You wanted smoother hair. Not flatter hair.

Your hair is dry. But you still don't feel ready.

You have dried it. Brushed it. Checked the back in the mirror.

Yet the front still sticks out. The ends look fluffy. You run your hand over the same bits again, hoping they will finally sit right.

On Mumsnet, one woman put it like this:

“I feel my hair still just looks like it’s been dried and then left.”

That is the frustrating part. You have made the effort, but your hair still looks unfinished.

You want to look in the mirror, like what you see and get on with your day. Not keep fussing with the same few pieces.

Smoother does not have to mean poker-straight

If straighteners leave your hair flatter than you wanted, you will know the trade-off. The fluff has gone, but so has some of the shape you liked.

Straighteners can create a sleek look. They can also smooth a small section. But if you dislike the pressed finish you get, doing more of the same may not give you what you want.

Perhaps you like your bob. You like the length. You just want the front to sit neatly and the ends to stop looking so fluffy.

You are not after a whole new hairstyle. You want to feel good about the one you have.

You should not need to master a salon blow-dry

A dryer in one hand. A round brush in the other. Then the back of your head, where you cannot see what you are doing.

That takes practice. If it leaves you frustrated, it does not mean you are hopeless at doing your hair.

Once your hair is dry, there is another way to smooth it: a brush that adds heat as you brush.

An ordinary brush can put the strands in place, but stubborn bends and fluffy ends may spring back. Adding heat helps you smooth the section as you work through it.

The difference is simple. You brush through the hair, rather than close two plates around it.

Meet Fenvie Go

Fenvie Go is a portable straightening brush for smoothing dry hair, at home or while you are out.

Smooth the frizz. Fix the bits that stick out. Feel ready to walk out the door.

It brings heat and brushing together, so you can work on the parts that bother you in one brushing action. No dryer in your other hand.

Unlike a hot-air brush, it does not blow air or dry your hair. It is for the next step: turning dry-but-messy hair into a look you feel ready to leave with.

Fix a few pieces. Keep the style you like.

Sometimes it is just the front that needs work. Or the ends on one side that have kicked out again.

Brush through those sections and check the result. There is no need to redo the parts you already like.

That makes a touch-up a small part of getting ready, instead of a reason to start your hair again.

Fine hair does not always mean thin hair, either. You can have fine strands and lots of them. Work in small sections so you can see what needs another pass and what is already done.

Turn the heat down when you need to

You do not have to use the highest setting for every touch-up. Fenvie Go gives you three heat levels, with the selected temperature shown on the screen.

That puts the choice in your hands, whether you are smoothing a few fine pieces at the front or working through more of your hair. Follow the manual when choosing your setting.

Freshen up before dinner, even after a day out

Your plans do not always start at home. Neither should every hair touch-up.

Fenvie Go is small enough to carry in your bag. Charge it before you go, then use it without plugging it in.

Keep it with you for the gap between work and dinner, a weekend away or those days when your hair needs attention long after you left the house.

The battery level is on the screen, so you can check it before you head out.

Let the brush cool before putting it away.

Feel ready when you look in the mirror

The front sits neatly. The ends look smoother. You can stop thinking about your hair and enjoy where you are going.

That is the finish Fenvie Go is designed to help you get, with a brush you can take along for the next touch-up.

One Fenvie Go brush, a charging cable and a user manual come in the box.
