VS Sassoon | Chasing Elixir

Ever since the great haircut I got at Sui Hair Salon 2, I’ve been looking for ways to recreate the same slick do I went home with that day.

The roots and ends are pretty good, thanks to the skills of Sally the magic hairdresser. But as you can see, I’m having trouble with the fringe and crown, both areas taking their natural positions either side of my head – looking limp and frizzy.

So what to do? This is the answer - Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Styler.

What They Say:

The Big Hair Styler creates gorgeous volume and shine as you style. It combines the benefit of a hairdryer with a rotating, motorised brush in the one appliance to give you total styling control in one hand. This unique styling action allows the large ceramic barrel to create fullness and body as you style whilts the soft bristles create ultimate shine and smoothness.

How to:

1. Wash hair and towel dry.

2. Apply your choice of leave-in hair conditioner and treatment. I use L’Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil (review here).

3. Run a wide tooth comb through your hair to de-tangle, then section your hair to the desired directions. For me I want the fringe to go forward, and the crown to go backward.

4. If you have long or thick hair, leave the hair in this parting until it’s 90% dry.

5. Use the Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Styler to blow dry in the same direction as the parting. You’ll need to work on a small amount of hair at a time – as below video:

6. Apply some more treatment products to the end.

And viola! Smooth, voluminous hair that defies the natural parting of the hair.

I still need to improve the way I do my fringe, but I love how it now naturally falls to the side to frame my face. And the crown looks much nicer in a slight dome shape!

If you have stubborn middle-parting hair like mine, or want to simplify your blow-dry, then I highly recommend Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Styler. And in case you’re worried – unlike some bristle round hairbrushes and rollers, this will not tangle and get caught in your hair.

Vidal Sassoon Big Hair Styler retails $99.95 and is available in leading department stores and electrical appliance outlets nationally. For more details visit http://www.vssassoon.com.au/
