Heatless Curls Set Hair Styling Tool

Heat styling can damage your hair and takes time to do. Instead, invest in a heatless curls flex rods or curling set that sets your curls overnight for full, bouncy hair in the morning. I feel the flex rods are easier to use than the long, curling tube, which can be hard to maneuverer. To learn how to use heatless curl rods,

High-Speed Hair Dryer 

A good hair dryer can speed up your drying time and reduce the amount of time spent heat styling your hair. While the Dyson hair dryer has long been considered the gold standard of hair drying, there are a number of options out there that are just as good and more cost effective.

Hair Perfume

This is definitely an optional item, but if you love great smelling hair, a hair perfume is a must! I wouldn’t suggest this for the workplace (since most are scent-free to avoid irritating other people) but if you want to smell great on a night out, you def need to grab a bottle.

Detangling Brush

Pulling on your hair, especially when it’s wet, to brush or detangle it can cause breakage and frizz. One of the most essential hair styling tools is a good brush, hands down.

Invest in a gentle detangling brush to keep strands from breaking. And remember to always gently brush your hair, especially when it’s wet and at its weakest.

Dermaroller For Hair Growth

Dermarolling, also known as microneedling, is a technique used to stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation. It’s also been touted believed to stimulate hair growth when rolled onto the scalp.  It’s thought that dermarolling can increase blood flow to better deliver nutrients to hair follicles, activates the body’s growth factors, allows for better absorption of scalp treatments (like Minoxidil) and may reduce scalp inflammation that could inhibit hair growth.

Dermarollers must be properly disinfected before and after each use to kill bacteria and avoid infections, so I suggest you read my microneedling post first to under stand how to work and maintain a dermaroller. Also be sure to start with 0.5mm dermarollers and start slow.
