Products matter—but pro-quality tools take your results to the next level.
Hair Dryers

✨ Tools to Consider:
Curling Irons & Wands
Choose barrel size based on the curl you want:
Large barrels = loose waves
Small barrels = tight curls

I prefer a 1inch barrel as my hair is straight and does not hold curl well and a curling iron that heats up to 450 Degrees F
Flat Irons
Ceramic plates and adjustable heat help protect your hair while creating sleek or wavy looks.

Round Brushes
Perfect for blowouts—large for volume, small for curls.
