Styling Tools

Hair is one of our most striking physical attributes - scarcely a day goes by when most of us don’t feel the need to do something with it! Hair styling tools are now found in beauty kits everywhere, from hair dryers to curlers to straighteners. But their history goes back a long way! The first electric dryer was invented in 1890, and thousands of years ago, Babylonians used fire-heated iron rods to enhance hair’s look.

Thankfully, nowadays we have heat settings! There are all manner of styling tools available, so that you can achieve curly, wavy or straight hair without having to resort to an open fire. Just be careful to apply a protective spray, oil or other product before using, so that you don’t end up with ancient-style burned locks.

How Can I Get Curls?

Lusciously bouncing, curly locks are the envy of many. For centuries, women have found ingenious ways, from plaiting and knotting when when to tying with rags, to get the look. But now, with the right electronic tool, even the straightest locks can enjoy a bouncy, curly appearance as well! A variety of curling irons are now available, in different shapes, widths and with adjustable settings. There are so many wands available that you’ll be spoilt for choice. What’s more, if you want to adapt your tools, a straightener can be used with the right technique to achieve curls and waves.

What About Straighteners?

Ruler straight hair is now an essential for many people! This style can define and shape the face, plus it offers glossy, sleek and polished perfection. Especially for those whose hair seems untameable, this can be a great way to take control. Look for straighteners with special heat control and protective plates, so that you know you’re not doing untold damage. If tongs aren’t for you, a special straightening brush offers handheld comfort and convenience. Soon, you could be flicking your tresses with the ultimate confidence.

Can I Get A Salon-Worthy Blow Dry At Home?

Definitely! Hair dryers have been around forever, but they now come with a variety of attachments, so that you can style your hair as you like at home. Diffusers are ideal for curls - although they may look a little tricky, all you need do is drop your hair onto its prongs and dry gently on a low heat. For straight hair or waves, a narrow nozzle attachment can focus hair into a narrow beam, that intensively styles locks. Take a look at naturally based products like Argan Oil, so that you can nourish your hair before turning up the heat.

If you want to style your hair at home, all the tools are ready and waiting for you! Whether you want cute curls, stunning straights or wonderful waves, you can get a salon look without needing to step out the front door.
