Our Must-Have Styling Tools
We know that sometimes shopping for hair tools can feel like a vicious cycle of not knowing which one to purchase. With your hairstylist recommendations and your best friend raving about her holy grail tool, it can get confusing as to which one is the most suitable for you. So before we get into our must have styling tools, lets just go through a quick break down of some commonly used words associated with both curling irons and flat irons. This way, we can have a better understanding between the different kinds!
Ceramic: With ceramic, the optimal temperature is reached quickly and produces an even amount of heat throughout the plates. It is definitely gentler on the hair as opposed to traditional metal plated styling tools.
Tourmaline: Having a hot tool with tourmaline in it will help the hot tool heat up rather quickly. Tourmaline is made of a crystal that gets grounded into dust and then applied to the plates of a straightening iron. It also emits negative ions which results in smooth, shiny hair.
Titanium: Titanium is usually found in more high-end styling tools. It heats up way faster than ceramic plates and will hold a high heat at a steady temperature. It is also very lightweight!
Gold: Many hot tools are gold plated (typically 24k), which simply means that they get hot quick and stay hot. It maintains a constant and even heat while you style!
So, if you’re looking for something durable and high quality… make sure you’re looking at what it is made with and that you’re always looking for hot tools with one of the words mentioned above! Okay, let’s jump right into our favorites!
