Women who are prepping their looks for holiday parties can already start experimenting with hair styles now and review their options. Mermaid, half-up, and other types of French braids are popular hair trends for this season. But it can be tricky to pull off these hairdos without proper hairstyling tools or skills. This is why a lot of women visit salons to get their hair done. Fortunately there are styling tools and video tutorials that can help you pull off stylish hairdos at home. Here is a quick rundown of tools that you can use for your holiday hairstyle experiments.
-
- Hair Dryer or Blow Dryer. Next to hairbrushes and combs, a hair dryer is the most basic tool you need in your styling arsenal. Air drying hair takes time and rarely gets you the results you need. At the very least a hair dryer will help you dry hair quickly. But as far as styling is concerned, this tool can help add volume and discipline to your hair. You can also use it to create a more straightened look or add curls with the help of hair brushes.
- Flat Iron or Hair Thong. These hairstyling tools are used to create straight hair that can last all day. As such, women who have natural curls can use this tool and get straightened hair without visiting the salon. Some of the latest flat iron models today have different temperature settings and features that help you get smoother and shinier hair.
- Curling Iron or Curling Wand. Romantic curls are also great hairdos for Christmas Balls. For this hairstyle you’ll need the help of a curling iron or wand. Just like the flat iron it makes use of heat to style your hair. Hairstyling tools like curling irons and wands help you create different types of curls depending on the size of the barrel.
- Crimping Iron. If you’d rather have waves than curls, then a crimping iron is what you need. Unlike the flat surface of the hair thongs, the crimping iron has a zigzag surface. This tool is able to crimp your hair with anything from big soft waves to small tight ones.
