Styling the hair and maintaining it requires the right set of tools. Having these tools will make it easier for you to manage your hair and style it. Sometimes, you may want to experiment with your look at home, and for this, you may try to manipulate the hair in new ways which could damage the hair if the right tools are not used.

Essential tools that you must include in your hairstyling kit
You need to choose good quality hair styling tools that will make it easier for you to style the hair without causing it much damage.

Here are some essential hair tools that you can use to style and care for your hair:

• Hairbrush: A hairbrush is the most basic yet essential tool you need to prepare your hair for styling. A variety of hairbrushes are available with different bristles for different styling purposes. A round brush can be used to add shape and volume to the hair after blow drying it. Brushing your hair regularly will increase blood circulation in the scalp and evenly distribute natural oils produced by the scalp through the hair. It is important to use a good brush because a bad one can damage the hair and scalp.
• Comb: Use a wide-toothed comb with rounded tips as it helps detangle the hair without putting much pressure on it. It is advisable to use the comb when the hair is dry or after applying a conditioner. The comb can be used to evenly distribute the conditioner on the hair and scalp.
• Hairdryer: Use a hairdryer if you want to dry your hair quickly after a shower. You should avoid using a towel to dry the hair because the vigorous rubbing motion can damage the strands. A hairdryer is a much safer option to dry your hair quickly and effectively. Using this device will add shine and volume to the hair, and make it easy to style.
• Flat iron: A flat iron can be used to get straight hair, or waves and curls. Look for a flat iron with ceramic plates because these are gentler on the hair, and do not lead to much moisture loss. It is important to choose a flat iron with adjustable temperature settings because fine hair and coarse hair require different temperatures for straightening.
• Curler: It adds volume to thin, straight hair and can be used to curl hair too. A curler with a large barrel will create softer curls, and small barrels create tighter curls. It is advisable to use a ceramic curler because it provides faster and safer results.
• Hair sprays: Flat irons and curlers will produce a lot of heat, which could damage the hair. You can use a heat protectant spray to prevent heat-related damage. If you are done styling the hair, use a hair spray to set the hair in place for a long time.
