You’ve probably all seen the YouTube of a then 13 year old Tori Locklear giving a tutorial on how to use a curling iron that went horribly wrong.
Fortunately for Tori, her hair styling disaster landed her a guest spot on Ellen and a kit-out of new hair and make-up tools and supplies, along with a wig - just in case.
The cause of the burnt hair - an assumed short in the curling iron that then prevented a regulation of the heat.
Hair dryers, hot rollers, curling and straightening irons run the gamut of brands, prices and places to be purchased. There’s lots of choice, whether you purchase at discount chains such as Kmart and Big W, online from Amazon, etc, or from beauty supply chains - how are you sure your purchase won’t burn you.
Reputable stylists have access to suppliers of quality tools and should be your first stop when looking to buy styling tools. Not only can they advise you on the best brands and types of tools to achieve the look you want, they can also give you advice on the right products to protect your hair when using specific tools.
Check for stylist credentials where you purchase your tools. Look for a registered stylist with HAIR – Hairdressing Australia Industry Register, and preferably a membership with the Australian Hairdressing Council.
