There are all kinds of hair electricals available and I know from experience it can be tricky to pick the right ones - especially when you're hair is as un-cooperatively poker straight as mine is. Sometimes you need a little helping hand to choose the perfect tools...
Number One: The Cloud Nine Iron
Touted as the new ghd - and incidentally created by the founder of ghd - Cloud Nine is the latest range of must-have hair tools designed to produce stunning results, but using less heat and therefore less damaging to hair. Favoured by hairdressers including Richard Ward and Lisa Shepherd amongst others. The original and most popular classic iron is suitable for all hair types, using state-of-the-art temperature control technology, offering between 100-200 degrees heat selection, allowing you to create lots of exciting looks, without having to use searing heat. The straighteners are pack with brilliant features, from the simple-to-follow temperature gauge, to the hibernation mode which switches the iron off after it has been unused for 30 mins for safe styling and swivel cord, it has everything you need to make the most of your style.

Number Two: The Enrapture Encode Totem Styler
The only thing I have found that will successfully transform my poke straight locks into a mass of long-lasting bouncy waves, the patented Encode Totem Styler is the first ever styler to feature three independent heat zones that can be set to three different temperatures using encoder dials. The highest heat settings form bouncy, tight curls and the lower, cooler settings form loose waves and softer spirals, so a variety of looks can be created depending on the heat code selected. Designed to deliver professional performance, the 25mm totem barrel also features superior titanium plate technology. Titanium plates don’t wear down like ceramic spray finishes and the polished plates are ultra smooth to prevent snagging. Due to the titanium plates the Encode Totem Styler heats up rapidly in two minutes, recovers heat quickly from curl to curl and distributes heat more evenly, avoiding cold and hot spots that can cause damage.

Number Three: The WAHL 3 in 1 Hot Air Styler
If like me you struggle to add volume to your hair, the WAHL 3 in 1 Hot Air Style might just be your saviour. The powerful 1200w styler has two heat settings, two speed settings, and comes complete with three different styling nozzles meaning you can curl, straighten and dry hair with one styling tool. Eliminating the fiddly hairbrush/hairdryer combo, it results in a super easy, professional-looking blow dry.
