VS Vassoon Petite Style Hot Brush
Give bad hair days the brush off with the VS Sassoon Petite Style Hot Brush. Ideal for Summer, with its high humidity, or year round for those with hair that tends to frizz, the VS Sassoon Petite Style Hot Brush helps to tame hair as you style. With its optimal 190°C heat, and Ceramic technology, hair is tamed and smoothed as you brush, leaving it smooth and detangled. The lightweight, compact brush design means you can pack it in your gym or hand bag, for touch ups on the go, or keep it at home for effortless styling. If you travel a lot, it fits easily in your bag, and even adapts to the correct voltage if you are overseas (you do still need the overseas adaptor – it has an Australian plug). VA Sassoon Petite Style Hot Brush RRP $34.95. Available from Myer and Big W.
