and I have tested a few of them on this chanel. I'm gonna test to see if this beauty tool brings something to the table that other similar hair tools do not being that it costs 3x-5x the price. GHD obviously brings quality and safety to the table but how well does it perform? and who is it good for? Let's me know your thoughts about this tool.

I had a round heated brush in the late 70s/early 80s that had button that you pushed that would release the barrel and make it roll, so you could roll the brush right out of your hair without any worries about tangling/having to cut the brush out of your hair! Why that feature never caught on with any other models or companies has clearly never had their hair caught up in a round brush before!!

[@kirstys5601]

Retractable bristles would have been a game changer for this brush.

[@Teddibere1]

I agree Kirsty!! Teddy U.K. xx

[@elenatrofimova419]

Absolutely, I was sure it’s retractable before I saw “review”… no way vs dyson airstyler. I have old roventa ( at least 6 yo) it already had retractable bristles

[@misssmisssymaria]

@@elenatrofimova419 When I was in high school (1999, I’m old) I bought a curling brush from a thrift store that was from the 70s-80s and it had a button to retract the bristles. I have no idea why that feature never caught on with other brands.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

this type brush is best for bangs and bobs. Longer hair will get tangled up and pull.

[@jessicabookout771]

This brush brings back nightmares from my childhood when I accidently found one of these in a drawer and got stuck in my hair... Oh hell nah lol

[@chelseabobet4591]

Same!! My mom ended up chopping 4 inches off, and that was after she managed to somehow get the brush to the bottom half of my hair.

[@BethyCaraBethy]

Flashbacks to my mums gas powered curler 😅

[@liyadonDMD]

The final look looks like you’re from the 60s! It looks good on you. I like those waves. So cute! 😍

[@stamos1043]

This thing just looked like a really expensive pain in the ass.

[@J-G2023]

To be honest I think this tool is best used as a straightening brush but since it’s rounded you can create flips” on the ends of the hair and add volume. Otherwise if you’re looking for a curl or wave I would just stick with the curling iron.

[@kateflack2464]

Omg I still have my crimping and this volume iron from when I was a teen so about 25 years ago lol xx

[@janiceperla5506]

I had that exact same brush in the seventies and eighties and it only cost me $25

[@AngelitaShotrita]

Me too!

[@suzanstorm2982]

Yes!!! Same here for the 80s. That price is insane.

[@Kim-kj7zc]

Yeah. Looks like a regular "old" fashioned curling iron to me.

[@sonastysorude]

Yep I had one in the 90’s/ early 00’s and it was still only $25!

[@abigelow24]

My mom had one too to get her big huge bangs. She did those bangs on us too.

[@LuvAtFirstCite]

This seems very time consuming - I can do my entire head of shoulder length hair with my curling wand in about 5 minutes to get the same “volumized” look. I say save your dough lol. But I appreciate you showing it to us! Great video!

[@Muffin5677]

I use the calista tools heated brushes and they’re my favorite way to curl my hair! Or fake a blowout! I use the brush like I would blowing it out!

[@susanvirginia6037]

They work well for me too.

[@ashaleywilliams8670]

It’s really not good to for curls but it’s amazing for bangs! I got one and I love using it to make my bangs big and bouncy!

[@misscrafty92]

Thanks for the video! It's great to see different techniques. I recently purchased this tool and I think your observations are correct. My hair is a long bob, doesn't quite come to my shoulders and I really like it for curling my hair under at the ends. I've also used it for curls and it worked great, but it does take some finesse. I like how close I can get to my roots, that so far has been the big win for me! Thanks!

[@wendio5437]

Like others have said, I had one of these in HS in the 80’s, so not new. I also got my extremely thick hair so stuck in it it had to be cut out.

[@drematedesco4095]

I would get my hair so tangled up. I would be so frustrated.

[@ka_gaertner]

Yeah, that wouldn't work with my hair either and It looks like lot of work and struggle! The bristles only get in the way!

[@kalishajnz]

This is an interesting tool. I loved the side with all the volume, it's gorgeous!! Definitely seems to have a learning curve and not too keen on the pulling but like you said it did a nice job. The amount of heat tools you must have, lol. Great video!!

[@debbiesue8207]

The results on the left side turned out so much better because of how you curled your hair and not so much the kind of hot brush you're using. So thank you for showing us HOW to get a lot of volume! :)

[@reallifewithrobbie5957]

My mom has been using the first brush wand for many years but she has short hair. It doesn’t work with long hair in my opinion. My mom’s hair always looks great.

[@crickettfenner8438]

I have used a brush like this for years and love it. Never have any problems

[@liljoop308]

The left side is so beautiful!! I love the way it curls your ends. A wand could never lol love your videos!! 💕

[@KellyeR1970]

I used have one like this and I got my daughters hair stuck in it, I was freaking out it was burning her hair and I basically had to rip her hair off it. Gotta be real carful with these. I'm having flash backs 😟

[@ZarnazFahad]

How long does it stay hot after unplugging?

[@diamondsdiamonds2261]

If you want like loose curls it works 💜💜 Amazing job❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦋💜

[@R3idy6589]

I had a babysitter get one of these caught in my hair when I was about 4(34 years ago). I had really long, thick hair and it was horrible. Back then my mom was not someone you wanted to make angry and she was livid. She refused to cut my hair so it was a lot of pulling, tugging and crying late into the night. Needless to say we never had to be babysat by that girl and her friend again. I agree with the person who said this is a steep price for something that really isn’t new.

[@jennyrose9454]

I think these work best on bob length hair and shorter. The big one like Revlon works great for longer hair.

[@theresamorgan1033]

I always think one side of your hair is always easier to do than the other.

[@BoehserCookie]

This video has a lot of ASMR effects (to me). I LOVE it!

[@tonyalp95]

It looks so pretty!! I hope you do like you did with the 10 short hair looks, only with medium to longer hair.

[@happycherylc]

This type of hot tool has been around for decades. Nothing new. If I wanted one I would not pay 200 for it. I'm sure there is another one forr 50 or less.

[@kellijones1882]

I was always told that these are more for volumizing or brushing through the hair for a blowout type of look, but not for curling though you could run it through curly hair. Before my grandmothers hair fell out from chemotherapy and before she got really sick from the cancer and passed away she would get a perm each month or ever how often you're supposed to get them, she used one of these to style her hair.

[@4439chiquita]

Another big no for me..! 🤷‍♀️ I'll stick to my Bio Ionic flat iron which I also use sometimes to make curls.

[@cristinaraileanu5656]

I' m a new suscriber but already loving your family and your videos!🥰🥰🥰

[@princesslinda81]

I had one almost like that back in the 90's white handle black bristles ..i have the Infiniti Pro Conair one now ...i Love your videos

[@littlebeebs1]

Seems if you have to wrap it around the barrel , might as well use a curling iron.

[@caite.7138]

My mom had a hot comb when I was about 5 or so I decided to use it and I got one side of my hair stuck in it it was awful they had to buzz one side of my head to get it out lol I’m so terrified of them.

[@ahification]

Are those little baby noises I hear in the background?? So sweeeeet!

[@machiedeguzman]

Can you do a review on Drew Barrymore’s Flower Hair tools, please xx

[@mcfiggy6019]

These brushes are nothing new. Had one in the 80s. It used to tangle my hair badly... Used to also make my hair very frizzy. $189 is a very steep price for something that isn't really innovative. Just saying...

[@Kischme71]

Same here! I hated that thing I spent more time trying to get my hair out than anything! This brought back those bad memories!!

[@cm_mb]

It's obviously not the same. Milabu's hair isn't tangled or frizzy. It's a better product than what was available in the past. You don't have to spend that price to achieve the same look. There's so many options now, I'm sure you can find something similar in the $50 range. I have one from InStyler I bought from Ulta a couple years ago on sale and paid under $30.

[@Kischme71]

@@cm_mb she did mention in video that her hair was frizzy and there were other products that produced a less frizzy curl. I'm sure they've improved it but a awful product to begin with improved, doesn't always make a great product in the end

[@ichuze7312]

I agree! I used them too. I think the only benefit today is the heat protection spray that wasn’t available to us back then.

[@florawatson2193]

Would this be good for straightening hair without losing volume? Good be a good test to see if it’s versatile and worth the money xx

[@Licey-ln8xs]

Nice video!! Can you recommend some heat protection products???

[@majasinas4514]

Your hair is so shiny!

[@stephvia6526]

Can you do a video with your favorite hair care products?!

[@oldandstillhere]

Anyone else holding their breath while her hair is going through those teeth? Ack! Flashbacks!

[@jawdroppingbeautybyjulie61]

That is so pretty. Especially the left side. Your left.

[@Latbirget]

I have an old Remington Pro static hot brush like that from 2013 which I have recently unearthed. The official videos from the time didn't do that method you showed on the left side which is interesting (they were just brushing it and curling it under at the bottom). I might have a go on it using that method so thank you!

[@amandam9840]

$189?!?!?!?!!! 😱😱😱 Pass

[@tanjabastigkeit2078]

It's a ridiculous price.

[@daniella4889]

$280 here in Australia

[@michellezamora6674]

I love your videos, straight to the purpose

[@bellamarisa]

I think that it’s a lot of extra work and definitely not worth the price. Great video and very informative. Thank you!!

[@MissMal25]

Sticking to my dyson airwrap

[@dreadmage8376]

Sees how amazing it is: yaaaaas Clicks link and sees price: noooo Lol love your videos!!! Definitely going to save up for this!

[@mijalakis3]

Instead of rolling the hair around the brush you actually need to put the ends of the hair around the brush and then roll it towards the root and then unroll back again

[@roxierisk6491]

Disappointing but honestly to be expected. I adore GHD and have for years but they’re best at straighteners (flat irons) and that’s it IMO. I’ve had two other different stylers and sold them both. I have to say when you finished and turned it off before brushing it out your curls SO reminded me of Mary Kate and Ashley’s hair in So Little Time 😂 that used to be the ultimate goals!! Xxx

[@vannesavazquez9751]

So expensive but I think for my mom and shorts hair are perfect

[@cami42874]

Love your hair style looks cute

[@bingkatnyopagodna1127]

that's on the go hair tool

[@malianicole5264]

love this video! im first! could you do a product/hoot tool/beauty room tour and favorites?

[@lori1508]

I had a brush like that in the 80s, but I started at the bottom and cured up to the root

[@garyzimmerman6367]

Why don’t you try some of the gamma/stylecraft products. They make some great flat irons and curling wands

[@palomamiyasaki7526]

You can use this same technique with the revlon brush dryer

[@flowerpowerkls]

I’ve seen other people use this tool and they didn’t have any issues using it at all and there hair didn’t look frizzy either

[@stephaniemiles3751]

Could be due to different hair types.

[@ake8913]

Ya I agree. Not a new tool at all. For long hair it does bring back bad memories. However, my aunt used this back in the day and I think even now and she has short curly hair and uses it for volume.

[@ake8913]

Oh... and I think instill have mine from 30 years ago in a drawer somewhere. 🤪

[@jesselynlim2984]

how long does the curl/volume last for? I’ve got a medium bob and would like to see if it achieves volume at the roots without curling the hair.

[@Izzy-dl9nw]

Thanks for the review 😘

[@Lorelai382]

You‘re hair looks dry - how did you prepare it? I thought the hair has to be damp.

[@jeanniecollier6763]

I ordered one as it was supposed to rotate and give me volume. It does not rotate and did nothing at all. Expensive round brush

[@GAMOM6969]

HeadKandy has an amazing one...

[@cmf89]

Love this! Can you review the Lange Le Duo??

[@analuisaperez7557]

Bought a Mika hot brush for my birthday unfortunately the next day I seized and ended up being hospitalized. I have HIV and because I’m hiv positive have PML (aka) brain virus so can’t be left alone. So got this so can sit n try to do my hair somewhat “normal”

[@brendakirk7250]

Would it probably work much better on super short hair?

[@89CIH]

Does this brush dry your hair like the dyson?

[@Sheperd716]

Can you please tell me what brush did you use to brush out the curls?

[@so53190]

Can you review the new one from hot tools? The shape is just like the revlon blow out tool but as a hot brush instead of a blow dryer!

[@candyxox9949]

Will it help to do curtain bangs?

[@bingkatnyopagodna1127]

i love that brush but I can't afford it I think it's good for preparing for my online class to look presentable

[@pnshn]

I saw Revlon just released a smaller brush. Please do the review~ 🥰

[@kenedidipietra5115]

I can’t always come here to see what beauty products to and not to buy! 😂💜

[@cecepham123]

I saw the price and lost interest 😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭 LOVE YOU 💕💕💕💕

[@Morghannaairay]

I have one I dont like it considering I got my hair stuck and had to cut it to get it out

[@raphaelafernandes6620]

AAAAAA....whats the polish? is it a red or a dark pink?

[@shriyasiddesh9789]

I really did not like it much actully for my damaged hair it will be worst. And just wanted to asked you that any chance that if your give way some of your beat hair straightener product??

[@sugerless20]

I'd like to get a hot air brush. What do you recommend that is light, about 1 in, less than $60? I'd like to volume & some curl or wave. A family member has the revlon one & its SO big. I think I wouldn't like it for my shoulder length fine hair. Also ceramic vs nylon bristles, which one is better? I don't use straighteners or curling irons because I'm afraid of burning myself. Could that happen on low heat?

[@charlottevizzuett9422]

Hi Milana, how do you keep your Revlon One Step Dryer? I honestly can't figure it out, thank you

[@Teddibere1]

Second side looks LOADS better hunni bunch. Teddy U.K. xx

[@Suzannem808]

Welp, you just saved me $189 in the Sephora sale

[@beckiepurcell4921]

Can you do a nursery tour/ making it vlog

[@chiara5272]

Nowadays this tool is sooo advertised but it never amazes me that much. I tend to lose a bit of hair, especially in this period it really is a lot!, and I find it to be not that practical... 😬😬

[@belindaallen654]

What kind of hair brush are you using in the video to brush your hair in between sections (pink brush)

[@elliebrown7057]

I just got mine and I’m so disappointed. It lasted in my hair about 20 minutes haha then was straight ... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@bamsalinas]

Really? I wanted to get this for waves or curls

[@poppyfortea]

My mother had one of those like 25 years ago. It was great for volume in her short short hair, but I only tried to use it as a child and it burned and tangled my hair and I ended up with bangs. 😂😂

[@laurafraser-graham4345]

I do that with my hair brush when drying. 🤷‍♀️

[@zoebollea2501]

I used to have one of those when I was a kid 🤔and I know was cheap

[@jeanellematthews5177]

I don't have patience for that tool. I have very long hair it would take a long time.

[@GloriaHernandez-vb7mf]

Is this brush good for short hair?

[@mariannenielsen8866]

I have, it okay

[@koolkatzify]

What a lot a trouble for something that can rip your hair out when you can get the same results with and iron not worth the price in my opinion

[@lmt16]

Of course it's gonna look volumized you curled it. Would have been nice to see you use this to just get volume not curls

[@fionadarragh1004]

Hi, I do like how you get to try out different type of tools and so on. It does seem to be a bit fiddly and personally I wouldn't have the patience for this to be honest 😘. I like the left side much better 💕. Just a wee quick question if you don't mind? Would you know a hairbrush brush brand that would stop pulling my hair? I have the Tangle Teezer fine coloured type but this isn't working as I still have hair fallout and as I brush my hair it even sounds like it's breaking my hair as well.

[@Teddibere1]

YES….Get THE WET BRUSH…..and….THE WET BRUSH SHINE….both brushes are SUPERB….much, MUCH better than Tangle Teasers. Teddy U.K. xx

[@consciouscommunity3897]

Is that the Rise? It’s so expensive.

[@NurseClaudia]

It’s like a hot roller on a stick. Just use hot rollers. You’ll have volume.

[@raghadalashoor6650]

It's nice and all But the hair losing is abit Worrisome even if you don't have any medical case Also the bristles are short And it's expensive and not worth it's work as there's other options in the market

[@nicholecassels2717]

What was the name of the other 2 you mentioned??
