Essential Styling Tools for Hair

To take better care of our hair there are tools that should be a necessity for our beauty routines. These beauty tools can be used for all hair types whether straight, curly, short, long, relaxed, and natural or colour treated hair. With the use of these tools in our daily hair routine, we can achieve a variety of hairstyles and our hair routine becomes easier. Check out these essential hair tools:

Satin Cap/Bonnet

If you are a natural and love to do wash n’ go one way to maintain this hairstyle during the nights is by wearing a satin bonnet. The satin bonnet helps to keep the hair together and not squish it down during sleep. The satin bonnet also helps the hair to retain moisture much longer.

Satin Pillowcase

Sleeping without head wrap can be harmful to our hair especially if sleeping on a cotton pillowcase. A satin pillowcase helps to retain the moisture in your hair and helps to prevent breakage while we sleep.

Spray Bottle

The spray bottle can be used to refresh any hairstyle. One of the main purposes of a spray bottle is to mix other products/ingredients together to create your own DIY leave in conditioner etc.

Diy Homemade Moisturizer Spritz 

Wide Tooth Comb

Using a wide tooth comb better helps to detangle the hair especially during wash days. I love to use wide teeth comb while I use conditioner in my hair.

Afro Pick Comb

This specially designed comb can be used to add volume to the hair by picking the hair in an outward motion. By ‘picking’ it makes the hair/curls fuller and fresh.

Hair Clips/Hair Claw Clips

Microfiber Towel

Using a microfiber towel helps to dry the hair without the use of heat. I use the Turbie Twist after my wash routine instead of opting for a hairdryer.

Diffuser

Sometimes we wash and style the hair but when it is ready for the take down in the middle or some sections of the hair is still wet/damp while the ends may be still dry. This can be experienced if we use roller sets, do flat twist etc. A diffuser helps to dry the hair from the root to ends without interfering or making a mess of the already done hairstyle. I love to use my diffuser especially after doing a wash n’ go hairstyle.

Denman Brush

The Denman Brush helps to define the hair’s natural curls. I recommended using it during to process of achieving a well-defined curled wash n’ go hairstyle.

Regular Brush

Great for brushing edges in place and helping to lay hair. A toothbrush can also be used as a substitution for laying edges.
