Hair Tools Most Loved By Expert Stylists

The Tool Science hair dryer comes with a direct air attachment and diffuser. This has been the best blow dryer I have ever brought. It heats to 450 degrees to tackle coarse hair, but it also has three temperature settings and three air settings (which adjust how forceful the air is), for finer or weaker hair that can’t take that much heat. There’s also a cool shot button for no heat at all. Definitely a must-buy. I purchased mine from Sally Beauty.

Flat irons

Sedu Revolution Styling Iron

This is a ceramic iron with black tourmaline gemstones that help to distribute and transfer heat evenly. What I love most about this flatiron is that I can easily curl or straighten hair with it.

Izutech Titanium Flat Iron

This affordable iron leaves the hair extremely shiny and smooth, preserves moisture within the hair shaft and the plates do not snag or pull on the hair.

BabyBliss Pro Titanium Flat Iron

Not only is it a easy to hold with its small handle and tangle-free cord, its smooth-finished, titanium plates evenly heat the hair in one swipe— creating less heat damage and an even lighter, bouncier hair flow.
