With Black Friday nearly a week away, big-name brands and retailers are dropping the prices of bestselling products, including cult hair tool favourites from ghd.
As a beauty writer, I spend much of my time reviewing products, interviewing industry experts and delving deep into new formulations, so I know a thing or two about what items are worth spending your money on. When sale events like Black Friday roll around, it gives beauty lovers like me, and eagle-eyed shoppers, the perfect opportunity to save on coveted products.
We’ve already seen great discounts drop on big names in beauty, but something that I won’t be able to resist? The ghd rise volumising hot brush. The hair tool has been compared to the Dyson airwrap and it’s a whole lot more affordable. And right now, it’s got more than £40 off. Keep reading for why you should invest in one.

ghd rise volumising hot brush: Was £179, now £135.99, Amazon.co.uk
While the ghd rise volumising hot brush was released in 2020, it really rose to fame in October last year, thanks to influencer @bambidoesbeauty when she shared her love of the hair tool. Trusting it as her old faithful for a bouncy blow-dry finish, she features in many of her videos. The video had more than 3.8m views, and of course, the product sold out, so I’m surprised to see it so heavily discounted in Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Considered a cheaper alternative to the OG Dyson airwrap (the beauty team has put the two head-to-head in a review), the ghd rise did land a spot in Louise’s review of the best hot brushes. It’s “shaped like a barrel, with 5mm cool-touch bristles that are evenly spaced out across the surface to comb through hair and leave your locks smooth, with added volume and a loose curl,” explained Louise. She especially loved that the tool ensures limited heat damage, with temperatures of up to 185C, which ghd assures us is the optimum temperature for long-lasting styles, without damage.
If you just can’t wait to achieve red-carpet-ready hair, be sure to snap up the cult hair tool while it’s been heavily reduced.
