19
items Over the years I've tested many hot tools on my fine, thin hair. My hair is also naturally frizzy, tangly, on the shorter side, and it hates to hold a style or do volume. These are the tools that I actually kept and I reach for from time to time! I'm...

When heat styling be sure to get a good protectant as well as a glove. These are my favorites for fine, thin, frizzy hair.
This 10-in-1 is my go-to heat protectant that also helps with frizz and makes your hair smell good, among other benefits.
Fructis Sleek & Shine 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray
I have to give a shout out to this 10-in-1 as well! It makes your hair SUPER soft and shiny. It's immediately visible.
Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer
I always have a thermal hair styling glove on hand for most hot tools, outside of blow dryers.

You absolutely should use sectioning clips with hot tools for a proper look. I'm lazy though and I skip them a lot!
Professional Hair Clips For Sectioning
Always begin styling with brushed hair that is free of knots and tangles. I swear by the original Wet Brush. It feels like you are gliding nothing through your hair! It's so gentle and effective.

If you end up doing a blowout, get this to maintain the style for days.

Curling Wands
These are my go-to curling wands for fine, thin hair that actually make a difference.
I use the tapered wand the most! This size is perfect to get curls that actually last in fine hair that won't hold a style.
Curling Wands
Adding a waver in with the curlers. This is the one I've owned forever, before wavers became cool. I call this “mermaid hair.”
Triple Barrel Waver - InfinitiPRO by ...
This is a standard 1" clip curler that I think everyone should own. I like to use it as if it's clipless and it works great. When they say instant heat, they mean it!
Instant Heat 1-inch Curling Iron
I love that you can blow dry your hair and curl at the same time! It's such a time saver. It's sort of wonky to get used to. The key here is to wrap your hair around the device when it's off, blast it with the heat, shut it off, then remove the hair.

Flat Irons
Sometimes you want to go straight, and these flat irons and related tools are exactly what you need.
I would keep straightening wet hair to be a RARE occasion, but, this one does the job. When you're in a pinch, this is it.
Pro Wet2Style™ 1¾" Flat Iron - Remington
I know she's expensive but it's a super nice straightener. It never grabs or snags the hair, and the design is less damaging. It's rechargeable as well. Of course, feel free to use a standard straightener. I got this free from redeeming points at wor...
Dyson Corrale™ hair straightener
My hair is literally allergic to volume lol. These volumizing irons actually do the trick. Another thing that I would save for rare use to spare your hair some damage.
VOLOOM
Did you forget about this as seen on TV find? It's pretty much the only one that I kept but it's a great alternative to the standard hair straightener. Less damage for sure.
Simply Straight Ceramic Hair Brush, Black/Pink
This is hands down the best straightener to do curls with! But yeah, you can use it for it's intended purpose too.
Remington 1" Flat Iron with Anti-Static
Blowdriers
Get ready to see every blowdrying and hot brush related tool that I own! I probably use these the most. No frizz here!
Believe it or not, I use this more than the One Step Volumizer. It's my go-to when I'm in a pinch with damp hair. I don't even section my hair. It takes about 10 minutes to be dry, straight, and sleek then I'm out the door.
REVLON One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler
It's the tool that does it all! I super like this for travel purposes. This will blowout, curl, and straighten. Plus, you can use it as a regular blow dryer.
Build your own Shark FlexStyle® Air Styling & Drying System-Stone
For quick blowouts and getting that swoop at the end of your hair, I'm all about this tool. It lives up to the hype.
Salon One-Step™ Hair Dryer and Volumizer
You can get a more precise blowout, and even some curls with pratice. It's definitely different than the other Revlon tools mentioned here, but underrated.
