Australian women are enlisting the help of an award-winning steam-infused straightener to get their hair poker straight with just one swipe - and it's a 'dupe' for a popular $330 device.

The VS Sassoon Steam Straight Brilliance, which retails for $199, is fast-becoming the go-to tool for ladies wanting shiny locks with minimal fuss - and without spending a fortune at the hair salon.

It's a perfect replica of the L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod 3.0 - which retails for $330 at Adore Beauty - but with the added benefit of being Beauty Heaven's Best New Hair Tool of 2022. 

Makeup artist Michael Brown, who tested the VS Sassoon straightener in January, remarked that it creates a 'softer, smoother finish with way less damage'

Makeup artist Michael Brown, who tested the VS Sassoon straightener in January, remarked that it creates a 'softer, smoother finish with way less damage'.

'This VS Sassoon one still has wide ceramic plates that heat up to different temperature settings but the option of steam is there, which I tend to love to use, as it literally creates super sleek, shiny hair,' he said.

'Not that fried dull look general straighteners give.'

The device uses the latest Vapour Infusion Technology that uses steam to actually hydrate while it straightens frizzy, curly and coarse hair, with straight-in-one-pass results proven to last up to 24 hours.

A whopping 96.8 per cent of women agree that their hair felt softer, more hydrated and less frizzy after using the straightener.

BEFORE: The straightener works to tame even the most frizzy and thick strands

AFTER: You'll be left with sleek locks in next to no time at all

'Great price, prompt delivery and product does what it says,' one woman wrote online about the beauty tool.

'Straightened my curly and frizzy hair so quickly and easily! I love it! Huge time saver and so worth the price tag,' said another.

A third added: 'Easy to use, great for thick hair. I have damaged hair and this straightener gave it shine and made it really smooth'.

It can be purchased from Myer and David Jones.
