With the at-home beauty trend rising it’s no surprise it has infiltrated the hair care market. Creating salon-worthy styles from the comfort of home is now an easy feat thanks to the plethora of specialised tools available for taming tresses into creations both simple and elaborate. BD explores the beauty brands catering to hair tools below:
AbsoluteHeat
The must-have in every hairdresser’s kit (and bathroom cupboard) is the hairdryer. AbsoluteHeat’s offering is a lightweight tool that features advanced tourmaline ionic technology to guard against static and frizz. The added bonus is six different airflow and temperature settings to personalise your blow-dry.
For curl-devotees, the conical curler is heralded for its ability to craft natural waves. Philips’ version incorporates a soft touch barrel coating that helps to prevent both the burning of hands and hair. A barrel of 13-25mm ensures natural waves, and a Curl Ready Indicator makes the tool even easier to employ.
Focused on fighting frizz as much as it is on straightening is the VS Sassoon Diamond Shine. The ceramic tool incorporates special diamond radiance technology which promises to leave locks 50 per cent smoother than a typical straightening device.
A hybrid that merges the benefits of a brush and a straightener is Remington’s latest innovation. The contraption infuses its ceramic plates with keratin and argan oil to enhance the high shine of its hairstyles.
A brand renowned for its hairdryers is Parlux. The brand’s classic invention is the 2800 SuperTurbo, which it credits as ‘the little black dress of professional hairdryers’ with four temperatures, and two speeds available to choose from.
For a traditional beauty queen curl, you can’t go past a curling iron. Silver Bullet’s offering embraces titanium to distribute heat evenly and provide a snag-free surface for hair. A spring grip, heat selector and foldaway safety stand accompany the tool.
ghd
A brand famed for its straighteners (and hair tools for that matter) is ghd. The brand’s IV styler is a multipurpose straightener. A curved barrel helps to curl hair as it straightens, with advanced features including a sleep mode – a built-in safety feature which turns the styler off if it is left unattended for 30 minutes.
For all lovers of curls, there is muk Curl Stick The Collection. The handful of curl perfectors helps consumers to craft every kind of curl in the book from soft waves to bouncy spirals. There are six barrels to choose from, each with a titanium finish.
Theorie
Keeping it simple is Theorie with its Classic Hair Straightener. The hair care wand has the ability to heat to 232°C, smoothing and styling locks into place with the incorporation of rounded floating plates.
Dafni
Killing two birds with one stone is the Dafni Go Hair Straightening Ceramic Brush. The invention of a father-daughter duo, the ceramic-based tool is designed for travel, as well as reducing morning beauty routines in half.
