Professionally Tried and Tested Hair Tools and Accessories

As a hairstylist for 20 years, I have built an arsenal of tools and accessories that I personally use and recommend to my fellow cosmetologists and practically to those looking for an item specific to their needs. I understand when you can trim down your tools and accessories to a minimum because you already developed a second nature to pick up something you know won’t fail you.

Here I came up with 10 of my most helpful and gets-the-job-done tools and accessories for several of your hair-styling needs:
(Just CLICK on the image or item name to add this to your toolkit)

This flat iron is amazing to straighten curl and smoothen every hair texture. It can straighten very curly and coarse hair like silk and polish very fragile hair by reducing the heating temperature to straighten hair making this iron a must for all hair types.

This is my favorite cutting comb.

I have had mine for many years and the material is so super stiff it makes parting sectioning for cutting hair a breeze. Also, the comb is so durable the barbicide does not affect the comb which makes for a fantastic comb.

These hair razors are great.

They make creating choppy shapes and cuts wonderful. The blade comes with a curved groove to protect from cutting your fingers when using. I love to graze the blade over hair between my palms to give the ends a softer line. Great for giving hair a feathery flow.

These plastic duckbill clips are great when you need to section hair away to cut, blowdry and style the hair. The tight grips make hair stay in place and won’t snag fragile hair.

These are my absolute favorite hair accessories.

The elastic hooks come in a variety of hair colors to create flawless ponytails and can be used on fine and extra thick hair. what I really love the most is that when winding the elastic the hair stays neatly and reduces bumps that occur when stretching normal round fasteners when gripping hair.

These clippers are the only brand I use. they can cut hair to a variety of lengths and have a very long life when cared for properly. The peanut is the closest in skin-tight effects and is a must for male grooming. used for hair and beards and mustaches.

The poster finisher is a must for barbers and when creating tight clean lines .can be used to stencil different shaped into hair, even out sideburns. And clean out bobs and blunt shapes in hair.

This is a great material and finding great quality white capes are hard to find. great for cutting dark hair and styling hair and to be able to see your work when doing hair.

Wider than traditional brushes, it makes grabbing wider sections when doing blow drying wonderful. The boar bristles shine and polish curly hair and leave hair feeling like naturally straight hair.

This is my favorite cutting comb.

These are my favorite tools and accessories. If you do decide to try them (or better yet, if you already have them) please let me know in the comments why you love them, too.

Do you have other tools that you can’t live without that’s not on the list? Share them through the comments! I would love to know!
