Is it just me or is finding a good hair straightener extremely difficult? I can’t tell you how many different models I have gone through since my first one was destroyed by my clumsy roommate. I was absolutely crestfallen by the loss of my CHI ceramic hair straightener. For those of you who are as devoted to hair care as I am, I’m sure you can understand how attached a woman becomes to her hair appliances. Although I could use a blow dryer provided at the gym, I want to use mine and even when my roommate has her straightener already plugged in I will still wait the extra five minutes to plug in my own. I am ashamed to admit that I dedicate more time than I should to the care and keeping of my hair. Long hair comes with sacrifices which I am forced to make. This being said, I have had lots of experience when it comes to blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, and even a dreaded crimper (back in the day). Through extensive research these are my picks for the best hair appliances on the market.

Some straighteners simply glide over the hair, leaving those crimpy in between pieces. This HAI Ceramic Straightener grips the hair leaving every strand silky smooth. I recommend straightening your hair upside down to get added volume.

This Hot Tools 1-1/4 inch curling iron can seriously curl even the most straight hair. The 1-1/4 inch barrel is great for soft, cascading curls.

The power coming out of this Babyliss Pro Super Turbo Blow dryer is simply ridiculous. It dries my hair in half the time! It’s better to use blow dryer with more wind power than heat. I once used a blow dryer that got too hot and it singed off some of my hair. No joke- I can’t wear high pony tails anymore because a random piece of hair sticks out.

Those are my picks for the best hair appliances available on the market. I’m hoping you will enjoy them as much as I do- which I know you will because they are fabulous.
