These 5 Styling Tools Will Give You Perfect Hair For Every Summer Event
Whether you’re a bride or a garden party guest, heading on a hen-do or to your honeymoon, these editor-approved tools are key to achieving a chic hairstyle that lasts.
It’s social season – and for many of us that can involve multiple occasions where a hefty focus will be placed on the way we look. From the night-out glam required for a hen do to wedding eve dinner and the big day itself, cameras will be happily snapping away in a bid to capture every last moment of the celebrations. As such, everyone involved will want to look their best at all times. Chances are you’ll have already thought about what you want to wear, which leads us on to the next beauty point to consider: your hair.
With so much to plan for - the weather, the travel arrangements, the outfit - hair can sometimes feel like an afterthought. And while we appreciate that not everyone can afford the luxury of a hair stylist for every big occasion, that shouldn’t stop you from accessorising your look with salon-worthy locks. These days, it has never been easier to DIY impressive hair dos, whether that’s an artful tousled low bun, effortless waves, or a big, bouncy Kate Middleton-inspired blow dry. Providing you’re armed with the right tools, that is.
If you're a bride-to-be on a budget or a guest looking to go the extra mile, high quality hair tools are your secret weapon for creating hairstyles that will have you looking and feeling your best. From affordable everyday heroes like a decent hairdryer (this £79.99 Panasonic one gets our vote) to splurges like the Dyson Coralle Straightener, there’s plenty of state-of-the-art tech designed to make your life easier when it comes to getting dolled up. Certain products – such as the cult-favourite Dyson Airwrap – are no doubt an investment but they’ll also save you money in the long run too, allowing you to take your tresses into your own hands on a regular basis without having to make a trip to the salon for any other special events in your calendar.
