Bathroom Essentials for Flawless Hair: A Buyer’s Guide

There are shampoos, conditioners, and styling products for all types of hair. Finding ones you like is a matter of personal taste and preference. However, there are a few essentials that every woman should have in her bathroom. Flat irons along with hair dryers and curling irons should all be considered must-haves. Keep in mind that it is possible to curl your hair with a flat iron, so you might forego buying a curling iron if you don’t curl your hair very often. Here are some general tips to keep in mind when you’re looking for these important products.

Flat Irons

There are so many flat irons on the market that it can be hard to know which one to choose. Here are three quick tips to help you choose a flat iron that will be right for you.

1. Find out what it’s made of: The best flat irons are made of ceramic and/or tourmaline. A Babyliss flat iron is made of these high quality materials, and will leave your hair looking shiny and conditioned, and result in minimal damage.
2. Choose the size and shape wisely: If you have long or very thick hair, look for a wider flat iron. Smaller flat irons are fine for short dos and very fine hair. If you plan to curl your hair with a flat iron, you’ll need one that has curved plates.
3. Look for adjustable heat: Not all hair is created equal. Stubborn and coarse hair will require more heat, while fine and fragile hair will need less. A Babyliss flat iron will let you choose from a range of heat settings.

Hair Dryers

You might think all hair dryers are created equal, but think again. If you want fast drying time without the damage and dryness, go for an ionic hair dryer. They’re specifically designed to preserve shine, and can dry hair in as little as half the time. And less exposure to heat is always good news, especially if you use a flat iron on a regular basis.

Curling Irons

If you only curl your hair a couple of times a year, you may be better off to just curl your hair with a flat iron. It does take more time and effort, though, so if you love curls and waves, consider a CHI curling iron or another great brand. When you’re choosing your curling iron, pay attention to the barrel size. The smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl. A 1-inch CHI curling iron will give you medium-sized curls, while a 0.5-inch curling iron will give you tight spirals. As with flat irons, you’ll also want to look for a product made of ceramic and/or tourmaline that has an adjustable heat setting.
