Love this! Better than the Dyson air wrap I tossed as it doesn't frizz my hair like that does it overheat and shut off!!. Dries my hair in no time. Great price. Only improvement would be a slightly smaller diameter brush for my shorter hair. Show details

Hate it – Biggest heap of junk ever!! Waste of $70. The brush itself doesn’t grab the hair well at all so it’s really hard to get the hair to stick to the brush in the first place. There is also a plastic end at the end of the barrel where your hair will constantly get caught in when using the rotation function and it will rip your hair out!! Pay extra for something good, this doesn’t cut it Show details

Perfect blow out on short hair – After reading mixed reviews about this air styler and but the bullet and purchased anyway. And I’m so glad I did. After light drying my hair after washing the styler did the rest. Even using on dry hair is excellent. I could always get 4-5 days between washes but now my hair always looks perfect even 3days later. I have short hair and gives the perfect blow out. (Photos are day 1, 2 & 3.. washed and dry hair) Show details

Didn’t give it the credit it deserved when first trying – When I first bought this I was disappointed when I took it out of the box I was disappointed with the bristles and “knew” that it wasn’t going to tame my thick very curly frizzy hair so gave it a quick go on dry hair decided it was bad and put it in the cupboard for 12 months. One day I needed to dry my hair and my normal hairdryer had dies so I… Read more

pulled this out to get through. oh my god!!!!! I could not believe the results I was able to get my hair dry in a quarter of the time there was no fiddling with a brush and dryer it was drying my hair so easy. By the time I had finished my hair was frizz free and smooth I could get away with not even putting a straightener through it. Usuall after blow drying my hair is straight but still boofy and frizzy and needs the straightener on it a few times over. I could not believe that my hair had turned out so smooth straight and shiny with just a blow dry. I can’t believe that I let this sit in my cupboard for 12 months because if I had given it a proper go when I first used it I would have had a lot more good hair days in the past year. I honestly cannot praise this enough. I found the best way to use it is to not use the automatic rotation instead rotate it yourself and do the top and bottom of the strand you are doing. It is so exciting when you find something that really works on my type of hair because now I don’t have to spend 2 hours just to straighten it.

The old 700W model is far better – I have previously owned the old 700w model for around 5 years, when it was working it was easy to use & very effective & I say when it was working because even thou I owned it for 5 years it had minimal use, I'm guessing it was used maybe 15 times at the absolute most & it stopped rotating, however was then useless to me as a dryer brush only,… Read more

after much research I decided to buy another as there are limited options for a rotating brush I choose to spend the extra $45 and get the newer 1000w model as the sales assistant said it dries a lot faster & comes with two brush sizes. I now realise that the 2nd brush is only for short hair so is useless to me anyway and in order to use the higher 1000w speed the brush rotates far faster than normal and my hair gets tangled, so I can't use the extra drying power & have to use the lower slower setting anyway, so the additional I paid for the new model was really a waste, the bristles also seems harder to move thru my hair than the previous, I wish I had saved the $45 extra & just purchased the old 700w, anyway I'll be making sure I use this one more often so if it does die after 15 uses it will still be under warranty.

Works for me on long or short hair – I've used this with both long hair (halfway down my back) and then, post haircut, very short hair. Both worked equally well. The bristles eventually wear out (took about a year) but it came with a second brush attachment which I'm still using. It blows hot air (couple of temp settings) while spinning the brush through your hair. The bristles are… Read more

very soft - my hair is super fine & thin so this is all good for me, but I'm not sure how well it would do on thicker or coarser hair.

It didn't curl my hair, but I didn't know it was supposed to? I just noticed some people complaining that it didn't curl. I was using it to smooth/straighten while drying, in the hope of cutting out the step of having to use straighteners after drying. It does not do as good of a job as first blowdrying and then straightening, but it does a heck of a lot better job than just blowdrying alone, so I'm happy. Smooths, adds volume, as fast as blowdrying but with added benefits.

Love this brush … life so much easier – This brush takes the work out of drying and volumising your hair, all at the same time. Easy to use. Lightweight. Would definitely recommend this brush to anyone who rolls their hair or even someone looking for a way to easily put body into your hair. You still need to use your heat protector products for your hair as well as your mousse but… Read more

this electric brush takes the work out of it and it works pretty fast. Good at opening up tightish curls too if you have curly hair

Love it – This has been a game changer for me, I actually love doing my hair in the morning because I get such great results. Just a word of caution - don’t try to control it by looking at the buttons in the mirror, you will lose every time lol. Go by feel, it’s easy to learn - and even when you get it wrong, it’s easy to correct. 10/10 from me.  Show details

Best substitute for going to the hairdresser! – I have used this machine (from the original purple model to the pink 1000 to the now updated rose gold metal one) over many many years. It is the best hair styler out of all of them. Also brilliant as can replace the brush heads. I used to have weekly blow waves but find this so quick and easy to use on my fairly curly hair that for the 20 minutes… Read more

Use it as a hairdryer – The interchangeable barrels on this are the perfect size and would be very useful but unfortunately the bristles are so soft they lack the ability to create any tension or grab your hair. Sadly, unless you have short hair or only want to style your bangs, the spinning barrel leaves you in a tangled mess. From an ergonomic standpoint however the… Read more

hair dryer is super comfortable to hold in your hand so I currently use it alone without the barrel attachments which I love. It has plenty of power and not too loud. If VS Sassoon could recreate this with stronger bristles and ditch the rotating feature it would be perfect!

Not bad – It works well when it is not ripping out your hair, it has nothing really to do with the rotation but fine hair gets stuck in the edges of the brush. Show details

Not for everyone – This hair dryer and styler combo doesn’t work with me because a) you need to hold onto the button to keep the blower going and hair brush spinning. B) once you have it on it just twist your hair into knots. C) you try and untangle it by pushing the reverse button but then realise that same button also pushed out hot air making your hair into a… Read more

bigger mess. Not for me. I spent more time trying to work it out and chopping a small piece of my hair out because it got so messed up. I’d rather stick to my hair dryer and big round ceramic Brush. Which I have now.

VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME – I have fine hair and this styler with storage case is perfect. One hand use for drying and styling at the same time. Good quality and doesn't seem to dry out my hair like a normal hair dryer. Also, NO frizz. Hot and cool settings and forward and backward directional styling. Show details

Love the big hair brush/dryer combo – I love the look I get at the hairdresser after a blow dry and found a hairdryer and brush combo just weren't giving me the same look. After my last hairdryer died I did some research and bought the VD Big Hair styler. I love it! Have used it 3-4 times now and each time I'm really happy with the outcome. I have shoulder length, layered hair which is medium thickness. Highly recommend. Show details

Hair styling in minutes – I have battled to find a hair dryer/styling brush for a while. This model does both.After some research about ionic and ceramic benefits I was thrilled to find this hair drier had both. The rotating heads blow hot or warm air over the hair thus styling and drying the hair together. It literally halves the time I've needed in the past to dry and style my hair. It is light and easy to use and compact enough to store easily.LOVE IT.

Big hair – I purchased the VS big hair Styler 3 weeks ago from Big W and I love it. I have shoulder length hair which is very fine and tends to frizz a little when just washed. But not anymore I use the brush on wet hair to dry and style and no more frizz it's great. The only negative is that I would prefer a smaller brush on it, but I'm getting used to it. I would certainly recommend this product. My hair looks a lot better since using this hair Styler.

Wouldn't recommend – I loved the product initially. It comes with two brush attachments and in less than 12 months the bristles on both brushes had worn and I do not get the same results with styling. I wrote a letter to Conair sending a copy of my receipt as the warranty was for 2 years. I was told that because it was considered normal wear and tear it was not… Read more

covered by warranty. I was given the option to purchase new brushes. I don't find this acceptable, 2 brushes should not wear out in less then 12 months. I am now looking at the Baybliss Nano Titanium as the the bristles look better quality. I paid over $100 for the VS Sassoon product and certainly wouldn't recommend it.

New favourite hair styling tool – I cut my long hair to mid length with layers and decided I needed something to help me with styling my new ‘do as my arms ached at the thought of attempting a blow wave with a round brush and hairdryer. This product obviously seemed perfect. Since purchasing this styler, I have not used my hairdryer or hair straightener. It does take a… Read more

little bit of getting use to the controls initially, but once you do it is easy to use. Do take caution that your hair doesn’t wrap all the way around the brush or it will catch and pull at your hair from your scalp if you don’t release the rotate button in time.

I like that it comes with two different sized brush attachments and that each has a protective sleeve.

overall, I’m really happy with this product.

Great Product highly recommend – for years I've been using this styler just recently purchased a new one, it gently dries & styles my fine wavy hair with volume & bounce. Cheap ALDI one no good.

Does the job – I bought this thinking it would change my hair game. First few times trying it, it worked like magic. After a while, my hair kept getting tangled in the styler and my hair is getting damaged..

It hurts – Recommended by a friend. I did a bit of research before purchasing one. The reality is it is definitely not as easy as shown on Youtube. You have to be very good and controlling the motion of the curler otherwise it'll pull on your scalp and can potentially cause burn! As much as it says it can dry your hair while styling it, it definitely is not… Read more

as effective as a blow dryer, as it takes a long time to just dry a damp hair. The brush were very soft and they collapse after a few uses. I was still working out how much hair to curl each time but the brush did not last long enough for me to acquire the skill. I think it takes a lot of practice and patience, of which I do not have. So maybe it may suit you but not me.

I love this!! – I was given this for Christmas to replace the old one which gave up after 10 years. I love it!! I've always had trouble blow drying my hair but this makes it so easy and the results are brilliant. No frizz, smooth and shiny. Only my hairdresser can do it better!

Good, but then not so good – Loved styler at first, however, it has slowly over time has broken. Dryer is about 2 1/2 years old bits have broken off & small pieces have even been flicked out through the front of the dryer when being used, which could be extremely dangerous. Last time I went to use the dryer, the end where the electrical cord attaches just fell apart in my… Read more

hand. I haven't dropped the dryer, I'm the only one who has used it, and it was always stored away when not being used. VS (Conair) aren't interested, so would never buy another one..

Love it but – I'm on my 2nd big hair styler, the older one goes in the caravan. The biggest down side is the roller brushes wear down quickly but you can call conair for replacement brushes. I never use the little brush as it's a real hair puller, the big one is fine once you get the hang of it but done let your guard down or it will try & scalp you lol. I dry my hair off a bit with the hair dryer then set to work with the big hair styler...much quicker.

Love it – Didn't like it at first... but wow. I've always stayed away from blowdrying my hair because I was hopeless at it but this makes styling and drying hair so easy. No frizz. No bumpy bits. Adds shine, things I dislike about is that my hair gets stuck in the turn process but it's toleratable. I have curly hair so this is a win. Would purchase the head parts by themselves to replace mine if I knew where to get them from!  Show reply

Can't live without it – When I first got this product I had to get use to the button control, but now I love it and because I have arthritis in my hand, it makes my life so much better for drying my hair and styling it no matter where I go with it, to Bali Indonesia and back!

Good but hair does get caught! – Much, much easier to use than a hair dryer as you don't need to use both hands. It is very easy though to get your hair stuck in the machine and for it to tangle!

So easy to use – Love this hair dryer. With long hair it can take ages to get it dried but this hair dryer makes short work of it & straightens it in the process. Too easy!

OK. Product needs more thought on quality, construction, & functionality – Idea is great. Leaves hair silky smooth. Hot & Cool slider is faulty (Cool setting if far too warm). Burns my scalp on warm setting (Have to slide on and off several times to correct the heat setting). 1. Would be great if it had a shot of cool press button (very awkward to slide to cool setting while styling) 2. Bit bulk for lady's hand size Hopefully the next release will be better.

Good when it works – I am on my second styler in a short period of time because the clips on the main part that the brush fits into break very easy. The styler itself is good until it doesn't work. It isn't covered under warranty. They aren't cheap so don't think I will buying another one. Very disappointing.

Rubbish – This hair styler is expensive and useless. Like most stylers these days it leaves the hair frizzy and doesn't have different airflow speeds. It blows either hot or cool at the same speed.

Like the product! – Like it much more after using it a few months later! It is very light weight too when compares to the hair dryer, which is what I like the most.

Pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase – I've heard mixed reviews about these rotating hair dryers but after a recent dismal attempt at blowdrying my hair n in an attempt to save it from the flat iron i decided to bite the bullet and buy it (helped that it Was on sale too to persuade). It is so much easier than doing your own blowdry i am all thumbs usually but i managed to use this to… Read more

give a really good blow out! Takes a bit of practice took me 45 mins to do shoulder length hair but i can see me getting quicker with practice. If my hair was any longer though as in past my shoulders and nearing bust lengths i would forsee issues with tangles. If the hair rotates on itself the barrel will stop rolling so it will never end up continually pulling and rolling on itself which is a good plus though. I guess longer hair would just need smaller sectioning to get past this. Overall im impressed and happy and can see this being used regularly.

Great for long hair, not so good for short curly hair – The VS Big Hair 1000 works great on long hair making it shiny and smooth and gives a beautiful natural straight look with loose curls at the end. I find it hard to use on my shoulder length hair giving it too much curl and body and is not ideal for smoothing the shorter hair at the front. I'm putting it away until my hair grows longer!

Good for adding volume and shine to hair – I own the original version, which has the nondetachable head. The automatic rotating brush is great for adding volume and shine when blow-drying my hair. I generally turn it up to the highest setting for a quicker rotation and make the whole drying process quicker. Make sure that you remove any stray hair on the brush after each use otherwise your hair is more likely to get tangled.
