    The time-saving hair tool Zoë Foster Blake is obsessed with

    Zoë Foster Blake — genius writer, founder of Go-To Skincare and all-around hilarious person — knows what's up when it comes to the beauty. Having written beauty columns for years, as well as starting not one but two beauty websites, a product recommendation from her is generally pure gold.  

    And this time, the topic was hair. Zoë recently took to her Instagram Stories to share her new hair goals; a clean and chic 90s bob. Not an easy feat for someone with notoriously curly, bouncy and prone-to-frizz hair. Who also happens to hate 'stylers' (her words, not ours).

    Upon telling her hairdresser of her ambition, he (Hermiz Daniel) introduced her to a 'hot brush'. More specifically, the ghd Glide, which retails for $210. The tech-savvy tool is shaped exactly like a regular paddle brush, only the 'bristles' are actually made from ceramic which heat up to 185 degrees.  Used on dry hair, it tames, smooths and styles with each stroke. Pretty fricken cool huh?

    Needless to say, as a busy mum-of-two, Zoë promptly nabbed herself a Glide for home. Having now used it a few times, she wrote, "If you are in a straight hair phase, or just want to look groomed, neat and smooth, it is a YES."

    It's important to note, however, that even though it looks quite similar to a regular brush, it is HOT, so your technique may need to adjust (unless you like a burnt scalp, then go nuts). Zoë recommends smoothing from the underside, brushing with the bristles facing outwards, away from the face.

    This doesn't mean brushing topside is a strict no-no, just be careful to keep it concentrated on the lower half of your hair, and at a safe distance from your cheeks. Or, try bh member bebeautiful34's technique: " I just run it through my hair whilst holding onto the ends, to keep the strand taut." 

    Either way, as soon you nail that flick of the wrist, this tool truly is a gamechanger.

    Have you tried a hot brush?

    I would give it a go and Zoe is beautiful.

    BeautySwan88 23 Nov 2020 3:39 AM

    This saves me so much time. I'm always late for work. Maybe I could try this.

    Jodes71 17 Oct 2020 1:05 AM

    Might suggest this as a Christmas gift.

    sootyblack_14 5 Sep 2020 10:01 AM

    I do have one, and like it, but it really makes my hair so thin, i wish it would give some body too

    Angage 3 Sep 2020 7:16 AM

    No. I have never tried.Not sure this is good for everyday.

    Sally10 2 Sep 2020 7:14 PM

    I haven't tried this sort of product before.

    Susmat 2 Sep 2020 12:14 PM

    Not a fan

    Ellyloves 1 Sep 2020 8:28 PM

    This brush looks so good!

    Shop A Everyday 1 Jan 2020 1:37 AM

    I like my hot brush, it sure does smooth, but also makes my hair so limp

    darasparkle 5 Nov 2019 4:32 PM

    Ooh I really want to try this!!

    I have thick, wavy, frizzy hair. My first heat brush was $12 from Wish and I loved it. Yes I still needed to use a flat iron over the top but it really cut down the time it took to get my hair poker straight. The wish brush started melting one day so I threw it away, and before getting another, I gave myself a buzzcut, so didn't need it. Fast forward two years and I have just purchased the Aldi Visal heat brush, where reviews said it works as well as one 6x the price. It was only $25. So far, I'm so very impressed!!!!

    Megan Papamichael 1 Nov 2019 12:54 PM

    I wouldn't mind trying this out but I do love the precision and control of a flat iron/hair straightener.

    Shop A Everyday 30 Sep 2019 11:04 AM

    Sure makes the hair shiny

    Kira Parli 28 Sep 2019 3:50 AM

    Hi! I just discovered an infrared hair straightener for really good price and it is amazing! Highly recommend for fine salon hair look! Easy to use, no damage for hair! I totally love it! https://www.amazon.com/Xtava-Infrared-Flat-Iron-Straightener/dp/B00RFWKUWO?ref_=ast_sto_dp/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=genie005-20

    I like the sound of this, but I’m a bit scared that I’d burn myself!

    Omyara 16 Sep 2019 11:40 AM

    I'm so curious about this brush however I do not want to waste my money on another gimmicky product. I heard a lot of people recommend it, I'm not sure if it will do anything to my very curly hair.

    Neel8888 6 Sep 2019 12:27 PM

    I have a similar attachment on my VS Sassoon rotating round brush and use it occasionally. It doesn't really do anything special but it's easy to use and gives a slightly more polished look. $210 is not an amount I would spend on anything of the like.

    this_is_Sherry 4 Sep 2019 4:01 PM

    I own the VS version of this, but I have only used it twice and then went back to my hair straightener... unfortunately it didn't work for me, because as soon as there is slight hint of moisture in the air my hair looks like I didn't straighten it at all! Total waste of time and money...!

    I had a heated brush, but I didn't find it overly effective,

    Beautybabe140194 30 Aug 2019 11:24 AM

    I have tried heated hair brushes before and found they did not work particularly well for my hair - curly and fine.

    ray_jay 29 Aug 2019 7:11 PM

    dont have time for this hair tool but it looks handy

    Petal 29 Aug 2019 3:25 PM

    I limit my use of heated hair tools because my hair is very dry, but I can see why this product would be useful.
