Favorite Tools

I have talked about my favorite hair products before and only touched briefly on my favorite hair tools to use.

Brushes
Wet Brush- Wet brushes are my number one go-to hair brush.  They have one that detangles and is awesome for all types of hair. They also have one that is the Wet Brush Shine which is used for blow drying.  The bristles are different and it works great when you blow dry.

Round Brush
Ceramic round brushes are great for curling your hair or straightening your hair durning blow drying. The ceramic pieces heat up and allows for the hair to get a bend in too. These are great for all lengths and textures of hair.

Boar bristle round brushes are a more natural way to help straighten and add shine to your blow out. These bristles grip the hair a little bit more than synthetic bristles.  I find these best for fine haired individuals.

Picking the correct size of round brush is vital to helping you with your style. The bigger the round brush, the more volume and straighter your hair will be. The smaller the round brush, the less volume you will create, but you will have more curl or bend.
I found this guide to help you in your purchase!

• Short hair (chin length and shorter) – Use a small to medium round brush 1″ (25mm) to 1.4″ (35mm)
• Medium hair (chin length to collar bone) – Use a medium round brush 1.4″ (35mm) to 1.7″ (45mm)
• Long hair ( Collar bone length or longer) – Use a medium to large round brush 1.7″ (45mm) to 2.2″ (55mm)

Blowdryers

If you are in the market for some new tools, I hope this helps.  Or maybe add it your list of items you hope to purchase. I will be listing a few that range in price.  You can really spend up to a couple hundred dollars on a blow dryer.  Now I don't think that is necessary. There are plenty of good blow dryers for a decent price

Conair Ionic Turbo Styler-  A great deal for only  $30. It dries hair quickly and leaves hair looking great after a blow dry.

Conair 1875 Watt Cord-Keeper Compact Styler -  If you are limited on space, this a great option.  It has a retractable cord and can fold up.  For only $24.99 this would be one to keep at your cottage or in your camper!

Chi Rocket Dryer - At $124, this is a big jump in price, but for some a hair dryer is an investment.  Chi is a great name brand.  They make solid products that cut hair drying in half.  If you are looking to spend a bit more on a really nice dryer this would be my number one pick!

Babyliss Pro TT Tourmaline 5000 Dyer - $124 - I have not used this dryer, but from everything I have read is that this dryer is extremely efficient cutting drying time in half.  If you have tons of hair that takes forever to dry, this might be the dyer for you.

Curling Irons/Wands

For wands, my absolute favorite and what you see me using almost all the time, is my Nume classic styling wand. I have the 25mm and I love it.  It heats up and cools down quickly.  It makes curls efficiently and they last all day. Follow Nume on social media, so that you can snatch some of their products when they run one of their amazing sales.

Curling Irons - For a long time I have used the Hot Tools curling irons.  Hot Tools makes solid tools. They have a great warranty system and rarely do you need it because these curling irons last forever.  I like to use the 1 inch curling iron.  If you are looking for a versatile tool this would be it. It works for many lengths of hair and textures.  It has heating settings on it so that you can control the temperature.

Straighteners - I don't use my straighteners all that much anymore, but two I would recommend if you are in the market are Nume Fashionista Hair Straighteners and Chi Hair Straighteners.  Both of these brands have a wide variety of straighteners.  I think you would be pleased with any of them.  Find one that is in your budget!

I linked as many to Amazon as I could. The rest I either could not find on Amazon.  Most of the other ones are found on other websites or at your local Ulta.  Ulta runs great deals on tools.  Keep an eye out with the holidays fast approaching for all their specials!
