I don’t know about you, but if I’m having a bad hair day, its mostly because of my hair looking lank, flat and not having enough volume. Enter the Babyliss Root Boost!
This hair product is a genius idea and I don’t know why it hadn’t been thought up before. Its basically a really slim crimper that allows you to crimp your roots as close to the scalp as possible, which gives the same effect as backcombing just without all the tangling and saves a lot more time!
I’ve filmed a video to show you exactly how to use it, which you can watch below to see how I create a hair style full of volume! Again, this was my second attempt at filming this video, sorry for being so awkward.
I have a few more things I’d like to add that I forgot to say in the video – I think this will really suit and look amazing on girls with shorter hair. Because my hair is so long it weighs down my roots, but I think girls with shoulder length hair would really benefit from the volume this tool gives. Also – do watch out for burning your scalp – because the crimp is so thin it is very easy to accidentally touch it to your head and it has taken me a while to get used to not burning myself! Other than that, I think its a really good product for helping add texture and volume to any hairstyle.
Now I have the chance to giveaway one Babyliss Root Boost to one of my followers! All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post telling me your hair icon for some hair inspiration PLUS your email address so I can contact the winner!
The giveaway ends on Friday 16th December and I will choose a winner via a random generator.
Good luck everyone!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
To choose the winner, I deleted all the double comments and was left with 101 entries. I used random.org to choose a number between 1 & 101 and was given the number 54, which is Whimsical Wolf!
CONGRATUALATIONS!! Keep an eye on your email inbox!
Thank you to every one that entered – I’m getting together a few treats for my own personal little giveaway in the New Year so stay tuned for that!
Please note this is a sponsored post courtesy of Babyliss!
