Heat styling seems to be one of those necessary evils you just can’t part with. Or at least, I can’t seem to do away with it. Of course, there are times when natural hair works for the occasion. But most of the time, trying to put together a sleek and lasting look requires the use of a blow dryer, flat iron, curling wand, or some combination of all three.

There are a ton of great products on the market, some more expensive than others. But I’ve put together a list of some great, essential and cost-effective options to make sure your hair looks and feels great. Read ahead for my selections.
