If you’re anything like me, you need to have one of every
hair tool/styling product out there. I need a curler, a flat iron, a blow dryer, a wide
barreled crimper, and various products ranging from heat protectants, hair masks, frizz fighters, and everything in between. Being a college student, money isn’t
always flowing so I’d prefer to make an investment that will give me the best for my bucks and that will last a long time; with that in mind, I thought I would share a few of my most essential picks!
If I go on a trip anywhere, no
matter how short or long, this guy comes with me. Not only is it slim and
easily packed into a suitcase or duffle bag, but it also creates a wide range
of styles. If I need to travel light and can’t bring my wand, I know I can
count on my iron to achieve curls, waves, or totally flat hair!
If you want the most for your money for the perfect wand, this is where you can find it. This
wand is unique because it comes with 4 barrels in different diameters so you
can have perfect curls of any size. It heats up quickly and is easy to use with
arrows that allow you to select your desired temperature. Plus, it works pretty
quickly, too. It’s a high
quality hair styling tool with ceramic ionic barrels that won't make your poor ends feel
dried out and crusty. Finally, with the interchangeable heads the wand comes
apart and can be easily stowed in a small makeup bag. What more could you want?
This one is a little more expensive, but I
promise it’s worth every penny. As much as I try to reduce styling my hair and
causing heat damage, from sorority socials to philanthropies and work, I find myself having to style my hair every day! Just 20
minutes of this amazing protein masque- it leaves my hair feeling so much more
alive. The only
thing you need to be careful of when using this product is not to leave it in for too long. I tend to leave masques on my hair
longer than necessary to maximize the effect, but with a protein masque too
much protein can have a reverse effect and make your hair brittle. Overall, this product is amazing and it's definitely worth a try!
Every girl needs a blow dryer- Most of us women live life on the go, and many of us
are always in a rush. When I say I’ll be there in 5 minutes, it means I’m still
tugging my iron through my hair one more time and making sure my eyelashes are
evenly coated with mascara. The great thing about the FHI Heat is that it
significantly reduces drying time, even for those of us with very thick hair.
But my absolute favorite part of the FHI Heat is that it comes in pink!
Can you
tell I have a slight obsession with Sedu? You probably will too after you try it! This
treatment acts as a heat protectant, moisturizer, and anti frizzing agent. You
may have heard of putting Argan oil in your hair for moisture and shine- well
this product has it all. I use it before any kind of heat styling, and
sometimes just to reduce frizz. The serum is easy to distribute through your
hair and makes styling a breeze. Additionally, while the bottles aren’t cheap,
one lasts a long time and a little bit of oil goes a long way.
Happy Styling, everyone!
