HAIR TOOLS SIMPLIFIED

Now I’m the first to admit that I’m talentless when it comes to hair styling, but after years and years of experimenting I feel confident enough to recommend two hair tools that will change your (hair) life. 

For straightening, I have always been a fan of GHDs. They’re the best out there hands down and for Spring they have launched a set of limited edition stylers in Lavender, Periwinkle and Jade. The new shades are for the smaller size straighteners which are personally my favourite (in the past I’ve also had the large ones) because you can then use them for curling your hair too. Aside from being beautiful and the perfect shade of blue, these Periwinkle straighteners are great because they glide effortlessly through the hair and I know they’re going to be sturdy and last through my everyday use. 

For curling I have never really found “the one”. I usually just use GHDs to create some movement in the hair because in the past when I’ve tried tongs I’ve either burnt myself or created funky looking curls that drop after 15 minutes. For those of you who, like me, are not blessed in the hair tonging department then this hair tool will completely amaze you. The Babyliss Perfect Curl is probably the most terrifying hair tool out there. It sucks your hair up into a barrel, spins it, holds it on the heat for your preferred time and then releases “the perfect curl”. There are two products available, a pro version (Perfect Curl) and a consumer version (Curl Secret) with the only difference being a few extra settings to change the direction of the curl. I’ve found using mine on the middle heat for 10 seconds works best and I’m not going to lie, it’s the longest 10 seconds of my life whilst I pray my hair makes it out alive. 

It’s an incredible product that’s worth the price tag and finally I am able to curl my hair, whether it’s properly curled all over or with just a few to add some movement. Life. Changed. 

Do you use either of these tools? Which hair tools do you swear by?
