ghd The Blow Dryer Radial Hair Brush, Size 3, 45mm Barrel at John Lewis & Partners

The large barrel of the ghd the Blow Dryer (size 3) is best for blow-drying longer hair. This ceramic-barrelled brush retains its heat to allow for a faster blow-dry.

Blast hair until it’s 80% dry. Working with medium sections, place the brush into the root area and direct the heat from your dryer at the barrel. Keep the tension as you move the brush through your hair, directing heat at the barrel as you go.

And to create soft waves, dry each section, and then wrap it around the brush. Direct heat from your dryer on to the barrel of the brush and leave to cool for 30 seconds. Blast with the cool shot on your dryer before gently unwinding the section.
