If it’s not the two-in-one cheek and lip tints that give away your yearning for efficiency, perhaps it’s your multipurpose priming serum. Or your moisturizer that doubles up as a sunscreen. Sound familiar? It may be time to streamline that stash of blow-dryers, curling irons, and flatirons getting tangled in your drawer. Enter multi-stylers, the latest category in hair tools that seeks to do just that. A multi-styler refers to a hair tool that comes with interchangeable attachments that perform various functions for your hair. These nifty tools are a multi-functional beauty lover’s dream in that they serve more than one purpose — be it drying, curling, straightening, and/or smoothing. And while multi-stylers will rid you of the hassle of heating up yet another hair tool, it just so happens that they’ll also yield you some seriously fabulous hairstyles in the process.
Think of multi-stylists like your very own personal hairstylist — your accomplice to salon-worthy hair, if you will. Hair tool giants like Dyson, Shark, and T3 have come out with inventive multi-stylers that’ll allow you to effortlessly curl, wave, or straighten your hair all while cutting back on drying time and allowing you to use less heat. We should warn you that because multi-stylers are meant to take the place of traditional single-performing hot tools, they tend to be pricier upfront. But, for those who get weekly blowouts at the salon (or those who want to master the art of the at-home blowout), multi-stylers can be a smart investment.
Here are the best multi-stylers — including not one, but four Best of Beauty Award winners — for your hair that’ll keep the compliments pouring.
