I tried out the ghd rise Volumising Hot Brush on long, thick hair. Here's how it fared.

I can't remember the last time I styled my hair before leaving the house. Thinking about this ritual from a bygone era makes me nostalgic (remember going out?).

So, when I got the opportunity to review the ghd rise Volumising Hot Brush, it took me right back to the days of straightening my hair before a night out. What I'd conveniently forgotten, of course, is just how laborious the entire process is.

If you're not familiar, ghd has just launched a new hot styling brush that claims to be kind to your hair while providing all-day-long volume.

That basically means you'll end up with consistent results when styling your locks. The product takes 25 seconds to heat up, meaning you can get styling straight away.
