Whether you need volume or taming, de-tangling or de-frizzing, these are the best hair styling tools 2019 has to offer
Cloud Nine The Wide Iron, £149These award-winning irons heat up within 20 seconds and you can set your temperature (between 100-200 degrees), so you can choose the setting depending on your hair type. They are lovely and wide, so you can smooth large sections at a time and do battle with frizz, unruly kinks or create chunky waves in minutes. Plus they have some brilliant safety features like an automated shut-off after 30 minutes and have a silicone glove to slip over when you’re done so it won’t burn you, your furniture or the carpet either.

FURIDEN Straightening Brush Hair, £39.97
Would you like to stretch that blow dry out for another day or two? Then invest in a little hair powder for the roots and use this: it's a hybrid between a blow dry brush and straightening iron, and it adds that salon-sleekness on dry hair to refresh a blow dry that’s starting to flag. Plus it’s super similar to the out of stock GHD equivalent, at a much lower price.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, £299
The Dyson diffuser magnetically attaches to the dryer and disperses air evenly around your curls and has negative ions, helping to reduce frizz and static while improving definition. It’s expensive – but one of the only dryers around that promises salon-worthy results without paying (and tipping) the stylist.

This hand-held massager can be used alone on dry locks, or on wet with your shampoo, oil or treatment to make products work harder. It can help to detox your scalp, get rid of flakiness and dislodge dirt and boost blood flow, which in turn bolsters growth and makes hair healthier too.
