I’ve written guides to almost every hair-care tool out there, from blow-dryers to blow-dryer brushes. And I’ve tested enough of them to know that the right curling iron or straightener can really change your at-home styling game, but they are often investments. As much as I love my Dyson, it’s hard to ignore the fact that it costs the same as a month’s supply of groceries. Which is why it’s wise to splurge when the tools are on sale. So I’ve compiled a list of my favorite discounted tools down below. And make sure to sign up for our newsletter to find out about other worthwhile sales, too.
Right now, GHD’s entire website is 20 percent off with code HAIRFIX20. There are plenty of tools to choose from, but I’d recommend its Rise thermal brush. It’s basically like a cross between a curling iron and a blow-dryer brush. It heats up but is blessedly silent and great for styling dry hair.
Or my favorite curling iron, which heats up to exactly 365 degrees to minimize heat damage.
Drybar is offering 30 percent off sitewide right now with code BIRTHDAY, so now’s a good time to splurge on tools or stock up on styling accessories like hair clips and rollers.
The cult favorite Airwrap in a special-edition strawberry colorway.
And if you want to save even more money, Shark’s FlexStyle is not a bad dupe for the Airwrap.
If you already have the Supersonic and want to upgrade, Dyson’s Nural hair dryer utilizes sensor technology designed to protect scalp health and reduce heat damage by lowering the temperature and power of the dryer as it gets closer to your hair and scalp.
Instead of the traditional heat and speed settings, T3’s Featherweight StyleMax has settings for hair texture (fine, medium, coarse) as well as styling type (rough dry, smooth, diffuse, volume). The dryer then auto-adjusts the heat and speed settings for you. It has four different attachments in addition to the dryer: a styling concentrator, a drying concentrator, a diffuser, and a smoothing comb.
T3 also makes excellent curling irons. And this one has an automatic rotating barrel, which is great for beginners.
Or try this older model of its original flat iron, on sale for just $100.
