If you talk about styling your hair, you know that professional hair salons do it best. But did you know that the styling tools they use can also make a huge difference?

Most women, and maybe that includes you, tend to think that hairstyling tools then and now are equally effective. Sometimes, you may really believe that the problem is your hair. But did you ever consider that the culprit could have been the hairstyling tool used? Maybe you'd say you can't afford a hair salon that uses superior tools, but you certainly got it all wrong. These quality tools can actually be found even in more reasonably priced places. 

As you go around searching for the right salon for you, take a look at the hairstyling tools they use. Should you need references for this, go to the site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_salon. They can tell you a lot, regardless if you only intend to get a haircut as of now. The following are some points to consider:

Heating with Ceramics 

Hair straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers running on ceramic technology are the best since they leave very little damage on your hair. The different hair tools also offer unique benefits. Ceramic hair dryers are used for drying hair quickly, while ceramic hair straighteners and curlers make sure that silk molecules penetrate right through the hair.

Ionic Technology

Ionic hairstyling tools create and emit negative ions which are effective for removing frizz and static, and smoothing out hair cuticles. If your hair is naturally fine or limp, do tell your hairstylist to avoid using an ionic tool because this can flatten your hair all the more, knowing that negative ions tend to limit hair activity. Relevant details about this are defined at www.matthewkanehairdresser.co.nz.

Adjustable Temperature

While checking out a hair salon, ask if their hairstyling tools come with temperature adjustments. Constant high heat is certainly not good for the hair. After all, we don't all have the same hair type, meaning, different heat levels will be necessary. Be very particular about this point if you have damaged, overly processed hair. It is important that heat settings in this case are kept low. If your hair is thick and generally healthy, then a higher heat is alright. If you have rather stubborn hair, higher temperatures are going to work more effectively. Inquire from the staff if their straightening and curling tools have a minimum high of 400?.

Tourmaline

Finally, ask your prospective hairstylist if they have tools with tourmaline, which is a semi-precious stone that can produce more negative ions and even far infrared heat. Far infrared heat works by heating hair internally, thereby causing little damage. When combined with negative ions, it leads to much shinier and smoother strands.

Next time you need to go to a professional hairstylist, don't hesitate ask about the tools they use. By knowing which tools are good for your hair, you can help yourself end up in the right Wellington hair salons.
