Hair Stylers and the Different Brands
Take a visit to your local beauticians or hair salon and you will see stylish women of all ages having their hair straightened. Made popular by the likes of Jennifer Aniston everyone is seeking the glamorous and sleek effect it can give. You don’t have to visit a beauty salon to achieve the look you want however. There are many hair stylers on the market today that can get you the same look at home and save you money.
Women have been straightening their hair for decades and it is far from a new concept. In the 60’s they would place a sheet of brown paper between a hot clothes iron and their hair, to prevent it from burning, and proceed to ‘iron’ their hair. A bizarre practice but it achieved the look desired. This was continued until the first hair stylers entered the market and saved a lot of women time and damage to their hair.
Look in any hair products or high street beauty store and you will find all types and brands of hair stylers to choose from. The most difficult thing to do these days is to choose the one that suits your needs.
There are many styling tools out there that won’t damage or burn your hair. Use a heat protection product on your hair before applying the heat stylers, as this can protect against damage to your scalp as well as your hair. When selecting your hair stylers look for ones that have advanced infra-red heat as this actually protects hair by sealing in the colour and its natural oils.
One of the leading brands today is GHD, who are well known for their celebrity following. Recommended by Cosmo and often featured in the fashion press, they are linked with the beautiful locks of film stars, such as Cameron Diaz, Madonna and Sienna Miller. GHD stylers can smooth hair or create curls, flicks and waves. Most of their straightening products can be used on dry hair and produce a sleek and chic look. Their products are lightweight and heat up quickly and how much you pay for one will depend on your needs and budget. In 2006, GHD wanted to make a contribution to Breakthrough Breast Cancer so brought out a limited number of Pink stylers which sold out in a record number of weeks.
