Best for soft waves
If you’re a wavy-hair aficionado, this heat tool is going to be your jam. The iron features an ergonomic design and a 1.25-inch tourmaline-and-ceramic barrel. What sets this product apart from other appliances is its gyroscopic technology that senses the movement of your hand. Translation: It automatically rotates in the desired direction with a slight flick of your wrist. Hello, Gisele-worthy waves!

Best for quick blow-drying
This professional-quality blow-dryer gets the job done—fast. Designed for use by blowout artists at Drybar, the popular American hairstyling chain, this model uses negative-ion technology to close hair cuticles, reducing frizz and amping up shine. It comes with two attachments: a concentrator nozzle, which helps smooth down bangs, coarse hairs and flyaways; and a diffuser nozzle, which distributes airflow across a larger section of hair, helping to speeddrying time—perfect for long, thick hair.

Best for creating body and waves
Old-school curlers create bouncy, full, glamorous waves that are timeless. This set of ionic hot rollers helps reduce static and frizz while boosting shine. For a more modern effect, try wrapping sections of hair around the curler, rather than the traditional technique of winding hair from ends to root.

Best for straightening long, thick hair
If your hair is unruly and doesn’t like to walk a straight line, then this flatiron may be a worthy investment. Silicone speed strips allow it to heat up to 205 C. in a flash, while Nanoionic ceramic plates add shine. Also suitable for fine hair, the iron features an adjustable temperature control to customize your heat.

Best for sculpting curls
The temperature control—which heats to up to 210 C—allows this tool to play nice with all hair types. The clamp-less rod lends hair alooser curl compared to the tight spiral "prom" curls created by traditional clamping curlers. The wand also features a 360-degree swivel cord, and it comes with a heat-resistant glove to protect your hand.
