If you could only pick one, between wearing makeup or styling our hair every day, which one would you pick?! Well in the scenario where we choose styling our hair, we would want to make sure we are prepared with the best hair tools out there. To achieve everything from pin straight to bouncy curls and the occasional beach wave, these are the best hair styling tools on the market. We have tested and vetted them, so we promise they are worth it if they cost a pretty penny (or not!!) and will help you take your hairstyles to the next level!
1. T3 Micro Interchangeable Barrel Curling Iron
Our T3 curling iron with interchangeable barrels might be our favorite curler of all time. It is so easy to use and great if you want to the option of loose waves, big curls, or even tighter curls depending on the day.
2. Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is beyond innovative. We have had the pleasure of using it and not only does it dry your hair quickly with controlled airflow, but it makes your hair ultra soft. This is definitely a splurge, but also totally worth it!
3 & 4. Kristin Ess Wide Tooth Comb & Kristin Ess 3 in 1 Flat Iron
Our obsession with Kristin Ess products continues with her styling tools. We are loving her 3 in 1 flat iron as well as the wide tooth detangling comb. You can use this comb in the shower to really get your hair feeling smooth and healthy. And if you are looking for a new flat iron then we recommend the 3 in 1!
If your goal is to get effortlessly sexy beach waves (as seen in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show) then The Beachwaver is the way to go. Celebrity hairstylist, Sarah Potempo, knew what she was doing when she invented this awesome rotating curling tool. It takes the work out of curling thanks to a push button that automatically twists the clamped hair and produces perfect waves every time.
Volume is in! If you are going for the natural but full look, then Drybar’s teasing brush will totally help you out. When styling your hair in a cute updo or just giving your hair a little pick-me-up, the teasing brush is so easy to use!
Speaking of Drybar… their sectioning clips are so helpful, especially when we are trying to blow dry our hair or need to section parts off when styling. They solve our biggest frustration with sectioning clips–when they don’t hold enough hair– and thus, will definitely make your life easier. And the punchy yellow makes them easy to find in your drawers/toiletry kit!
8. Eva NYC Pink Ice Mini Healthy Heat Pro-Power Dryer
Who knew one of the best hair styling tools on the market could come in such a small (and cute) package. If you are always on the go and travel is your middle name, then you should invest in the Eva NYC mini hair dryer. And by invest, we mean a bang-for-your-buck $48. It has great power (like, incredible for its size) and we never go on vacation without it!
9. Hot Tools Tapered Curling Wand
Looking for a good wand? Hot Tools (our forever favorite budget friendly curling iron brand) created an awesome one with a tapered end to make curling your hair easy. It creates luscious curls that actually last.
If you don’t have the wet brush then you should bump this to the top of your priority list. It is phenomenal for detangling wet or dry hair without pulling, tugging, or snagging. Also, did we mention it is great for all hair types, curly or straight? We will never go without it again…
Amber Fillerup does it again with her Barefoot Blonde UP. To add more thickness to your pony, braids, top knots, or any other hairdo for that matter, you should really give this one clip weft a try and let us know what you think!
12. Eva NYC Healthy Heat Thermal Straightening Brush
Looking for a brush that does it all? Eliminate the middle man with this thermal straightening brush. Ideal for creating smooth, straight styles.
