Upon opening up the box, we found a handy black storage pouch for travel or for keeping the attachments all together. There’s a separate handle and seven attachments, including a diffuser, drying nozzle, curling tong, detangling brush and an oval volumising brush, as well as two different sized round brushes.
Between the bag and the attachments, this makes up the 8-in-1 aspect, which is a little misleading if you’re searching for eight styling heads. We didn’t mind, however, given there are a whopping seven attachments to try for a price tag just shy of £100.
We didn’t properly click the attachments in place at first, before realising our error when following an online instruction video, which we viewed by scanning the QR code on the side of the box.
It’s suitable for all hair types, and there are two air flow or temperature options, plus a cool setting. We’d recommend sectioning strands to maximise the use of its styling attachments.
For hair straight out of the shower, we went in with the drying nozzle to get it semi-dry, before styling with one of the three brushes. Our tester’s daughter has curly hair and found the diffuser’s lightweight attachment helped add definition.
The varying brush shapes impressed us straightaway, and they all have a ceramic and keratin coating to help hydrate hair, with the 32mm round brush creating straight or wavy locks.
Meanwhile, the 50mm round brush is designed for longer hair and there are six rows of rounded-tip plastic pins, which is why we could feel tension when styling our mid-length hair with it – the pull also helped lift our hair at the roots. While we didn’t see overt volume, the effect was a gentle blow-dried wave without frizz.
We also really liked using the oval volumising brush, as, when drying our hair from damp, it left our wave-prone locks smooth and straight, it’s particularly good if you’re looking for a more natural, sleeker option.
Finally, when it came to adding curls, the tong attachment was simple to use and the integral clamp held hair in place while the hot air circulated. There are holes throughout this tong, to ensure heat is evenly distributed, and we were left with tousled waves.
Overall, the different brushes are a great go-to styling option for short, mid-length or long hair.
