Hair Styling Tools

I was going through the cupboard under my bathroom sink recently as it seemed to be getting more and more cluttered.  When I finally reached the back of the cupboard I found an old brush iron tucked in the corner with the cord wrapped around it.  It looked ancient and if I had to guess, it had to be at least 10 to 15 years old.  In fact, when I looked at the manufacturer I didn’t even recognize the name.  To satisfy my curiosity I plugged it in and I couldn’t believe that it still worked.  Then I tried to remember why I stopped using it and that set me hunting on the internet to see if brush irons are still being sold.  

Yes, brush irons still exist and one of the more popular brands being sold is made by Helen of Troy and Hot Tools.  For those of you who have never tried one, let me tell you that this hair styling tool was a life saver for me.  I never could get the hang of using the curling iron.  For whatever reason I kept getting creases in my hair and finally gave up.  I happened to be at a beauty supply store one day and was complaining to the sales clerk about my curling iron issues when she asked if I had ever tried a brush iron.  She demonstrated the use of one and that was all she wrote.  I was sold and used that appliance for years.

The nice thing about a brush iron is that after you dry your  hair, you just curl each section of your hair around the brush iron just as you would if you were using a curling iron.  The only difference for me was that I was ending up with the style I wanted and not a head full of creases.  Brush irons are so easy to use and take no time at all.  So…..if you are looking for something that is extremely affordable and easy to use, the brush iron may be just right for you.  It comes in an assortment of sizes and they are so relatively inexpensive, you may just want to buy a couple in different sizes to use for different styles.
