Start by brushing your hair through with the Duet Blow Dry until it’s about 80% dry. Once your hair is mostly dry, section it and use the Duet Blow Dry to smooth over sections, curling the brush at an angle to create volume and bounce. Depending on your styling technique, you can create a variety of styles with this tool. Twist the barrel away from your face for beachy waves or mimic rollers by pulling the hair upwards and rotating the brush.

Keep sectioning and styling until your entire head of hair is complete. The tool doesn’t have a cool shot button (which I find surprising), so if your hair tends to drop, use a hairspray to cool and set your style in place.

After just one use, I was hooked. It’s easy to use and truly eliminates the need for multiple styling tools, making it a great travel option. The snag-free bristles don’t tangle in your hair (something I’ve found with other blow dry brushes), and the elliptical-shaped heated barrel makes it easy to get right into the root for volume and lift. It also leaves your hair smooth and sleek, and the low temperature helps minimise heat styling damage.

One thing to note – the ghd Duet Blow Dry tool works best when your hair is already 70-80% dry. I tried using it on dripping wet hair once, and while it did work, it took much longer and left my arm aching by the end.

At £379 it’s an investment. But if you’re someone who regularly uses two or more heat styling products in your hair rotation, this might be a good way to streamline your styling.
