Heated styling brush that gives ‘salon-worthy blowouts’ now under £50

Beauty lovers are snapping up a styling tool promising ‘salon-worthy’ results at home – and it now costs under £50. The heated brush, created to simplify everyday hair routines, combines the smoothing power of straighteners with the shaping benefits of a round brush, helping users achieve soft curls, bounce and volume with ease.

The Tymo Stylux Thermal Brush is currently on offer for £46.98, down from its usual £59.99 on Amazon, giving shoppers a 22% saving in a limited-time deal. Unlike hot-air tools, this brush focuses on shaping and smoothing rather than blasting hair with heat, making it a popular option for anyone seeking control and shine without the weight or noise of a traditional dryer.

Featuring Flexi-Fit technology and adjustable nylon bristles, the device glides through hair effortlessly while reducing tugging. A staggered bristle layout ensures even distribution of strands around the barrel for consistent heat styling, according to the brand, and a 30-minute auto shut-off offers extra peace of mind.

Beauty fans should be aware that this is a heated styling brush, not a hairdryer, and is therefore intended for use on dry hair. A 1.7-inch ceramic barrel is designed to generate volume and a soft, bouncy finish in a single pass, eliminating the need to alternate between curling irons and straighteners.

The ceramic coating is touted to help smooth the cuticle to minimise frizz and enhance shine, whilst dual PTC heating elements enable the brush to warm up in approximately 20 seconds and maintain a steady temperature. This regulated heat aims to style effectively whilst minimising unnecessary damage, reports the Mirror. 

Designed as a versatile tool, it can be used to straighten, create loose curls or add volume at the roots, with three temperature settings to accommodate various hair types. A 360° swivel cord and ergonomic handle make it more manageable, assisting in achieving a sleek, voluminous finish at home without the intricacy of a full salon setup.

Boots also stocks the Stylpro Red and Infrared Thermal Brush for £54.99, which has received high ratings from customers. It features 142 LEDs, adjustable temperature settings (ranging from 160 to 200 degrees) and includes a digital temperature display.

Argos also offers the BaByliss Volume Boost Thermal Hot Brush for £60. It comes with four temperature settings, a 38mm ceramic barrel, and ionic technology and anti-static bristles to help ‘tame frizz’.

The Tymo Stylux Thermal Brush has received an average rating of 4.1 out of five stars on Amazon, based on over 1,000 reviews. One individual commented: “Salon-worthy blowout at home – smooth, fast, and easy to use. I’ve tried several styling tools over the years, but this hot curling brush has completely simplified my hair routine. It’s perfect for creating soft curls, adding volume, or just smoothing frizz without needing multiple tools.”

Another commented as a part of a longer review: “This brush is AMAZING. I have fine/straight hair, shoulder length, sometimes with a bit of frizz and sometimes my hair just doesn’t want to cooperate. I haven’t used any heat tools for my hair in a while until now. This brush is giving me the best hairstyle that I have ever had when I was using my straightener every day to style my hair. This brush heats quickly, it is easy to use, it is light, the brush is the perfect size, not too thick or not too thin, just a regular or standard size of brush.”

Another said: “My hair is frizzy and thick, and it gets very puffy at the roots. I really liked this product because it straightened my hair from the roots quickly and easily, leaving it smooth and frizz-free.”

Some shoppers held differing views, however, as one person said: “Amazing, but not completely like the videos. A couple goes through the hair.”

Another commented: “Returned as the brush is too small for my hair. If you have short hair, then it would be fine.” The Tymo Stylux Thermal Brush is available from Amazon.
