Ah, it’s time on Black Friday and Cyber Monday: an online marathon of crazy sales, and beauty deals that are hotter than the hair guide you forgot to take out. Whether you’re updating your skincare regimen, upgrading your hair tools, or keeping a close eye on that viral product, these live Black Friday deals are too good to miss. I’ve done the hard work for you, scouring the sales for the best—WIRED-approved, of course. Let’s dive into the best hair and beauty deals.
Updated November 29: Black Friday! We’ve added a few new deals and adjusted prices.

No one uses a hair dryer again round brush at home these days; that’s too big admin. The Double Shot Blow Dryer brush dries, smoothes, and styles, leaving you with salon-quality blowouts minus the bicep workout or stylist chat. Editor Adrienne So says she prefers the Double Shot over the original Revlon dryer brush. It’s a splurge, so the best time to grab it would be when it’s on sale.
We’ve reviewed (and endorsed) some of ghd’s hair tools before, and with 30 percent off, this could be a great hair transplant day. The ghd Platinum+ is a smart flat iron that doesn’t really fry your hair. Pre-set to the perfect temperature of 365 degrees, it’s gentle enough for fine hair but strong enough to tame unruly curls.
This i The Dyson Airwrap is a dupe—and I mean that in the best possible way. The Shark FlexStyle packs six tools in one: two curlers that curl automatically, a round brush, a paddle brush, a diffuser, and a straightener. Whether you’re aiming for mermaid waves or a blowout, it brings versatility to all hair types and textures. At $223, it’s still an investment, but it’s a lot easier to justify than Dyson’s eye-watering $600 price tag.
The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the Birkin of hair tools: luxurious, expensive, and everyone and their mother wants one. Normally $600, this Black Friday deal drops it to $500, making the dream feel a little more attainable (hopefully). Plus, with six attachments—two long barrels, two sleek brushes, an interchangeable brush, and a 2-in-1 Coanda blow dryer—it’s like having your own glam squad in a box.
Voted our favorite iron for the easiest hair to straighten in our Best Hair Straighteners guide, this ceramic iron with extra long plates makes short work of fine or wavy strands while adding shine with CeraGloss’ proprietary T3 finish. At $105, this is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen, and it’s truly gifted with its beautiful frosted finish. – Kat Merck
As featured in our Best Hair Straighteners guide, this unique quad-plate straightener impressed our tester with its ability to do two passes in one, as well as its 10 different heat settings. The design makes it difficult to add curls or waves, but for those who just need a straightener and nothing else, this is an amazing steal at over 50 percent off. – Kat Merck
We’re big fans of Olaplex at WIRED, and this shampoo is no exception. It’s cruelty-free, vegan, and formulated without sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. For $21 this Black Friday, it’s a great excuse to grab a bottle or two for yourself and a friend.
Revlon heard our cries and introduced: the Volumizer Plus 2.0 has fixed many of the problems I had with its previous model. It’s smaller, faster, and no longer feels like it was built for a three-armed person. The new medium setting is the Goldilocks of temperatures—not too hot, not too slow, just blasts to perfection in under 15 minutes. The detachable brush also makes portability a non-issue. At $31, it costs less than my caffeine addiction, let alone one visit to Drybar.
Approved by Quiet Mark, an independent organization that tests the noise pollution of household products, this hair dryer even came highly recommended by former WIRED contributor Victoria Woollaston-Webber. It comes with a concentrator and a diffuser. Former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano checked out our guide to the Best Hair Dryers and was impressed with how quiet it was—see for yourself when it was half off for Black Friday. – Kat Merck

There’s a reason Too Faced named this mascara Better Than Sex, and it’s because the confidence it brings transcends any situation. Better Than Sex delivers bold, bouncy, bold lashes that last all day (and night) without flaking or flaking. If you’ve been looking for a mascara that lives up to its name, this one delivers drama in the best possible way—and it’s long-lasting.
Nothing beats a dentist’s whitening treatment, but these pearl strips are a close second. Crest 3D Whitestrips are essential before big interviews, dates, or photo ops. Like Photoshop for your teeth, it’s great to have on hand for impromptu touch-ups. You never know when you’ll need a megawatt smile.
If you haven’t heard of snail mucin, I need to know what rock you’ve been living under. But in all seriousness, this slug syrup isn’t just a TikTok trend—it’s packed with real benefits. To name a few dermatological: it hydrates, smoothes fine lines, and relieves inflammation. For $13, this K-beauty retailer is asking you to jump on the snail train. Consider this your cosmic sign to receive slime.
Thirty dollars is a small price to pay white people. The Sonicare 4100 strips away unnecessary frills, instead focusing on quality features like a pressure sensor, a two-minute timer, and a long-lasting battery (about two weeks on a single charge). It’s gentler than a vibrating toothbrush, and it’s our favorite sonic.
Micellar water removes makeup, removes impurities, and refreshes your face—all without a single wash. Perfect for lazy days or when you need to freshen up after a long flight or workout. When I’m at home, I like to follow Bioderma with a rinse-off cleanser. (I’ve been using COSRX’s Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, and it just so happens to be on sale, too.)
PanOxyl’s 10% benzoyl peroxide wash lasts forever in my shower. It is the strongest option available, so people with sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist and tread lightly. I never use it on my face, but I rely on it to keep my back clean after a sweaty workout. Bacne doesn’t stand a chance.
Hydrocolloid patches are my not-so-hidden breakout-fighting weapon. They shrink pimples, soak up gunk, and prevent you from picking at your skin. Mighty Patch makes transparent stickers, so I buy them in bulk to use throughout the night, or when I’m not trying to make a statement with a bright yellow star on my face. Original Mighty Patches are also free of active ingredients, perfect for active skin.
The Beard Hedger earns its status as the adventurer’s MVP, thanks to its USB-C charging—a feature so obvious, I’m surprised more brands haven’t caught on. The stainless steel teeth and high-RPM motor handle short stubble and beards with ease. It’s not the best, but it’s waterproof.
