The Best Black Friday Beauty and Hair Deals

Ah, it’s time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday: an online marathon of mad sales, and the beauty deals are hotter than the hair straightener you forgot to unplug. Whether you’re updating your skincare regimen, upgrading your hair tools, or finally caving on that viral product, these live Black Friday deals are too good to miss. I’ve done the heavy lifting for you, scouring through the sales to find the absolute best—WIRED-approved, of course. Let’s dive into the best hair and beauty deals.

WIRED Featured Deals

Hair Styling Deals

This is the Dyson Airwrap dupe—and I mean that in the best way possible. The Shark FlexStyle packs six tools in one: two auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush, a paddle brush, a diffuser, and a concentrator. Whether you’re aiming for mermaid waves or a blowout, it delivers versatility for all hair types and textures. At $216, it’s still an investment, but it’s far easier to justify than the 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 trims it to $500, which makes the dream feel just a bit more attainable (she says hopefully). Plus, with six attachments—two long barrels, two smoothing brushes, a volumizing brush, and a 2-in-1 Coanda dryer—it’s like having your own glam team in a box.

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. At $21 this Black Friday, it’s the ultimate excuse to snag a bottle or two for yourself and a friend.

Revlon heard our cries and delivered: the Volumizer Plus 2.0 has fixed most of the issues I had with its earlier model. It’s smaller, speedier, and no longer feels like it was designed for someone with three arms. The new medium setting is the Goldilocks of temperatures—not too hot, not too weak, just voluminous blowout 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 a single Drybar visit.

Face and Body Deals

If you haven’t heard about snail mucin yet, I need to know what rock you’re 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 ones: it hydrates, smoothes fine lines, and calms inflammation. At $13, this K-beauty bestseller is practically begging you to jump on the snail train. Consider this your cosmic sign to embrace the slime.

Thirty dollars is a small price to pay for pearly whites. The Sonicare 4100 strips away the unnecessary embellishments, focusing instead 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 an oscillating toothbrush, and it’s our favorite sonic one.

Micellar water removes makeup, clears impurities, and refreshes your face—all without a single rinse. It’s 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 up 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 is a permanent resident in my shower. It’s the strongest over-the-counter option available, so sensitive skin folks should consult a dermatologist and tread lightly. I don’t dare use it on my face, but I rely on it to keep my back clear after sweaty workouts. Bacne doesn’t stand a chance.

Hydrocolloid patches are my not-so-secret weapon for taming breakouts. They shrink pimples, soak up gunk, and keep you from picking at your skin. Mighty Patch makes transparent stickers, so I buy them in bulk to use overnight, or when I’m not trying to make a statement with a bright yellow star on my face. The Original Mighty Patches also don’t contain any active ingredients, which is ideal for reactive skin.

The Beard Hedger earns its status as the traveler’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 stubble and shorter beards with ease. Not the prettiest, but it’s waterproof.
