Beautiful Hair Must-Haves

Who in the heck plunks down $300 bucks for a hair dryer? Probably the same person who plunks down $240 for a flat iron. That somebody would be me. But then, I’m obsessed with having beautiful hair. Having grown up with way-too-curly hair in way-too-frizzy-humid weather, I’ve had to go to inordinate lengths to make sure my hair would behave. From sitting in front of an air conditioner to style my hair, then running to the car air conditioner to keep it styled, to running inside to wherever my destination was so that it would stay styled, to never going outside, ever, missing the most amazing sunsets and cocktail parties, because, darn it, I’d rather look gorgeous inside than be around gorgeous outside, frizzing up. That’s a heck of a way to spend one’s youth.

Then I met the love of my life. The ghd flat iron. More to the point, the ghd IV Styler. Hello, baby, come to mama! I have no clue why this flat iron is different than other flat irons, but it is. I can straighten my hair and stand in a heavy mist—and even have it rained on to some extent—and my hair still stays straight. And sleek. And lovely. And on days when I’ve gone insane and decided I wanted curls, I can even curl my curls to be tamed and lovely curls with this same flat iron.
I’m the first to cringe at marketing terms, such as “tourmaline-infused ceramic,” but all I can say is that whatever it is that makes these products work, they work!
As an ex-hairstylist, I’ve tried everything, and I’ve never ever ever ever ever recommended a product so highly as the ghd flat iron. Okay… so there I go… off on the ghd flat iron tangent again, and I haven’t even gotten to the Bespoke Labs T3 Evolution Dryer. So, without further ado… it’s fast become my next must-have. Read about it and it will go on and on about all that “tourmaline” stuff, and discuss how it’s “ionized” and has “ceramic” blah de blah. But forget that. What’s important is that it dries the hair faster—really fast. More than twice as fast as a regular dryer. And your hair won’t look frizzy and blow dried. In fact, if you have wavy hair, the Bespoke Labs T3 Evolution Dryer can actually serve as a styling tool, alone, because your hair can look beautifully wavy simply by drying it upside down, then flipping it back and brushing it—and thicker, because the hair has been plumped up by the heat, but sleeker, because something about these products seems to “glue” the hair cuticles in place until the next wash. Another plus is that this is a lightweight blow dryer, and it’s kind of fun to hold. But, as anyone with hair that tends to frizz knows, comfort really is the last thing on our minds. We want great hair at all costs. And here’s the thing—these products might be costly once, but they earn back every penny spent—and then some.
These are guaranteed to give beautiful hair—or I’ll shave mine off!!
