Must have hair tools every woman should own


Blow-dryer

·        A blow dryer is an essential hair tool. It helps create direction and volume.


·        I like blow-dryers that are 1875 wattage which is about the middle of the line.

·        It’s not too harsh and not too light of an airflow. This is good for all hair textures.

·        You always want a blow-dryer that comes with a variety of attachments.

·        The comb attachment is the most important when wanting the hair to be straight.

·        It helps to straighten hair at about 70 percent and also can direct the hair in the direction you want.

·          This makes it easier for you to flat-iron.

Flat-iron

You can use flat-irons to curl or straighten your hair. They come in a variety of sizes. But, models with a width of one-inch are ideal. This size of flat-irons are great for any length of hair and for any hairstyle.

·        I also recommend flat-irons with curved edges for maximum styling. These help to have a curved edge on your hair ends.

·        Your flat-iron should also have a variety of heat settings.

·        The higher the heat the straighter and glossier your hair will be. However, it does depend on your hair type.

·        If you have fine or thin hair you need to lower the heat.

·        Coarse or curly hair needs higher heat.

·        A person with naturally fine or thin hair doesn’t need too much heat, where as a person with coarse or really curly hair can use more heat to reduce the curl.

Curling-iron

·        A curling-iron is exceptional for volume and beautiful curls for hair at any length.

·        The perfect barrel size is one inch to a inch and a quarter, depending on the length and thickness of your hair.

·        Curling-irons that are about an inch shape curls that are not too long and not too small.

·        Just like flat-irons, it’s very important to choose a curling iron that can reach a variety of temperatures, for your best styling results.

·        Curling-irons should reach up to 430 degrees, anything higher will burn your hair. 430 degrees will create a nice curl.

Combs and brushes

·        Combs- should have wide teeth to comb through wet tangles.

·        Brushes made of boar bristles make your hair smooth and shinny.

·        Never use a brush on wet hair, even when the manufacturer says you can. Doing so, will cause hair to break and split.
