STYLING TOOLS

- BYFUNKEBAB­S-KUFEJI

Every girl, no matter her hair type, needs to have some essential hair styling tools at home. If you’re just starting out, or need some help filling in gaps in your current tool kit, we’re here to help you out

BLOW DRYER & BRUSH

These tools are a must for salon-like smooth hair at home. It adds bounce and shine to your mane and is perfect for when your hair is unruly or needs some body. Whether you have straight or frizzy hair, you cannot live without these tools.

HOT ROLLERS

You’re probably thinking that this is so old school but hear us out. Hot rollers are one of the best hair styling tools for achieving voluminous styles, or they can be used to prep your hair before creating updo hairstyles.

FLAT IRON

You can’t leave your straight hairstyles entirely up to your blowdryer. Flat irons help seal the deal on your sleek styles and can also be used for mid-week touchups.

ELECTRIC HAIR STYLING BRUSHES

These multi-purpose tools can be a real-time and energy saver. You can dry comb, straighten, and texturise your hair all at the same time. The bristles help brush your hair while the heat smoothes your hair.

TAIL COMB

This is essential for creating styles that require clean and precise hair partings. Consider buying tail combs with different tooth sizes. A fine-tooth tail comb can be used for wet styling already detangled hair and a wide tooth tail comb can be used for sectioning and detangling hair.

CURLING IRON

Yes, nowadays we can use a flat iron to curl our hair, but the only reason people opt for this is when they don’t own a curling iron to begin with. Start off with a one-inch sized barrel to create curly hairstyles, like Hollywood curls, and more.

PONYTAIL HOLDERS

If you’re still using a rubber band to secure your ponytails, you’re doing it wrong. Not only will a rubber band snag your hair, it also breaks easily when you keep looping your hair through to achieve your favorite sleek and tight updo style. Make sure you buy a bunch of ponytail holders, we all know that they magically disappear.
