For anyone with long hair, this new restyling gadget will transform locks on a non-hair-wash day. Simply plug in, heat up and brush through hair. The heated diamond-ceramic fins straighten tresses as you brush, while frizz-controlling ions are released, resulting in smoother, shinier strands. It’s perfect for anyone with a slight wave whose hair only looks best after being washed. Great for shoulder-length or longer hair.
