Team BD put recently-launched devices to the test.

ghd creative curl wand
Thanks to my natural curls, achieving poker-straight locks is near impossible. So I am thanking my lucky stars that boho curls and texture are so hot right now. The ghd creative curl wand is designed to wave and guide the hair into whatever kind of curl you desire - whether you’re going for boho waves or a Hollywood screen siren vibe. For me, the wand is a handy way to define the frizzy halo I’m left with if I allow my hair to air dry. Or, if I have gone that extra mile with a blow-dry, the wand adds some (always essential) glamour with voluminous waves. - Sarah

Philips Pro Dryer
When it comes to hairdryers, who doesn't want one that can blast your hair dry in a matter of seconds? I'm a bit of a hairdryer snob, but this Philips Pro Dryer surpasses any other I’ve tried. With this by my side, I can hop straight out of the shower, quickly towel-dry my mane, and then turn on the Pro Dry - and be left with completely dry hair than 90 seconds! But it's not just my need for speed that has this hairdryer tickling my fancy - it also features an innovative Style & Protect concentrator which stops hair from getting too hot, helping to reduce the risk of hair damage. Impressed. - Yelena

Conair True Glow Warm Steam and Cool Mist Facial Sauna
As the nights become darker and the air cool and crisp, my skin is starting to show signs that the winter months are not far away. The environmental damage of the season can’t be ignored and I’m starting my prep early. The Conair True Glow Warm Steam and Cool Mist Facial Sauna is a two-step system that helps to combats dryness, signs of ageing and environmental aggressors. The warm steam opens pores and cleanses, which helps with overall skin tone and elasticity. The cool mist then closes pores and hydrates skin, leaving my complexion glowing. My skin is now ready to face winter, head on! - Aja

VS Sassoon Wet & Dry Straightener
Let's be honest, we're all incredibly busy and waiting around for our hair to dry before styling is not always realistic. Ain't nobody got time for that, right? The VS Sassoon Wet and Dry Style Straightener has revolutionised the way I do my hair in the morning post-shower. The straightener can be used on wet and dry hair, and won’t roast it in the process. It straightens and smooths at the same time, making the whole straightening thing a whole lot simpler. Whether you're coveting pin-straight locks or the classic Victoria's Secret bombshell waves, you can easily achieve both with the Wet and Dry Style Straightener. Happy styling! - Kloe
