There’s nothing quite like stepping out of the hairdresser’s with a freshly styled blow-dry. The volume and lustre are simply incomparable, which explains why countless women treat themselves to this weekly indulgence – though it’s one that can quickly drain the wallet.
But women are now abandoning the salon in favour of a £50 thermal brush that could slash their annual hair costs by between £1,250 and £2,550. The Flikt Thermal Hot Brush is currently available for £50, reduced from £75, with customers claiming it delivers ‘the same result in about 10 minutes at home’.
However, for a limited time, shoppers can bag an additional £10 off with code SAVE20. It brings the total cost down to £40 until Wednesday, September 30.

Rather than juggling a conventional blow-dry that demands coordinating a hairdryer with a round brush, the Flikt merges both functions into a single heated brush that smooths, sculpts and boosts volume in one simple step. Its 38mm barrel is engineered to generate body, fullness and bounce, while the ceramic-glazed barrel ensures heat is distributed uniformly to sleeken the hair, as reported by Mirror.
It heats up to 180°C in less than three minutes, offers a temperature spectrum from 80°C to 220°C and boasts an LCD screen so you can monitor precisely what temperature you’re styling with. There are also over 30 million negative ions, which the brand claims help combat frizz, while its cuticle-sealing technology is engineered to leave locks looking sleeker and more radiant.
Thermal Hot Brush
The Flikt Thermal Hot Brush styles and smooths simultaneously, delivering natural-looking results without the damage. Ceramic glaze technology locks in moisture while nano ionic technology fights frizz from the inside out.
Furthermore, with the proper technique, beauty enthusiasts can use the Flikt to achieve waves and curls, eliminating the need for straightening or curling implements. It’s important to note, however, that the Flikt isn’t a substitute for a hairdryer as it’s meant to be used on completely dry, detangled hair, so you’ll still need to towel dry your locks first before grabbing the thermal brush – which is arguably the most significant distinction between this brush and a conventional blowout.
One of the most sought-after thermal hot brushes available is the ghd Rise, priced at £179. It’s claimed to deliver double the volume of naturally dried hair, though unlike the Flikt, it features just one ‘optimal’ styling temperature of 185oC.
Meanwhile, at LookFantastic, this BondiBoost Long Barrel Infrared Thermal Bounce Brush costs £105. Unlike ghd and Flikt which feature firm, nylon bristles, this model boasts soft, aloe-infused bristles and an extended barrel supposedly better suited to larger sections of hair.

The Flikt device has garnered a 4.5 star rating from customers, with many lauding how swift and straightforward it is to operate. One reviewer commented: “My hair hasn’t looked this consistently good since I started getting weekly blow dries. Except now I do it myself at home in minutes.”
Another commented: “This sounds dramatic but when your hair looks good, you feel good. This gives me a consistently great result every morning which genuinely sets me up better for the day.
“I used to go for a blow dry every week because I’m a bit spoiled but this has genuinely changed me,” a third wrote. “I get the same result in about 10 minutes at home and the savings are a bonus.”
Some users have expressed slight frustration with the device’s heating time, noting: “The brush takes a little longer to reach full temperature than I expected. Takes about 3 minutes rather than instantly. Once it’s there the results are brilliant, just factor in the warmup time.”

However, another satisfied customer shared: “I resisted hot brushes for years but this one has completely won me over. My hair goes from flat to voluminous in about 10 minutes and the finish is smooth without looking overdone.”
Another five-star review read: “The result is consistently glossy and no frizz. I use a light serum after and my hair genuinely turns heads.”
Priced at £50, the Flikt ranks among the most budget-friendly hot brushes on the market, potentially saving customers over £1,000 on regular salon blow-drys. The typical cost of a wash and blow-dry ranges from £25 to £50, with prices fluctuating based on hair length, stylist and location.

This means someone having a £25 blow-dry every week could be spending around £1,300 annually, while those paying £50 weekly might fork out £2,600 to maintain their freshly-styled locks. Of course, you’ll still need to use your own haircare products such as heat protectant and finishing spray.
But after the initial £50 outlay for the tool, you could potentially save between £1,250 and £2,550 annually, not to mention avoiding the hassle of vying for appointments.
The Flikt hot brush is currently reduced from £75 to £40 with discount code SAVE20.
