My Ride or Die Hot Tools

I have a confession… I CAN NOT live without my hot tools. It’s bad, but its true. However, there are so many options to choose from! Let me break down all of my ride or die hot tools that have changed my life.

t3 1 Inch Wand- I love this wand because it gives me beautiful lived in beach waves that last all day long. The one inch barrel allows me to easily twist my hair around the wand without the hassle of the clamp. Because it is a wand, you can avoid the awkward crimp that sometimes happens with a clamp on a curling iron. My favorite product to pair with this tool is Kenra Texturizing Spray because it protects against heat and it gives your hair some grit to hold the texture.

Bionic Flat Iron- Even though I love a textured look, sometimes sleek is the way to go. To achieve the ultimate polished look, my go-to is always the Bionic Flat Iron. This tool effortlessly smooths out my hair and locks in moisture. My favorite product to pair with this tool is Olaplex No. 7, because of the heat protectant within the product and how shiny it makes my hair.

BaByliss Curling Iron– To achieve effortless curls, a 1 1/2 inch barrel by BaByliss is the ideal option. The barrel is huge, so it will create loose curls and waves. This iron has SolGel technology, so it makes the barrel stronger and smoother. My favorite product to pair with this is Kenra Professional Thermal Styling Spray because it protects my hair while giving it a little hold.

Dyson Blowdryer- UMM can you say holy grail?? …and a little louder for the ladies in the back. This dryer is not only lightweight, but it cuts your drying time in half. It does not use extreme heat on your hair, so it is very gentle. The Dyson Blowdryer comes with multiple attachments that help increase smoothness and shine. My favorite product to pair this with is Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray.
