Get The Red Carpet Look This Wedding Season With 10 LBB-Recommended Hair Tools

Don't just think of a flat iron when you want sleek, straight hair. Sure, that is what the tool is designed for but it can do so much more! For instance, the Philips Kerashine Hair Straightener with its rounded edges can also be used to create effortless-looking beach waves with just a simple bend of your wrist. We also recommend it for its design and protective features. Like, it heats up to 210 degrees, which is the temperature pro stylists recommend when using hot tools, and its ceramic plates are infused with keratin for ultrasmooth gliding. It also heats up in 60 seconds and has SilkPro Care technology for less heat exposure. We also love the extra wide plates and the fact that it costs under INR 3,000. 

Pro Tip: Don't use this on wet hair! It'll only burn it.

Price: INR 2,425.

To make straightening your hair easier than ever, invest in this Philips Straightener brush with thermoprotect technology, says Aakanksha, who's our content lead. "Since your hair isn't being clamped like with a traditional flat iron, it doesn't tug or snag your hair, while the easy brush design means you can straighten the back of your head with ease." The bristles detangle your hair while the ThermoProtect technology maintains even temperature across the brush to prevent overheating. The bristles also have a keratin infused ceramic coating for shiny, smooth, frizz-free hair.

Pro Tip: If you have really curly hair, then leave about 30 minutes to straighten it. If not, then this only takes about ten minutes. Make sure to not use on wet hair!

Price: INR 3,500 (but it is always on sale on Amazon, so get it for approximately INR 2,600)

If you’re the kind that likes to experiment with their curling pattern, a handy-dandy curling stick is all you need. This is the clampless type, it’s easier to maneuver, so you can create all different kinds of curls and waves. The Alan Truman stick comes with the goodness of argan oil. The premium ceramic coating on the barrel provides nourishment and protects the hair from heat damage. 

Pro Tip: You don't have to use any heat protection. 

Price: INR 2,449

Peeps with shorter hair, there’s no reason why you should be deprived of amazing curls or waves. Now, a regular curling wand will leave you with scorched finger tips or a burnt scalp, which is why it is easier if you opt for one with the clamp. This way you can painlessly work your way around the barrel. This Philips Curler isn’t just budget-friendly, it also has protective ceramic coating for extra gentle styling at its price. It heats up in 60 seconds and blinks to indicate when it is ready for use. We checked this product out after the good reviews on Amazon, and we're now believers of those reviews that say it's a fantastic product. For the most part!

Pro Tip: You also don't need to hold your hair on the stick for too long as it curls quite fast. 

Price: INR 1,995 (you don't need to tell us that you'll probably get it for less!)

Read Now: Head to Google (4.6 rating) or Amazon (4.3 ratings of 2,500 reviews) to make an informed decision based on customer reviews. Many people have mentioned that this is a good budget curler that heats up pretty quickly and is easy to use. 

Many users have termed the hot air brush an “iconic” tool that does it all! Think of it as a round brush and blow dryer in one, it does both jobs using one tool, resulting in a voluminous, salon-worthy blowout with barely any effort involved. Not only does it cut down on arm strain (and the need for pro-level skills), but it also dries hair incredibly quickly, thanks to the dozens of airflow vents embedded in the brush. The Carrera 535 Professional Hot Air Brush Styler comes with three heat settings and two speeds and works on all hair types.

Pro Tip: This one also comes with three attachments, letting you create anything from XXS ringlets to big, bouncy XXL curls. 

Price: INR 6,999 is the original price, but currently it's at around INR 5,300. 

Read Now: The Carrera 535 Professional Hot Air Brush Styler has a 4.1 rating on Nykaa and 4-star rating on Amazon. User Anchal Kumar on Amazon says (she also has before after pictures), "I have been looking for a product that would work on my unruly super curly hair. So happy that I finally found this! Works like a charm and gave me salon type blowdry at home that lasts too. Love it!"

Do not underestimate the styling ability of a good hair dryer. Among your list of hair tools this is a must have. Get this solid, durable and professional grade blow dryer from Carrera, it may be a little pricey but it will last you years. It comes with different heat/speed settings to choose from. It has a foldable handle and travel/storage bag to carry wherever you go and keep you in style. We like the permanent ionization technology that allows for air flow infused with argan oil and keratin for smoother, healthier and shinier hair.

Watch Now: NDTV Swirlster's detailed review on YouTube. They breakdown use and results. Watch here. 

You know why we chose this one? It has 4.4 stars on Amazon, with a whopping 91% of the 34,853 global ratings giving it a 3+! So, it you are always choosing that beach wave look over anything else, this tool warrants your investment simply because it gives you easy-peasy defined waves. You can now skip the curling iron or straightener and opt for this Bed Head Wave Artist Deep Waver instead. It provides big, bold, salon-quality waves and requires basically no technique. Bed Head's waver works like a flat iron, so it's super easy to use if you're a novice. Expect a more styled, crimped-like effect, as opposed to loose, barely-there beach waves. Like most top-quality hair tools, Bed Head's iron has ceramic plates that cut down on frizz and damage, as well as multiple heat settings and automatic shut-off.

Pro Tip: This has an auto-shut off incase it gets too hot for your hair. Also, it's great if you have straight and silky hair too - so you don't lose those curls before you leave the house!

Price: INR 7000 but currently at INR 5,100.

Watch Now: If the Amazon reviews weren't enough, watch Lauren Frances Hair on YouTube review this product here. This particular video has over half million views and a ton of positive comments.

While this writer did not get this for herself, she did use it (via a visit to the hair salon!). Yes, the price is INR 45,000 when it is not on discount, which suddenly looks like a lot. Don't get us wrong, it is! But you do get six different attachments for different hair types. Two barrels of different sizes to curl your hair, one pre-styling dryer, two smoothing brushes, and a volumising brush too, all neatly tucked into a nifty storage case.

Pro Tip: We did the math. While it does cost INR 45,000 (not on discount; you can get this for about INR 36,000), and each hair stylising session at the salon costs at least INR 3,000, you'll break even in 15 sessions. So, if you REALLY want your hair to look good, without visiting the parlour, this one is a proper investment! 

Price: INR 45,000 but on sales anything between INR 36,000 and INR 40,000.

Watch Now: There are many reviews on this product, some from the biggest beauty influencers and celebrities in the industry, -- we like this review on YouTube by beauty influencer, Taylor Wynn where she shares here in-depth review after 5 months of testing. Watch here. 

If it's a best-seller on Amazon, it must be good. So, we did try it out, and for INR 1,300 (originally, INR 1,800) we know why it is such a favourite! This one comes with three stylers - straightener, curler, and crimper. They are all made from ceramic so they don't damage the hair. Honestly though, the straightener was our least favourite of the lot as it required much effort. But the curler and crimper work like a charm. It does take longer than the more expensive straighteners on and off this list. As for the curler, we tried it on someone who's hair is really, REALLY straight, and it lasted about 10 odd hours. WIN!

Pro Tip: Try and dry your hair fully before using these products. 

Price: INR 1,799

Watch Now: Priyanka Jazmin's 20-minute review here. She also demonstrates how to use all three settings and the results of each. 

With a straightener, curler, crimper, conical curler and volume brush, this is Amazon's pick, we're told! All attachments come with a protective heat-insulated tip to make sure your fingers nor hair don't burn. What we love most, apart from the price, is that the wire 1.8 meters. So, you don't need to be stuck to your dresser or mirror while you're styling your hair!

Pro Tip: The brush comb is a little bit flimsy, but only if you have really thick and curly hair like this writer. 

Price: INR 2,264 (originally INR 3,495)
