  Easy styling with a beautiful result!

  Thank you Lyko for the opportunity to test this gem, the OBH Nordica Bjørn Axén Tools Magic Style Brush PRO 30 mm heat brush! Here come my thoughts and experiences after the test! A bit about my hair: Coarse hair strands, thick, long, dry, frizzy, and naturally curly, untreated! Sensitive scalp! This is really the right styling product for me to use. With its long cord (3m) which is super great, thank you for that! A good manual is included. Makes no noise😍! The brush is easy to understand, used on dry hair, simple stylish design, not heavy (perfect for those of us with pain or weakness), comfortable in the hand and gives a beautiful result! Quick heating. And a light that turns on when it’s on! There are 2 heat settings to test, 1 & 2. I mostly use setting 2! It’s important though that I brush through my hair a few times beforehand with a hairbrush (less risk of it getting stuck in the brush) and then section the hair to make styling easier! When styling, I use heat protection. It may take a few tries to get the technique down, this is of course individual... I’m still learning...! I have fallen in love with this heat brush! I’m super satisfied! It’s fun to use and the result on my hair is so nice! Shiny and soft hair, curls or straight hair! I do think it would have been even better with a slightly larger brush for my thick long hair since this one was only 30mm. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJØRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Doesn't work for my hair

  My hair type: Curly, frizzy, dry, and colored. I’ve been lucky to test this heat brush for a while. When you turn on the heat brush, it gets warm in a few minutes, which is of course appreciated. The hair "glides" easily on the brush and doesn’t get tangled 🤩 The size of the brush is also just right. Unfortunately, this heat brush didn’t suit my hair as it doesn’t make any difference in my hair. My hair has always been hard to style 😤 I’ve tried using the heat brush on dry hair, but also a little damp. Unfortunately, I get no volume, and I can’t create any waves either. I’ve done everything I could and followed the instructions as well as videos. Nothing works on my hair, and it’s just as frizzy as before. I think the heat brush works better on someone else’s hair that isn’t as hard to style as mine. (For example, when I straighten it, it gets curly after an hour, and the same goes for curls, they lose their shape very quickly). Anyway, it was super fun to test the heat brush, but unfortunately, it didn’t become a favorite for me ❤️ I will give it to someone else in my vicinity who hopefully gets better use out of it ☺️ Otherwise, the heat brush seems to be of good quality, but I can’t unfortunately give it more than two stars since I have no use for it. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Hey Johanna, thank you so much for a well-written review! 🙌😄 It's a shame that this brush didn't quite work with your hair, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the person you give the brush to will like it. 😍 If the lucky recipient of the brush wishes for some tips on how to use the brush and on products that can be used with the brush, please reach out to our hairdressers via email at frisoren@lyko.com 🤩 Take care! ⭐

  Requires a bit of practice

  I tried this (30mm) and the same in 45 mm. I tested the products on my daughter with straight, long hair and myself with shoulder-length, curly hair. I find that 30 mm works best for my hair and 45 mm for longer hair. My hair can get frizzy quickly, but this product calmed it down nicely. My daughter's hair also felt fresher. I don't have much practice using such styling tools, and I found it a bit difficult to achieve the desired result. I will continue to practice. I like that the product has a long cord, is gentle on the hair, and is reasonably priced. #HBONORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL #LYKOINFLUTESTER

  Temperature

  In the description of the PRO model, it states that the previous model only reached 150° C, but in several comments on the older model, you respond that the temperature reaches 185° C. Which temperature is correct for the previous model, that is, the original?

  Hey Elsa I reached out to the supplier to double-check, and the older model reaches 150° C 💖 Thanks for a great question, and I will pass this info along so we can change it in the product text 🙏 Take care ☃️

  Magic Style Brush PRO 45mm😻

  I have been super lucky and got to test the styling tool from Björn Axén, and I must say I am very impressed! I have used very few styling tools in the past since I struggle with painful shoulders and neck, and many tools often require time, which has made it difficult for me. But with this hot brush, you get a fantastic blowout effect without having to wash and blow-dry your hair first, as you use the brush on dry hair. This is a big plus for me! I am looking forward to exploring different hairstyles and getting to know the brush better over time, but I know that this product is something I will use a lot going forward😻 It's important to remember to use a heat-protective product before use, otherwise it can be very damaging to the hair since the brush gets very hot. It smooths out, gives a nice shine and finish to the hair while also providing volume and bounce, just the way I like it. I won't rule out buying the same brush that is a bit smaller and gives even more defined curls. My hair is very long, so it can be a challenge to style it, but with this brush, there was zero stress. I have straight, Nordic hair with fine strands, and it can get a bit tangled and quickly worn at the ends, but it went so smoothly to comb through with the brush and roll up. I got an even better effect by having a bit of hairspray in my hair first, then letting it cool down before I sprayed again for max hold. I also really like that it has two heat settings so that you don't have to damage your hair unnecessarily. I highly recommend this 😻 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Warm coarse brush for shorter hair

  I have tested HBO Nordica, Magic Style Brush PRO 45mm. My hair is both long and quite thick, even though the actual hair strands are quite fine and soft. I also have natural waves and a bit of curls. I have also cut my hair myself in layers to lighten how it falls. It is probably a bit worn at the ends in some places. My first thought is that the product is quite user-friendly. There is a power button and a temperature button where you choose between level 1 or 2. I used level 2. I thought that warm air would come through the device because it resembles many other devices that are like this, but it does not do that at all. After the shower, my hair is quite difficult to comb due to the length and many tangles, so I usually let it air dry to preserve the strength in the hair strands (as it is not recommended to comb wet hair). Otherwise, I use hair dryers/an air styler if I want it styled and dried quickly. It quickly takes an hour or two if I want to do all my hair, so here I have only tested on some parts of the hair. 👍 Long cable, rotatable end that prevents the cable from tangling 👍 Hair does not become static 👍 Heats up quickly 👍 It is quiet 👍 Best for shorter hair with thicker hair strands 👎 Does not dry the hair, no air 👎 No storage bag included 👎 A bit too coarse a brush for hair strands that are very fine and tangle easily. For my hair type, I would probably rather recommend Babyliss's Air Styler where the brush is much gentler/softer. I have written a review on that before. In short, I would say that it is a very nice device for someone who has a bit shorter hair that does not tangle so easily. You get very nice soft ends, and especially if you have cut your hair in layers. Then it lays nicely down. You need to have a bit of good time and patience for long hair. I may not be the right person for this product. I probably need a hair dryer included in the device, as well as a softer brush due to fine hair strands. But if you know what you are looking for, this is definitely a nice brush for the right hair type. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Totally okay😐

  I've been testing the brush for almost 2 weeks and was really looking forward to it arriving🤗 I have shoulder-length, fine hair. Unfortunately, the brush was more of a minus than a plus for me. I’ll write about both below 👇 - I have to start with the biggest disappointment... that it wasn't an air brush, but just a brush with heat👎 - It's easy to turn on by holding the button down, and you can also press it up a notch for a warmer temperature👍 - It heats up quickly👍 - The brush doesn't create direct curls, but more of a wave 👍👎 - Hair often gets stuck and is hard to "roll out" again. It pulls, to say the least👎👎 - The bristles on the brush stick out in different directions, which also causes breakage at the tips 👎 - When you want to roll out the section, you have to twist the brush in the opposite direction and help with your hands. The hair sticks very well to the brush. I miss it falling off by itself.👎👍 - I haven't experienced burning myself while using it👍 - Lastly, I just have to say that the properties of the brush do not justify the price👎 #LYKOINFLUTESTER

  Shine was it here🤩

  I recently tried the OBH Nordica Bjørn Axén Tools Magic Style Brush PRO 45 mm, and I have to say I like it! I've never used this type of styling brush as I've previously used hot air brushes or similar. I love how it easily glides through the curls and gives a nice volume that I adore (who doesn't though😉)! It heats up quickly and gives a lovely shine, which I would say is my favorite part about the styling brush. I was really surprised at how shiny my hair became from it! I also appreciate that there are different heat settings, which makes it easy to customize the styling to my hair type. Additionally, it's easy to handle and has a long cord, which allows you to style without feeling restricted. I also like that it has an automatic shut-off for extra safety. So if you're looking for a reliable styling brush that delivers great results, this is a very good choice! #OBHNORDICA #BJØRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL #lykoinflutester

  Does its job 🤷‍♀️

  Hair type: thin and wavy In a time where there are advanced hair tools like Dyson and 4-in-1 stylers, this one was a bit disappointing. 😔 It did its job of giving the hair a nice salon fall, but that's pretty much it. 🤷‍♀️ The ionic function that is supposed to provide shine and prevent frizzy hair, I can't say delivered on its points. ⚡ Even after working with the hair for a while, other products will probably have to take care of that problem. What I do like, however, is that the brush doesn't tug, that it has two heat settings, that it doesn't blow hot air, and that it turns off after 30 minutes if you forget to do it yourself. 😊 A heat brush for those who don't need so many functions. ☺️✨ #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Very easy to use and great styling tool!

  I had the honor of testing the Magic Style Brush PRO 30 mm - OBH Nordica x Bjørn Axen. I haven't used many styling tools before, except for the classic flat iron, so this has been a bit of a challenge for me since handling this type of tool isn't in my muscle memory. However, it has been very easy to use anyway, which is greatly appreciated. I have tested this in different ways, more towards the curly side by wrapping the hair around the entire brush, as well as testing to curl the hair only at the ends. I have used curlers in some cases, and in other cases without, and I don't notice any significant difference in using curlers or not. The review below is therefore under the above conditions. 🤭 MY HAIR - Dry and relatively lifeless - Shoulder-length thin hair that gets greasy very easily. - Curly at the base but I believe it's too dry for the natural curls to come through. 🤭 PLUS - Very simple to use - Extra long cord, and it is rotatable so you don't get stuck in the cord. - Two different heat settings. - There is a simpler “comb function” on the side of the heat brush that I appreciated very much. - Can be used in different ways to achieve a more curly or flat result. 🤭 MINUS - Doesn't hold as well on my hair as I had hoped. I've had a really hard time getting the curls or similar to hold for a longer period. I've experimented with different techniques and products before using the tool, but unfortunately, I don't find that it holds better. 🤭 OVERALL IMPRESSIONS I usually don't focus so much on styling my hair since I haven't found it particularly fun to deal with. However, with this brush, I find it more enjoyable since it is such a time-efficient tool to use, while the result is good. The only negative thing I find about this is that the result doesn't last long on my hair. However, I believe it has to do with my hair and not the tool since my hair is generally a bit harder to work with. Overall, I am very satisfied with this heat brush and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a tool that is easy to use. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJØRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Salon-worthy hair!

  I love a really gorgeous blow-out look, but I am completely hopeless when it comes to achieving it with a hair dryer (or even with a Dyson!). I just can't get it right, and that's why Björn Axén's heat brush is absolutely perfect. It's like they say, a hybrid between a curling iron and a round brush. You need to brush through the hair once with the brush to then roll the hair up in it, hold it for a while, and voilà; beautiful “effortless” curls. One tip that I haven't had much time to play with yet is to roll the hair in curlers to let them cool there; that way the curls hold better. It's important not to forget the heat protection, after all, it's a heat tool you're working with. I, who have super curly hair, had to blow-dry my hair until it became relatively flat to then work in the curls. I definitely think you can achieve the curls without this extra step, but for me, it gets a bit too drawn out. I can highly recommend this heat brush, finally, I can rock a little salon hairstyle!! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #OBHNORDICA #BJÖRNAXEN #STYLINGTOOL

  Beautiful Blowout Look!

  I had the honor of testing the Magic Style Brush PRO 45 mm! A really good heat brush with two different heat settings, which gives the hair a really beautiful blowout look 😃! I have medium thick hair, with a lot of hair strands but which are thin Scandinavian. This size of 45 mm fits my long hair perfectly. If you have shorter hair than me, I would recommend one of the smaller sizes. To be able to get nice curled locks with the brush! I have used other heat brushes before, and my trick to make the hair hold all day is to use rollers in the hair after the heat tool. Which should sit for a while while the hair cools down, and I have done the same with the Magic Style Brush for the best results. The hair looks so nice! 😍 #lykoinflutester #OBHNordica #Björnaxen
