It’s Time to Invest in a Multi-Styler—Here Are the Best in the Game

Beauty routines are becoming more streamlined, thanks to multitasking products. Whether a poppy lip and cheek stain or tinted sunscreen, it’s clear that consumers and beauty enthusiasts are ready for a quicker routine. When it comes to hair care, nothing tops a multi-styler. Designed to dry, straighten, curl and then some, these tools are a staple for professional stylists and are making their way into homes. Saving time is the ultimate goal, and while a two or three-in-one can be helpful, the last thing we want is to sacrifice the health of our strands. Luckily, ion and patented airflow technologies have made styling safer than ever. With minimal heat and faster drying times, a multi-styler is the one-stop shop your hair-care routine needs. Ahead, see the best tools to add to your arsenal. The prices may be steep, but the longevity of the product and your style are worth the investment.
