    The time-saving hair tool Zoë Foster Blake is obsessed with

    Zoë Foster Blake — genius writer, founder of Go-To Skincare and all-around hilarious person — knows what's up when it comes to the beauty. Having written beauty columns for years, as well as starting not one but two beauty websites, a product recommendation from her is generally pure gold.  

    And this time, the topic was hair. Zoë recently took to her Instagram Stories to share her new hair goals; a clean and chic 90s bob. Not an easy feat for someone with notoriously curly, bouncy and prone-to-frizz hair. Who also happens to hate 'stylers' (her words, not ours).

    Upon telling her hairdresser of her ambition, he (Hermiz Daniel) introduced her to a 'hot brush'. More specifically, the ghd Glide, which retails for $210. The tech-savvy tool is shaped exactly like a regular paddle brush, only the 'bristles' are actually made from ceramic which heat up to 185 degrees.  Used on dry hair, it tames, smooths and styles with each stroke. Pretty fricken cool huh?

    Needless to say, as a busy mum-of-two, Zoë promptly nabbed herself a Glide for home. Having now used it a few times, she wrote, "If you are in a straight hair phase, or just want to look groomed, neat and smooth, it is a YES."

    It's important to note, however, that even though it looks quite similar to a regular brush, it is HOT, so your technique may need to adjust (unless you like a burnt scalp, then go nuts). Zoë recommends smoothing from the underside, brushing with the bristles facing outwards, away from the face.

    This doesn't mean brushing topside is a strict no-no, just be careful to keep it concentrated on the lower half of your hair, and at a safe distance from your cheeks. Or, try bh member bebeautiful34's technique: " I just run it through my hair whilst holding onto the ends, to keep the strand taut." 

    Either way, as soon you nail that flick of the wrist, this tool truly is a gamechanger.

    Have you tried a hot brush?

    Doesn't sound like this would work for me, with my fine hair.

    onlyoni 25 Aug 2019 8:36 PM

    I don't think this would work on my short hair.

    I do have a hot brush, it definitely smooths, but having fine hair, it also makes it so limp

    Sootyhere 28 Aug 2019 1:14 PM

    Good to know

    Shop A Everyday 28 Aug 2019 4:53 PM

    Yes but sure does smooth the hair and kinks out

    I already have straight hair but I use a straightener focusing on the mid lengths to ends to straighten them so it’s s bit more sleek and not just boof. I’m not convinced for my own use but wouldn’t mind a trial...!!!

    Does this curl too?

    skincare junkie 23 Aug 2019 11:59 PM

    I already have a straightening brush. But a bit confusing as the cover picture shows her with waves?!

    darasparkle 5 Nov 2019 4:33 PM

    I know I was thinking whether they used the wrong photo or posted about the wrong product!

    Snazzie 23 Aug 2019 6:31 PM

    I've been thinking about getting one of those tools that dry and straighten at the same time .. you know the ones with a round brush on the end and hot air comes through so you can dry and style your hair ? Has anybody tried one? I've no idea if they are any good.

    Snailor 23 Aug 2019 3:52 PM

    This reminds me of the 90s devices - hopefully this one works betters than the 90s ones!

    Sootyhere 28 Aug 2019 1:15 PM

    haha that's for sure.

    Peach perfect 23 Aug 2019 3:32 PM

    Does this mean go-to skincare is coming to BH ;)

    darasparkle 5 Nov 2019 4:33 PM

    I sure hope so!!!

    ThisIsMe 23 Aug 2019 2:32 PM

    Haha love the insta post but I wouldn't buy it myself.

    Frenchy1 23 Aug 2019 12:46 PM

    Hilarious as usual. Bless you Zoe! What you recommend I want as I have similar natural curls and hate hair tools. I don't know much about hot brushes, but will investigate.

    Peach perfect 23 Aug 2019 12:11 PM

    Her eyes are so petty :)

    Lisa359 23 Aug 2019 11:25 AM

    I've seen them around but I'm not sure if they would be good for my hair, I tend to stay away from all hot tools but she makes this one look tempting.

    2663anne 23 Aug 2019 9:55 AM

    I need this!

    Miss19 22 Aug 2019 10:52 PM

    Um, how gorgeous are her eyes?!

    misfortune8 22 Aug 2019 9:12 PM

    I rarely heat style because I'm so unco at it. This hot brush sounds easy to use.

    Tee631 22 Aug 2019 7:46 PM

    Wow the definitely looks handy

    IndieAna 22 Aug 2019 7:39 PM

    I was interested in these brushes when they first came out, but it would have ended up being another tool that I would rarely use

    S-P 22 Aug 2019 5:47 PM

    I have a hot brush at home but hardly ever use it. It doesn't take out all the frizz.

    Rose_P 22 Aug 2019 5:34 PM

    I’ve got a hot brush. Mine is a Dafni. I couldn’t live without it.

    LadyLola 22 Aug 2019 5:23 PM

    Great styling, those waves remind me of the Farrah Fawcett flick and really show off Zoe's lovely face.
