My Top 5 Hair Tools!

 Hello everyone. I have recently realised that I have never done a post surrounding the topic of hair, so for this post I thought I would show you my Top 5 Hair Tools. This isn't going to show any products I use in my hair, but just the top tools that I like to use with my hair. Here goes:

First up is the Remington Curling Wand. I love using this to curl my hair and I usually use this tool when I want the curls to be tighter and more defined, rather than a wavy style. It's very simple to use, you just separate the hair into sections, wrap each piece around the wand and hold it there for the desired time. You can adjust how the curls turn out depending the length of time you hold the hair around the wand, and the size of the chunks you separate the hair into.

Sticking with the electrical heat styling kind of tools, next up are a pair of straighteners. I use FHI Heat Platform straighteners. I know most people tend to love GHD's but I have used these for years and I personally find these do the job well enough for me so I have no reason to buy a new pair! I don't actually use this tool to straighten my hair, as I don't like to wear my hair straight. Usually I use this tool when I want to create more of a wavy style to my hair, which is usually my everyday look. I just use the straighteners like you would if you were curling your hair with them, but only briefly hold the hair to the heat.

Here are the next two tools. Of course I have included my Tangle Teezer (The Compact Styler). To be quite honest I would be very surprised if any beauty blogger did this post and didn't include the Tangle Teezer! You all know how I feel about this, it is the best hairbrush I have ever used! I use it all the time on my hair when it's both dry and wet and it is pretty much the only hairbrush I use now! 

The next tool I have chosen is this Hair Tinting Brush. If any of you dye your hair lighter than your natural colour, then you will know what a pain roots can be! I just find this tool very useful when I am colouring my roots using a home dye so I can apply the dye to the roots and not splash too much on the rest of my hair where it isn't needed. I think I got this from a hair specialist shop called Sally's, but I'm sure you can pick one up just like it in any Boots or Superdrug too.

My final choice is a hair doughnut. This is a rediscovery for me. I used this a lot back in the summer when my hair was much longer, but when I had it cut shorter, I began to wear it down every day so it got pushed to one side. This is a great tool for people with thin and quite straight hair like myself. My hair does not have a lot of volume naturally so I struggle to get it up in a nice bun, however using one of these gives me a big and full hair bun that I just love! I'm so glad I have rediscovered it again recently because it's just such a handy tool for me. I also think this would be a great hairstyle for me to wear to work.

What are your must have hair tools?

Also, please let me know if you like this kind of post, if you do I was considering doing a Top 5 Beauty Tools one too, so a similar post but including tools for make up, skincare and nails etc. Is that something you'd be interested in?

My Top 5 | Most Worn Perfumes

Today I have a Top 5 post for you! This one is going to be my most worn perfumes edition.

Note: I have not put them in any particular order, I am just going to show you the five perfumes from my collection that I tend to wear the most. Here they are:

Ghost - Deep Night

I really love this perfume. I love all Ghost perfumes but found I liked this one best at the time of purchasing so this was the one I chose! It has a lovely, kind of fruity scent that I find perfect for everyday wear!

Marc Jacobs - Lola

This perfume has a lovely floral scent that's not too overpowering.I have the Limited Edition Velvet version of this perfume, so the lid of the bottle is velvet. You can't get this exact one anymore but you can still get the same scent in a similar bottle with a plastic lid. 

I love the extravagant design of the bottle, it really stands out from my other perfumes and I would say this is the one out of my Top 5 that has the longest lasting power too.

Ralph Lauren - Ralph

I really love the musky, fresh scent this perfume has and it is again a perfect perfume for everyday wear. The only downside is that I only have a small 30ml bottle of this so I have to try not to use it too much because I hate my perfumes running out!

Ed Hardy Love & Luck - Christian Audigier 

This is probably my least favourite of the five but still one I wear quite a lot. It has an unusual scent, it is fairly musky and fruity and I would say it is quite a refreshing scent. I do think the bottle is very interesting though, it has a geisha tattoo inspired design and is another one that really stands out in my collection.

DKNY Red Delicious

This perfume definitely lives up to it's name 'Delicious'. It has the loveliest fruity scent which would be amazing in the summer. I've actually decided I don't wear this one enough whilst planning this post so I definitely will be wearing it even more now! The scent also lasts a long time on the skin!

What's your favourite perfume?
