Splurge vs Steal - Hair Tools

splurge vs steal (2).png

Is it worth it? Is there a less expensive option out there?

In some cases both options are great it’s a matter of what you want to spend. Let’s discuss hair tools.


Blow dryers


 

Splurge 

The Dyson! Is it worth it? That’s a lot for a dryer!

I’m going to be honest…. it’s awesome. As a stylist I finish every client 10 minutes faster. That’s a big deal! At home, my blow drys are quicker and shinier. The attachments are so helpful and work great.

The Croc. This is a great dryer! Blow drys efficiently and is gentle on the hair. It’s not cheap but a reasonably priced professional dryer. This was my go to before I stumbled across the dyson. I personally think that the croc is a great buy that is light weight and does the job.

Ok I’m not going to lie. This curling iron is pretty bomb and makes an awesome beach wave. They even have an option where you can switch out the barrel size you you have a 1 inch, 1.25 and 1.5 in one! Pretty cool

Splurge 

Here I go again with Dyson! They make a GREAT product! But do you need it? Honestly unless you have extremely course and curly hair you’re fine with other quality irons

Steal

I have two options. I love both and have used both in the salon and at home. One is more reasonable than the other. I don’t think you want to go too cheap on a flat iron. This is a high heat tool we use on our hair daily and we want as little damage and pulling as possible. I love the croc flat iron but if you wave with your iron the shape isn’t great for it. I would go with the hair art.
