Our verdict on this BaByliss Smooth Finish 1200 hot air brush
Review written by the Aura Capillaire team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have read buyers’ feedback on this BaByliss Smooth Finish 1200 hot air brush to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
The strengths
- A quick blow-dry at home, with the feeling of stepping out of the hairdresser’s for several users.
- Four attachments to vary your styles: volume, smoothing, short or long hair.
- Anti-frizz ionic technology, with a ceramic coating for soft hair.
- A 3-year guarantee: for everyday use.
Good to know
- A noisy appliance: several people find it very loud, especially early in the morning. If the noise bothers you, start on the lowest speed.
- Attachments to choose to suit your hair: not all of them suit every hair type: the large brush is for long hair, the small ones for short hair. Try each attachment to find yours, and check that they are all in the box.
Where we lean: for a smooth or voluminous blow-dry without juggling a hair dryer and a brush, this is a complete, well-equipped 4-in-1. If you want a brush that turns on its own, the Remington Keratin Protect rotating brush below is another option. To compare other models, browse our hot air brushes.
