Best beauty deals for Black Friday Cyber Monday 2023: Offers on GHD, Dyson Airwrap, Aesop, electric toothbrushes and Medik8

The leaves are changing, and temperatures have plummeted and for us, that means one thing. No, not Christmas. Something even better.

Bargain hunters everywhere can rejoice as Black Friday is here. The ultimate discount event gets bigger and better every year and if you thought it was just tech on offer, we’re happy to tell you that you’re sorely mistaken.

Find the best deals in our Live Blog here

While for many years, Black Friday and certainly Cyber Monday was synonymous with discounts across TVs, laptops, headphones and smartwatches (and you will find them dramatically reduced), it’s elsewhere that the real fun begins.

We’re talking specifically about beauty discounts (as well as fashion, furniture and air fryers). It is Black Friday, and Black Friday alone when some of our favourite skincare, makeup, hair and fragrances are massively reduced and this is your official sign to stock up your bathroom cabinet.

With the likes of Glossier, La Mer, ghd, Oral-B and more all getting in on the discount action, there is never a better time to upgrade your beauty gadgets as well as scoop up the products you use on a daily basis for a fraction of the cost.

The beauty deals are below

Olaplex

If you don’t already know the name Olaplex, then you have come to the right place. The brand is best-known and beloved for its in-salon range but offers an at-home variation that packs an impressive hair-strengthening punch.

The product line may look minimalistic in appearance but features a patented active ingredient that works on a molecular level to repair broken bonds that may have been caused by colouring, heat or mechanical damage.

The range - all of which are numbered for foolproof application - consists of No.0 Intensive Bond Treatment, No.3 Hair Perfector, No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No.5 Conditioner, No. 6 Bond Smoother and No.7 Bonding Oil that work together or alone to rebuild wear and tear.

No.0 - the newest addition - primes your hair for an even more intensive restorative process with the highest dose of the Olaplex technology in the at-home range. Apply to dry hair and saturate. After 10 minutes apply No.3. The Hair Perfector, which should be left on for an additional 10 minutes and rebuilds damaged bonds. Follow this with the shampoo, conditioner and then leave-on No.6 Bond Smoother that tackles frizz and dehydration and offers further protection from colouring, styling and environmental aggressors. Last but not least, the Bonding Oil helps with the styling process. Apply to damp or dry hair for taming and defrizzing effects as well as a healthy sheen.

Given the seal of approval by stylists, celebrities and those in the know, these are products you can rely on to repair your hair to its crowning glory.
