    17 Hair Tools That'll Help You Get Dramatic Before-And-After Photos

    Curling irons, straighteners, diffusers, and no-heat tools with review photos that just say it all.

    1. A Bed Head waver with adjustable tourmaline ceramic plates so you can get a variety of styles (from tighter almost-curls to beachy mermaid hair to loose, tousled locks) — all using one tool!

    2. A Revlon one-step hair-drying paddle brush that'll detangle, dry, smooth, and straighten hair in way less time than you might think.

    3. Or the Revlon one-step drying brush with an oval-shaped barrel so you can get super close to your scalp for smooth hair and majorly boosted volume at the roots. Just note that for this one, the before is on the *right* and the after is on the *left*.

    4. An ergonomic detangling brush complete with cone-shaped bristles to separate knots and snarls without ripping out hair, so kids and adults like can enjoy an ouch-free combing experience.

    5. An HSI ionic flat iron that'll glide over your hair, smoothing and straightening while adding shine, thanks to sensors that regular the temperature so you're not doing any damage. This thing has over 21,000 five star reviews, which... wow.

    6. The Voloom, a tool masquerading as a flat iron, but with raised checkerboard plates to crimp your hair in two directions, creating a mega voluminous look — just use it on the underneath parts, and layer your uncrimped hair on top!

    7. An ionic straightening brush that'll straighten already dry hair *without* flattening it down or giving it that crispy look — each horizontal bristle functions like a mini flat iron for all the smoothing power, but it won't clump your strands together.

    8. An ~automatic~ curling iron for anyone who hasn't had luck with traditional curling irons. This one twists automatically to create flawless spirals and barrel curls in the push of a button.

    9. A two-in-one flat and curling iron so you don't have to waste precious bathroom storage space on two products. This is especially great for anyone who straightens their hair *before* curling it for loose waves or old Hollywood glam looks.

    10. An Instyler Glossie heated brush for a twist on a classic straightening brush — this one comes with ceramic heated plates and a styling arm to fully sleekify your locks in a single pass over your hair.

    11. A set of curved, vented paddle brushes to make giving yourself a blowout with a hair dryer and a brush less intimidating (the vents let the hot air through, drying your hair as you comb through it — magic!).

    12. A John Frieda hot air brush, because holding a blow dryer *and* a round brush is just too much work. Just run this through your hair for blown out strands (with those Dry Bar–esque curled ends) without all the effort.

    13. A curling iron with five interchangeable barrels to create tons and tons and tons of different curl patterns and hairstyles. They range from a tapered wand (.3-.75 inches) to a 1.25 inch clamped curling iron so you can customize your look!

    14. A uniquely-shaped diffuser attachment to scoop your curls into their natural pattern and dry them in place, reducing frizz and increasing definition AND shine.

    15. A Remington tapered curling wand that'll heat up in 30 SECONDS and create gorgeous waves so you can head out the door in no time.

    16. A set of foam curling rods so an amazing head of twists and curls is only one sleep away. Wrap your hair around the outside, twist the flexible rod into a loop, c-, or s-shape and then... go to bed!

    17. A Bed Head Little Tease crimper you can use for cute throwback hairstyles or try it on the underneath sections for a tousled look with mega volume.
