Tools of the Hair Trade

Using the right tools in any trade makes a world of difference. In the hair industry, using the right tools will ultimately give the most desirable end result. It can make a huge difference between a hair disaster and a flawless haute-couture hair show.

Don’t worry having the right tools aren’t reserved just for those in the hair industry. These tools of the hair trade are easily found in your local beauty supply stores.

Brushes and Combs...

  • Paddle Brush – Best used with long hair and straightening curly hair. To protect your hair from unnecessary damage, look for a Paddle Brush that have a rubber base and bristles that are made from nylon or a natural material.
  • Round Brush – Very universal brush. Use it to flip out your hair, role it under, or while blow-drying, you can use a Round Brush to help create volume. Round Brushes that are made with natural bristles are gentler on your beautiful hair and will help keep your locks as healthy and strong as possible.
  • Vent Brush – The specific design of the Vent Brush adds volume to any hair type while blow-drying by allowing air to pass through the brush.
  • Wide-Tooth Comb – The good old’ fashioned Wide-Tooth Comb. This brush is your best friend when you need to de-tangle your hair. If your hair is weak, this comb is great because the wide teeth minimize damage while having to necessarily comb your hair.

Hair accessories are time savers. Whether you’re in a rush and don’t have time to style your hair, hair accessories can save the day. Such as...

  • Hair Clips
  • Barrettes
  • Hair Pins
  • Hair Bands

A spray bottle is a very handy tool that you want on hand at all times. It will help with those problematic areas. When just a spritz of water will do, there’s nothing better than a spray bottle. The bottle doesn’t have to be fancy any bottle will do the trick just fine.

Heating Tools...

  • Blow dryer – You can call it a magic wand! A blow dryer can help transform you hair from bleak to chic. Use it to dry and style, style and make magic appear.
  • Curling iron – To get those curly, bouncy curls, a solid stainless steel curling iron is exactly what you need.
  • Flatiron – Whenever you see that hair that’s silky smooth and pin straight, 9 times out of 10 a flatiron was used to achieve such a flawless look. The flatiron is the perfect tool to finish off your style. Giving your hair that sexy runway look.

Whatever tool you decide to use, remember there’re no rules just suggestions. Get creative and go for it. Unleash that inner diva that’s burning inside.
