Getting your hair done professionally always feels great, but in this advertising feature from Hairhouse, the message is that for regular styling, it can be more convenient to do it yourself. 

With the right electrical hair tools, you’ll have more control over how your locks look and feel each day.

From managing frizz and cutting down styling time to creating volume or defined waves, these are the hairstyling tools to add to your routine:

Hair dryers that smooth and speed up styling

A good hair dryer should do more than just blow hot air. The right features can dry your hair faster, smooth the cuticle, and leave your style looking polished. 

For thick or long strands, choose a high-wattage dryer with ionic technology. These speed up drying while helping manage frizz. If your hair is fine, look for models with lower heat settings for better control.

After towel-drying, apply heat protectant and section your hair. Use the nozzle to focus the airflow down each strand to flatten the cuticle and boost shine. Reach for a round brush for volume or a paddle brush for a sleeker finish. Finish with the cool shot to help hold the shape and tame flyaways.

Hair straighteners for sleek, frizz-free hair

For smoother, straighter hair with less frizz, having the right hair straightener matters. Choose one with ceramic or titanium plates, which heat evenly and help reduce the risk of heat damage. Go for wide plates if your strands are thick or long. For shorter styles or quick touch-ups, a narrow plate is easier to manage.

Start with dry, tangle-free hair and use a heat protectant before styling. Glide the straightener from roots to ends in small sections, keeping a steady pace without too much pressure. For a softer finish, tilt your wrist slightly at the ends. You can use the same motion to create loose waves if you prefer a more textured look.

Curling tools for long-lasting waves

If your curls fall flat fast, the hair curler and technique could be the reason. Smaller barrels give tighter curls that hold longer. For softer, more relaxed waves, go for a bigger barrel size. Opt for curling wands with interchangeable barrels if you like to switch up your look.

To create long-lasting curls, take a small section, hold the wand upright, and wrap the hair away from your face. Leave the curl cool before touching it so it holds its shape. Once you’re done, run your fingers through to loosen it or finish with a light mist to keep it in place.

Travel-friendly tools for styling on the go

Packing light doesn’t mean giving up on good hair days. With the right travel-sized tools, you can style just as easily as you would at home. 

For quick touch-ups or short styles, mini or cordless straighteners are easy to pack and simple to use. Look for a foldable hair dryer that dries fast without adding bulk to your bag.

Find the right tools for your routine

Choosing the right styling tool comes down to how you want your hair to look and feel every day. Whether it’s saving time, getting longer-lasting results, or just making your routine easier, the right tools can do more of the work for you.
