I was really looking forward to trying out this hair-styling tool, and it did not disappoint!
I usually blow-dry my hair and then straighten it. Both my hairdryer and strengtheners are quite old now so I’ve been looking at what it would cost to replace them both with a particular eye on Cloud Nine strengtheners. Phew! So, expensive! I was a little sceptical that I could get the same results with the VS Sassoon Air Style Brilliance as I can with using hair straighteners but I was pleasantly surprised!
Following the instructions from the “Air Style Brilliance Masterclass with Michael Brown” on the VS Sassoon YouTube Channel, I used the Dry Concentrate Attachment to blast dry my towel-dried hair. Then, I switched to the Paddle Brush to smooth out my naturally wavy hair. This is where I did things differently from the video. I then attached the 2-in-1 Styling Attachment that straightens and also adds volume at the roots. I must say, the results were amazing! Smooth and frizz-free hair. Super impressed!
I’ve since been experimenting with the Conical Attachment and I’m loving the look! The texture of my hair is a little coarse since I have been having blonde highlights put in compared to my hair’s natural state so I think this helps to hold the spiral curls I’ve been creating.
I’m excited to further experiment with the rest of the attachments to see what look I prefer or sometimes, just to change my look up a bit when going out for the evening. The good thing is, this kit is so versatile, I feel spoilt for choice! And, I’m loving the stylish black bag that conveniently holds all the tools which makes it perfect for travelling.
I really appreciate the versatility of this tool which allows you to switch from drying to styling and can achieve so many different looks!
I am so pleased I got the chance to try out this product! Thank you Beauty Review! No more need to look at expensive straighteners or hairdryers! I have everything I need in the VS Sassoon Air Style Brilliance to be able to create salon-looking hair!
I tried to use this as many times as as I could over the two week trial. When it arrived I had already washed my hair the day before so I used the smoothing attachment and wow it worked so well, my hair was instantly straighter and smooth and shiny. First impression was good, little noisy as it’s like a hair dryer but it impressed me without easy it was to use.
Next time I used it on wet hair, I will say I Don’t love the hair dryer component- it’s very slow and not powerful enough for me personally. I have resonably fine hair and it took so long to get it 80% dry, if your time poor I would say will still use a hair dryer. This time I used the smoothing brush to finish drying it, the straightening brush on the bottom layers and the the round brush on top layers to add some volume. These brushes I love and will use over and over, give a lovely soft smooth finish. The round brush is a game changer as it takes away the need for both a brush and drier which is hard to master, this is easy to get a good blow wave.
The oval brush was large for my hair but I found this was good for creating volume in my fine hair, I liked this attachment. The curler I used as I usually would a day after straightening, I did find I needed hair spray as usually to help them stay in but the air styler meant they were lovely soft curls not too tight. The shaping and texturising brushes were also easy to use, the video for this product is excellent. The glove which is included was great when curling as it does get hot! While it won’t replace my other hair tools completely I will be using this on week days to make getting my hair done quick and easy and looking good.
Tips: -Use the glove for getting in nice and close with the hot attachments. -I found using a combination of the attachments got the best carefree look
