Lady Jayne Salon Pro Rechargeable Volumising Hot Brush

Ohhh gosh, I wanted to love this so bad and I don't think I have ever clicked on an invite link so fast as I did with this one! Unfortunately, this product is not for me. I have medium length hair and a fair amount of it - so my first issue was that there would be no possible way I could finish all of my hair without this running out of charge. The fact that it is cordless is such a bonus, but not so much when it doesn't have much juice in the tank and you can't finish your hair!

My second issue was that I got this majorly stuck in my hair! I have quite fine hair which can tangle easily, but this was next level! I had to end up getting my partner to untangle this for me, all whilst panicking I was going to have to cut it out (if this also happens to you, make sure you turn the temperature off!). I did give it another couple of times after this, but I still just could not get it to look like it did on the videos of the model. I couldn't get any lift and I certainly couldn't roll it through my hair like she did without getting it tangled.

I do love the design, and love that it is cordless - overall a great concept, but just not for me. Perhaps it would work better for someone who is better at hair than me haha, but I will stick to my straightener and curlers for now.

I wanted to love this, as the idea of it sounds right up my alley. Unfortunately, I did not!

Naturally I have super frizzy hair, but I recently had keratin straightening which has been great, but definitely left my hair looking limp and flat. I was hoping this brush would give me the root volume I wanted whilst leaving my hair still looking smooth and shiny. I tried it on my hair in its natural state, and no matter how many times I tried I could not get a smooth uplifted look like you can get from your straighteners. If I pulled too tight my hair got stuck in the bristles and became more tangled, and if I didn’t pull enough there was no change in my hair even on the hottest setting.

I do have lots of hair, although it is fine, so it took me a long time to do it in smaller sections. Leaving my hair loose, it looked a mess and not very smooth or silky. What I did like it for is giving some oomph to a high pony tail or using it for touch ups on day two or three after my hair was styled with another tool. I definitely did not get the look of a great blowout like I had hoped.

Ultimately, this wasn’t right for my hair type. My trusty GHD still does a better job at giving me lift (if I use the right technique) and as convenient as this is being rechargeable and hand bag friendly, it just didn’t cut the mustard for me. It’s a shame as I love the Lady Jane hair tooth likes hair ties/brushes etc.

I will start off by saying I have quite long, straight hair which I blow dry with a standard hair dryer and a large ceramic radial brush for volume 2-3 times per week.

In my mind, this tool would be essentially the same thing except easier as I wouldn't have to battle with a brush in one hand and a hair dryer in the other..

How wrong I was.

As much as I tried, I was unable to create any volume near my roots. In one attempt I got my hair so tangled I couldn't get the brush out, which is not what you want when it's >160°C! Luckily it cooled down quite quickly and my hair doesn't appear to be damaged from that experience.

Some positives of this brush are that it uses a standard USB C which is handy. It has a pretty sleek design and seems to be of decent quality.

I imagine it would work better for volumising shorter hair.

Although I was unable to create volume with it, I can still use it just as a standard hot brush which is super handy on the go.

The hot brush is good and I guess will get easier to use once you know how to use it for your hair type I got my hair stuck a few times when I first tried it as I didn’t quite know what I was doing I guess practice will make perfect . I did love the fact it was lite weight compact and rechargeable also that it was temperature controlled

I couldn't get this to work on my hair. I do have hair past my shoulders and I didn't find that this hot brush had enough heat to style my hair. The bristles do not heat up like another hot tool that I used to have and I think this made a huge difference on the stylers ability to style my hair. It did help with volume - especially on my mums short hair it was better. I love that it is rechargeable and easy styling on the go. I just wish i could get the blow out type of look that I saw on the youtube video for the product

I was really excited about this product. I have perfectly straight natural hair and was looking forward to an easy way of giving it some life but I was left disappointed.

The packaging was nice enough, and the velvet pouch is a nice touch for keeping the brush and cable together when traveling. It also comes with simple instructions on how to use the brush and charge it.

I like that there is a light that changes from red to white to show that it is fully charged. Once charged, I read the rest of the instructions on what setting to use for my type of hair (medium heat 180 degrees for fine hair) and left the brush to heat up. I was sad to discover there is no way of knowing when the brush is up temperature.

I re-read the rest of the instructions on how to apply the brush. Put simply, it's pretty much the same way you curl your hair with other devices. Section it and do small bits at a time. Roll hair around the device, hold for a 8-10 seconds then release. The related youtube video shows the model twisting the heated hair around her fingers at the end like you would with other tools.

However, I was unable to replicate such good results. The best I got was a tiny crimp on my front strands, the rest stayed flat, and then the smell of burning hair - never a good sign! Maybe I would have got better results if I pretreated with heat protection etc but I don't own any and wasn't about to go buy some before I knew if this product worked. It's also apparent from the YouTube video that the model has naturally wavy hair already, and this is just making it sleeker. Maybe you get much better results if you already have hair with volume? But this seems counterintuitive for a volumising brush.

I'm left wondering what the pro of using the volumising brush is supposed to be? It seems like you might as well just use curling tongs or a straightener, unless you were able to achieve good results on a lower temperature? I been left confused and a bit sad that it didn't work for me.

This hot brush is good and really easy to use once you know how to use it for your hair type. When I first tried it I didn’t quite know what I was doing so just used it in a couple days until hair wash day it didn’t work very effective for my thin hair that way, I then washed and dried my hair popped in some heat protectant and then used it and it worked so well it gave my fine limp hair a great lift specially when focusing at the roots down. It’s great that there are different settings to ensure you protect your hair and only use a heat that works for your hair type. I really like how it has not cords so you can get so you can move around freely and don’t have to rely on being close to a plug I will for sure be reaching for this hot brush to give me a volume boost.

This hot brush is very simple to use especially as a first heat tool, just one button that controls on and off and which of 3 temperatures one wants.

It feels nice to hold, and I did not get cramps in my hand at any point while using it. It feels almost impossible to get burnt as the solid bristles act as a barrier between the barrel and my hand or scalp and the tip of the barrel remains cool to the touch.

It was quite effortless to use whether I was adding volume, curling or simply brushing through slowly to straighten and smooth my hair. I loved the volume I could get with it and how easy it was to do so. I dont think I can go back to flat hair haha! The velvet pouch is a lovely addition to store the brush in.

I'll start out by mentioning that I have curls. Anywhere from ringlets to random waves, depending on the day/weather/general mood of my body. The volumising hot brush is probably not something I would use on completely curly hair. After a full charge, I had to recharge multiple times, to get through my whole head of hair (chin length), and this was after getting rid of some of the hard work with the detangling brush. The tool itself was easy to use, and I imagine that on straight, or mostly straight hair, it would provide a lovely boost of volume and shine. You could feel the heat, but definitely not enough to cause any burns. The instructions were easy to follow, and I love that it is cordless!
