For salon-worthy results achieved in the comfort of your own home, these styling tools take the cake.

1/5
Dyson
Supersonic, RM1799 (via Sephora)

Sick of getting your hair pulled through your regular hair dryer? Want to achieve soft and manageable tresses without the frizzy flyaways? Dyson has reinvented the hair dryer and replaced it with a luxury product worth every penny. The Dyson Supersonic provides controlled, high-velocity airflow for an ultra-fast drying experience. At the same time it also stimulates natural drying to reduce frizz and damage done to the cuticles.
2/5
Panasonic
EH-NA65 nanoe™ Hair Dryer, RM489 (via Harvey Norman)
This powerful 2000-watt hair dryer has the ability to draw moisture from the air using Panasonic’s nanoe™ technology, allowing it to infuse 1000x more moisture particles into the hair, leaving you with healthier-looking locks with minimal frizz.
3/5
Philips
HP8280/03 MoistureProtect Dryer, RM449 (via Philips)

This 6-speed, 2300-watt hair dryer preserves your hair’s natural hydration by conditioning ions to eliminate static in the airflow. This results in smoother and less frizzy hair with a glossier appearance. Its innovative MoistureProtect Sensor is able to measure your hair’s temperature and automatically lowers the heat accordingly, so you don’t end up overheating your hair.
4/5
Drybar
3-Day Bender Digital Curling Iron, approx. RM600 (via Ulta)

Having trouble achieving uniform curls? Drybar’s rotating curling iron will do the trick. With NanoIonic technology, infrared energy, and dual BioCeramic heaters, the product quickly and easily curls hair and improves its condition at the same time. The rotating barrel definitely helps to keep those arm muscle aches at bay, too!
5/5
Panasonic
EH-HS95-K Hair Straightener, RM475 (via Harvey Norman)

This straightener comes with 5 heat settings to help you achieve your desired hair style. Incorporating Panasonic’s nanoe™ technology to provide additional moisture to your hair as it passes through the ceramic plates, you will be left with beautiful results that last.

We all crave bouncy, healthy-looking hair that lasts all day long. No matter what type of hair you have or desire – curled, wavy, straight – we just want it to be tamable and frizz-free, traits that can sometimes be compromised by the harsh and unforgiving heat from your styling tools.

It’s important to realise that the quality of your hair tools will affect the health of your hair. There are plenty of products out there that range from cheap to mid-range to extremely pricey. If you don’t do your research before purchasing something, you might end up regretting your choice (and paying a big sum for it).

Not to worry, we’ve done some digging around for you and we have unearthed some of the most impressive hair styling tools out in the market at the moment. Head up to the gallery to check out our round-up of the cream of the crop.
