Choosing the Right Hair Dryer

All hair dryers are not created equal. There are variations in motor types, power (wattage), heat settings, and other features such as ceramic and ionic technology. So many different choices can make finding the best one for your hair a formidable challenge. To help take some of the guesswork out, we can help! Click on over to How to Find the Best Hair Dryer for You. You’ll get easy explanations of the diverse options available in hair dryers and you can take The Perfect Hair Dryer quiz to discover some of the best hair dryer choices available from Conair for your specific hair type and preferences.

It is also equipped with Frizz Defense® along with a host of other advanced features that will surprize you. Head over to the product page for more details. 

 

A Great Hairbrush is the Key to Styling Success

Sometimes we take them for granted. A hairbrush is a hairbrush, right? Well, not so, according to hairstylists and regular folks in-the-know. Brush shape, bristle type, handle contour, and materials such as metal, plastic, and wood can all have an impact on the performance of a hairbrush. You’ll find brushes specially designed to increase hair volume and others strategically vented to facilitate efficient blow-drying. Some are great at detangling, others fight frizz and reduce static electricity and a few are designed especially for men.

 

 

They come in every color of the rainbow and there’s even a Rainbow Collection that you’ve got to see! To find out which one would work best for your hairstyling needs, take a look at How to Choose the Best Hairbrush for Your Hair Type. And, the importance of keeping our hairbrushes clean and sanitary can also be taken for granted quite easily. For a quick refresher, click on over to How to Clean a Hairbrush in 3 Easy Steps. Once you find the perfect hairbrush that helps make styling easier and is comfortable to hold, you’ll never take it for granted again.

 

Styling Tools: Curling or Straightening for New Looks

Tired of the same old look? If you’re thinking about changing things up a bit from time to time, other than changing the color of your hair or adding highlights, some easy tricks with a curling iron or hair straightener are a great way to go. If you have curly or wavy hair, a straight style is easy to achieve and you might enjoy what you see. Similarly, for those with straight locks, a curly style or beachy waves might take you by surprise, a pleasant one!

There are many different kinds of styling tools for curling, straightening and even a few for some special effects such as crimping and waving. In addition to the curling iron and straightener, there are curling wands, hot brushes, hot air brushes, hot rollers, auto-curlers such as the Curl Secret®, combo stylers that “do it all,” and more.
 

Here’s an across-the-board overview of styling tools for your particular hair type. If you have thick, hard-to-style hair or you’re thinking about letting your hair grow out naturally and dealing with the challenges that come with natural hairstyling, check out Styling Tools and Tips for Thick Hair and Natural Hairstyles. You’ll discover the temperatures and technologies that might work best for you, and you’ll find some good suggestions for the right tools to help make hairstyling easier. For some additional technical information, you can also tap into Styling Tool Tech for Normal to Thick Hair. For those with thinner, more delicate hair Best Styling Tools and Tips for Fine Hair can give you some helpful guidance on choosing gentle styling tools that help prevent heat damage and excessive drying.

 

The Curling Wand Alternative

There is one styling tool that some prefer. It’s the curling wand. A close cousin to the curling iron, the wand does not have a clamp to hold hair in place. Clamps can sometimes leave a dent or crease in your hair after it’s unwrapped from the iron. With a wand, creases are not an issue. Also, the result you get with a wand, both the straight barrel and the tapered type, is a little different from the curling iron. To find out if a curling wand is for you, click over to Make Hairstyle Magic with a Curling Wand.

 

Auto Curling with the Curl Secret®

One unique twist in the world of styling tools is the Curl Secret® by Conair. It makes curling your hair easy and quick by automatically winding hair sections into a heated chamber for a set time period creating a perfectly formed curl. If you’ve never seen it, check it out!

 

 

Hot Rollers: Easy Curls and Waves with Big Volume

With all the innovative, high-tech styling tools out there, such as irons, wands and hot brushes, you might be wondering where hot rollers fit into the picture. If big volume is high on your wish list, then hot rollers might be your answer. Today, rollers have come a long way with the addition of heat, steam, surface technologies, and easier-to-use clamps and clips that make hairstyling with rollers simple and fast. And, don’t overlook the time advantage that hot rollers can give you. With irons and wands, your hands are constantly busy wrapping, holding, waiting and releasing hair sections one at a time. With hot rollers, you roll up all your sections and while the heat is busy making your curls and waves, you can use your hands for others things like doing your makeup or preparing your clothes. Then, just take the rollers out, brush to style and go.

 

 

Hot roller sets come in a variety of styles and configurations. Some feature rollers in all three sizes­—small, medium and large to create curls of various sizes. There are sets that have jumbo and super-jumbo rollers as big as 2 inches for creating flowing waves. Some sets are portable and compact perfect for travel, while others have special features such as heated clips and ceramic flocked rollers. You can read all about hot rollers in How Hair Rollers Create Hot Hair Styles for Women.

InfinitiPRO by Conair® has taken hot roller technology a step further with the addition of steam. The infusion of warm moisture into the curling process is especially beneficial for dry hair.

 

Go Cordless with Unbound®

Cut the cord and enjoy the freedom of cordless hairstyling. Experience the convenience of creating luxurious curls and waves any time, any place. Achieve beautiful hair styles quickly and easily with the Unbound® Cordless Auto Curler from Conair, the creators of Curl Secret. This high performance curler is rechargeable and offers up to 60-minutes of cord-free runtime.

 

Bejewel Your Hair with Quick Gems

Now you can bling-out your hair in pretty patterns with 30 reusable heart-, circle-, and flower-shaped gems that come in a mix of brilliant pastels with Quick Gems from Conair. The fun is exactly how you remember it: Dial up a gem, section a strand, and press the button to put the party in your hair! These slip-free clips stay locked perfectly in place on every type and texture of hair and easily unsnap, so you can store and reuse them again and again.

 

Going Straight for All Hair Types

When it comes to straightening your naturally curly hair, there are a few options to consider. And, once again, your hair type could be the determining factor. The flat iron is a high temperature styler that is most effective for thick, hard-to-style hair. For thinner, more delicate hair, a little caution is advised to avoid excessive drying and heat damage. Flat irons come with a variety of features including heat settings that help you avoid hot spots and harm to your healthy hair.

 

A gentler option for straightening your hair is the hot brush. The bristles gently extend and stretch curly locks while a heated plate relaxes the bonds that keep hair in a curled state. For those who prefer to style hair while it’s still damp after shampooing, the hot air brush combines the straightening effects of heat with a stream of air to gently remove moisture. If you’re wondering which straightening tool would be best for you, browse through the article Flat Iron, Hot Brush or Hot Air Brush? Making the Right Choice.

InfinitiPRO by Conair® makes an advanced hot air brush called the Spin Air Brush. As the name suggests, this brush features a rotating bristle barrel that you can turn on or off. The spinning motion adds volume and shine to your hair as you style. For a some simple step-by-step instructions, check out In Search of the Best Hair-Dryer Brush.
