IF you grew up in the eighties and nineties, you’ll probably have memories of your mum using a hot brush to get the perfect blowout.
Well, the nostalgic hair tools are back and one beauty expert is getting better results with a Dyson Airwrap dupe – and it costs just a fraction of the price.
In fact, hair stylist Matt Newman has been proving it doesn’t cost a lot to look good after picking up the gadget during a trip to Boots.
Better known as @MattLovesHair on Tiktok, the US beauty guru has a huge 2 million followers his hair hacks and viral reviews.
Having crossed the pond for London Fashion Week, the influencer was stunned by what he found in the aisles and even gushed about the the Revlon Hot Air Styler on the app.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,” he squealed as he demonstrated how easy it was to use on his hair, with the hot brush drying and curling at the same time.
Styled in mere seconds, the content creator couldn’t get over how quick it was to get a classic blowout and told fans: “This thing is magical.”
“Look…I mean are you kidding me?” he gushed as he dangled the tight curl, then added: “Easiest curler ever!”
Brushing out his long locks, it was clear how impressed the hair stylist was by the Boots buy with his shocked look saying it all.
“So pretty,” he gasped as he showed off his now tamed locks in the viral video.
In the comments, fans were equally impressed with the nostalgic hair tool and were eager to re-try the forgotten device.
“The results look better than any Dyson Airwrap video I’ve seen,” wrote one amazed viewer, with another adding that they’d love the hair tool as a kid.
They commented: “I had one of these when I was 13/14 and they are actually by far the best curling brushes I’ve used.”
Others weren’t so sure after getting into a tangle during their childhood, with a third saying: “So many girls in the UK got our hair all tangled as a teen and still traumatised!”
For those who weren’t terrified as a kid, you can find this super cheap hair tool in the aisle at Boots for less than £20!
Listed for £18.99 on the Boots website, some commenters even claimed that they’ve found the device for cheaper elsewhere.
“I got it for £10.90 free shipping,” revealed one happy shopper, who proved that you don’t need to spend a lot to look good.
By comparison, the Dyson Airwrap will cost you a staggering £479.99 – that is over £461 more than the high street dupe.
If you weren’t already sold, the Revlon tool also comes with 2 heat/speed settings and two different brush attachments (19mm and 25mm).
There’s even a curl release switch just in case you do end up getting tangled up, although we think you’ll be just as impressed as Matt.
Seems like this influencer has found a way to banish bad hair days.
