Keep your Coiffure in Perfect Shape with Hot Tools

Hot tools are one of the best ways to keep your hair style in shape. They are your best weapons in the battle against the elements, heat and humidity.

They are also the best way to correct Mother Nature. If you have little to no volume and limp, flat hair, then hot tools can change all that. Just plug them in, get
them hot and let them style your hair.

Different tools will have different effects on your tresses. Professionals know what to use to achieve the desired effect, but you can get a clue, too.

Flat Irons

At the top of the line is the Helix Cord / Cordless Flat Iron. If you are at the office, trying to spruce up for an after-work date, you can break out this flat iron
to get ready. Just plug it in, set your hair and go.

Or, if you’re camping over the weekend, you can still enjoy straight hair. No electricity necessary. It comes with two battery packs. You can recharge one while using
the other.

The Tourmaline CeramicTi surface produces negative ions and far-infrared heat. You’ll get a nice shine, reduced frizz and you can improve the hydration in your hair.
The Helix heats up to 430 degrees. 

The Helix comes with a recharging stand and adaptor, a car adaptor for on-the-go recharging, one-hour battery life and two-hour recharging time. Plug it in and when it
is recharged, the light will blink. The Helix also comes with a super travel bag.

Hair Dryers

Talk about professional styling tools. The Hot Tools Tourmaline Roller Hair Dryer will give you a thorough, professional hair set. It’s like the hair dryer your mother
sat under at the salon, but this one can be used in the privacy of your home.

The ionic 1875-watt roll-around dryer comes with a pro-moisture system to enrich your hair while it dries. In fact, it actually changes the dryer’s effect on your
hair. Instead of blasting it dry, it lets the heat and the airflow enrich and moisturize your hair. The tourmaline nano particles generate infrared energy when heated.
The heat passes through the hair cuticle and goes straight to the cortex to dry it first. The result is less brittle hair that is softer and has more shine.

The two-speed dryer has four heat options. The large bonnet is able to accommodate even the largest hair rollers. Worried about the dryer rolling away? It has two
lockable wheels for stability and a 9-foot cord.

Curling Irons

Want to add some curl to your locks? Get a good curling iron, like the Hot Tools Ceramic Tourmaline Spring Curling Iron 2. You will find that the ceramic infrared heat
actually helps to preserve the hair’s natural moisture. This curling iron has a soft-grip, textured handle so you can keep a good hold on it. It heats up to 430
degrees, but also has variable heat settings with a built-in rheostat control. It heats up fast and gets extra hot. It comes with a fold-away safety stand and an 8-
foot swivel cord.

Hot Air Brushes and Brush Irons

Want to use something other than a curling iron on your hair? Consider a hot air brush for much the same effect. The Hot Tools Ceramic Tourmaline Hot Air Brush has
retractable bristles, so you can avoid unwanted knots. Grab the hair with the bristles, set the curl and then retract the bristles for easy-curl release. The barrel is
1¼ inches, for a soft, bouncy curl. The brush has high and low settings, as well as a cool shot to set the curl.

Hot Rollers and Hair Setters

If you have a full head of hair, you may need a bigger set of hot rollers to set your style. The Hot Tools Ionic Hair Setter comes with 20 flocked rollers made with a
wax core and ionic technology. Don’t know what that means? It means the ion generator produces negative ions, which help to condition your hair and reduce the frizz.
The wax core releases the heat, slowly and evenly. It helps the roller hold the heat. The velvet-flocked rollers come in three sizes so you can achieve the right look:

·         6 large 1¼-inch rollers help create loose, soft curls and volume
·         8 medium 1-inch rollers will form smaller curls and waves
·         6 small ¾-inch rollers will create defined curls – almost ringlets

The curlers heat up quickly, but even once they are hot, the flocked curlers are cool to the touch, and they easy grab and hold your hair. The set comes with 20 easy-
to-use butterfly clips that hold the hot rollers securely in place.

If you have your heart set on a certain style – whether straight or curly – be sure to use the right Hot Tools to get the desired effect.
