Our Favorite Hair Tools From Dyson, Shark, and More Are on Sale Right Now
We’ve written guides to almost every hair-care tool out there, from blow-dryers to blow-dryer brushes. Along the way, writer Dominique Pariso has tested enough of them — including every Dyson variation — to know that the right curling iron or straightener can really change your at-home styling game. But a good hair tool is often an investment; as much as Pariso loves Dyson, it’s hard to ignore the fact that one toolcosts the same as a month’s supply of groceries, which is why it’s wise to splurge when the tools are on sale and why we’ve compiled a list (below) of all the good stuff currently on offer.

That said, if you do want a Dyson with more bells and whistles, this is a great (and also on-sale) option. Operationally, it’s just as powerful as the original, but with added features — like “attachment learning,” meaning the tool remembers the settings you used last and automatically sets them the next time you turn it on, and sensor technology that lowers the temperature and power of the device as it gets closer to your head — that also make it our favorite hair dryer for sensitive scalps.

Pariso recommends this newer Dyson hair dryer that comes with five magnetic attachments — a diffuser, pro concentrator, flyaway attachment, wide-tooth comb, and a “powerful air attachment” (basically a speed dryer). Weighing less than a pound, it’s better for travel or people who get hair-drying fatigue.

Pariso is a huge fan of the SpeedStyle Pro Flex, which she named the best hair dryer with multiple attachments, for a few reasons: foldability (which she says is a “huge plus for storing and traveling”), multiple attachments that “made styling a breeze,” and enough power to completely dry her (long) hair in just 20 minutes on the lowest heat setting.

Ghd Platinum+ Flat Iron - 1”
Pariso ranked this the best overall flat iron after speaking to numerous hairstylists (including Yene Damtew, Michelle Obama’s hairstylist). It works on a variety of hair types to straighten and create styles like beachy waves. Plus it’s not too heavy.

Another of Pariso’s top flat irons, the extra-wide porcelain ceramic plates are ideal for longer hair. The temperature dial also means you can adjust the heat depending on your hair thickness.

This is the best budget-friendly curling iron, according to Pariso, and now it’s available for even cheaper. Hairstylists love it because it heats up in a few seconds and works well on textured hair.

If your curls always end up frizzy, try switching to this curler. The tourmaline-ceramic plates are designed to lock in moisture, repel humidity, and cut static — all of which help make hair shinier.

After beauty writer Krista Bennett DeMaio gifted this tool to her tween daughter, she was amazed at how easily it transformed her hair. You just slip a section into the top opening, press a button, and the curler does its magic (wraps a piece of hair around an interior chamber). It created long-lasting, bouncy curls for both mother and daughter, regardless of hair length.
