The Best Hair Tools (And Which Ones Are Worth the $$$)
Let’s be real—there are a lot of hair tools out there. From blow dryers that promise frizz-free magic to flat irons that claim to curl, straighten, and fly you to the moon (okay, maybe not that last part), it can be hard to know what’s actually worth the investment.
At Savannah Rae Beauty, we use professional-grade tools every day—and we know which ones actually deliver. So whether you’re looking to elevate your at-home routine or treat yourself to a styling upgrade, here’s our breakdown of the best hair tools and which ones are truly worth the $$$.
💨 1.
Blow Dryer: Dyson Supersonic ($$$$)
Worth it? YES—if you style your hair regularly.
The Dyson Supersonic has a steep price tag, but here’s what you’re paying for: ultra-fast drying, reduced heat damage, quieter sound, and a sleek design that looks gorgeous on your counter. It’s lightweight and powerful—perfect for thick or curly hair that takes ages to dry. Check it out here!

🔥 2.
Flat Iron: GHD Platinum+ Styler ($$$)
Worth it? YES.
If you use heat on your hair often, this one’s a game-changer. The GHD Platinum+ heats evenly, styles in one pass, and monitors heat 250x per second to prevent damage. It straightens, waves, and curls with ease—great for sleek styles and soft bends. Check it out here!
Pro Tip: Always use heat protectant—no matter what tool you’re using!
💁♀️ 3.
Curling Iron: Bio Ionic Long Barrel Curling Iron ($$$)
Worth it? YES—especially if you love effortless, beachy waves.
This is one of our favorite curling tools ever. The Bio Ionic Long Barrel Curling Iron heats evenly, holds curls for days, and makes styling faster thanks to the extra-long barrel—perfect for medium to long hair. The curls are soft, shiny, and touchable, without frying your ends. Check it out here!
Bonus: Its ergonomic handle and smooth glide mean less wrist strain during styling sessions (pro tip from behind the chair!).
🧼 Bonus Must-Have: A Good Cleaning Routine
Even the best tools can’t do their job if they’re gunked up with product residue. Clean your tools regularly—especially hot tools like irons and dryers—to keep them working well and your hair looking its best.
Final Thoughts: Invest Where It Counts
Not every tool needs to break the bank, but the ones you use most often should be high quality. They’ll last longer, protect your hair better, and save you time in the long run.
