10 reasons women over 50 with short hair are throwing out their straighteners
A bob or a pixie is the hardest cut to do at home with the wrong tool, and the easiest with the right one.
Short hair is supposed to be the easy option. Then you try to style it with a flat tool that needs length to grip, and half of it slips out, and the back never looks like the front.
So you either book in every few weeks, or you accept that it looks good on the day of the cut and gradually less good after that.
Here are ten things that change when the tool is actually built for short hair.
Quick and simple, just brush it through
No sectioning and no clamping. You brush it through the way you already brush your hair, and it smooths as it goes. On a bob that is a couple of minutes, not a morning.
It works with short hair rather than against it
A flat tool needs something to hold on to, which is exactly what short hair does not give it. A brush catches the shorter pieces at the nape and around the ears that a straightener slides straight off, and it smooths and lifts in the same movement, so a bob keeps its shape instead of going flat.
You can reach the back of your own head
The back is where short hair goes wrong, because you cannot see it and you cannot easily get to it. The brush shape reaches the neck and the back of the head without you having to twist your arm round or work blind in a mirror.

Safe thanks to cool bristle tips
Short hair means the tool is close to your scalp and your ears the whole time. The bristle tips stay cool so it can sit right against the roots without catching you, and a small screen shows the actual temperature rather than the usual low, medium and high.
Always charged, simply via USB-C
It charges with an ordinary phone cable, and there is no cord attached to you while you use it. One full charge is up to 50 minutes of styling, which on short hair is a lot of mornings.
Ready in under two minutes
Up to temperature in under two minutes, and on a shorter cut most women are done a few minutes after that.
Why pay hundreds of pounds?
Professional tools run into the hundreds and most of them were designed for long hair. This is £49.95, down from £99.95, which is less than two salon visits, and a bob needs a lot of salon visits to stay a bob.

Recommended by hairdressers
Hairdresser Olivia May, who has more than twenty years behind the chair, puts it simply.
“In all my years behind the chair, I’ve seen few tools this easy for home use.”
“Most devices are made for the salon, not for home. This one actually is.”
Short cuts are the ones women most often come back to the salon for, not because the cut has grown out but because they cannot make it sit the way it sat on the day.

“Bought this for my bob after seeing it online. Charges through USB so I just pop it on overnight. Well made and worth the money.”
