Sure, going au naturel when it comes to your strands is a great idea, but there are days when heat styling is just a fact of life. But it doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, hand-burning, hair-damaging fact of life — not with the newest hot styling tools on our radar.
If you’re a girl who loves blowouts, perfect curls or tousled waves, you understand the importance of quality hot tools, and you know that not every hot tool is created equal. But did you know, for example, that there’s a curling iron that will style and dry you hair at the same time, even wrapping your strands around the barrel for you? Or a blowdryer that zaps bacteria in the air?
It’s a new era of hot styling tools. We rounded up the must-have hot tool launches this season. From dryers to flatirons to curling wands, these tools will perfect your heat styling.
