My clients are always asking what the best styling tools are so I thought why not do a blog post on them.
BLOWDRYERS
Currently, I've been using The Buttercup Blow Dryer from the Drybar, and I've been loving it. Not only is it super lightweight, but it has a 9ft cord which is great for hairstylists. The Nanoionic technology is anti-frizz and great for smoothing hair.

BLOWDRYERS
Currently, I've been using The Buttercup Blow Dryer from the Drybar, and I've been loving it. Not only is it super lightweight, but it has a 9ft cord which is great for hairstylists. The Nanoionic technology is anti-frizz and great for smoothing hair.
FLAT IRONS
If you have fine hair, I recommend a CHI flat iron. The Temperature Control Hairstyling Iron is great, I've used this for years and it still works great. They are generally about $99.99, but Ulta always has them on sale, so you could probably get one for around $79 or $89.
If you have thick or curly hair, I recommend The Nano Titanium Prima 3000 Styling Iron by Babyliss. This iron gets up to 465 degrees and can smooth the frizziest curls into straight sleek hair. If you are a hairstylist, this is the only iron you should be using because it is that amazing!
CURLING IRONS
The 3-Day Bender Curling Iron by Drybar is my most used curling iron in the salon. It gives perfect sized curls that last all day. It also has a 9-foot cord like the Buttercup Blow Dryer. I like how even the heat is on the rod, as well as it stays the same temperature the entire time you use it. It will automatically turn off after 30 min, but I will just turn it right back on if I still need it.
If a curling iron with a clip is not for you, then I recommend Paul Mitchel's Express Ion Smooth+ Unclipped 3-in-1 Iron. I use this on clients who want loose beachy waves and it the hair always comes out amazing. It comes with 3 clip in rods, I use the bigger rod that is cone-shaped the most.
HONORABLE MENTION
The Supersonic Hair Dryer by Dyson is what I use at home. I like how quickly it dries my hair, it cuts my getting ready time in half. My hair is smoother when using this dryer, and it is more resistant to humidity so it stays smooth all day. At $399.99 the price tag is a lot more than most would pay for an at-home dryer, but if you have thick, coarse hair then I recommend giving it a try. I do not like to use it in the salon though. It is hard to hold the nozzle when blowdrying and the nozzle often falls off because it is magnetically held on.
Have you tried these styling tools? What do you think works best on your hair?
