Wet to Dry

How do wet to dry hair tools work?

Wet to dry hair tools are designed to make your styling routine quicker and easier. They work by drying and styling your hair at the same time using a combination of heated brushes, plates, and airflow. This means you can go from damp to perfectly styled hair in one easy step.

When you’re looking for ways to get that salon-quality finish at home, these styling tools are a great option. They help you achieve smooth, sleek hair in less time, making them a favourite for anyone wanting to simplify their styling routine while keeping their hair looking its best.

Why should you use wet to dry hairstyling tools?

No more waiting around for your hair to dry. With wet to dry tools, getting ready becomes a lot easier. These tools let you dry and style your hair in one go, saving time and keeping your hair in good shape. Here’s why they’re a great choice:

• Get quick results: Dry and style your hair at the same time with hot air and heated plates or brushes.
• Reduce damage: Minimise the need for repeated heat exposure.
• Save time: Cut down on your routine—perfect for when you’re in a rush.
• Achieve a salon finish: Get smooth, sleek hair without leaving home.
• All-in-one: No more switching between a hair dryer and a hair straightener.

Do wet to dry hair tools work on all hair types?

Absolutely, wet to dry tools are designed to work on most hair types. Whether you have naturally straight hair, curly hair, or wavy hair, these tools can help you achieve the style you're after. By gently drying and styling your hair at the same time, they make your routine easier without compromising your hair's health.

If you’ve got colour-treated hair, these tools can be a good option. They help style your hair gently, which can reduce the risk of fading whether you’re rocking blonde hair or a deeper shade. The controlled heat settings help keep your hair looking smooth and healthy.

How to choose the right wet to dry hair tool for your hair type

Choosing the right wet to dry tool depends on what your hair needs. If frizz and flyaways are your main hair concerns, a hair dryer brush might be the way to go. It dries and smooths in one step, making your hair look polished with less effort.

If you’re dealing with tangles and want to avoid breakage, a multi-styler could be more up your alley. These tools are designed to style gently while keeping heat damage to a minimum, so you can get that sleek finish without stressing your hair.

For thick or coarse hair, a heated comb straightener could be just what you need. It glides through hair easily, reduces breakage, and speeds up the styling process.

And when you’re ready to pick the perfect tool, you’ll find top hair brands like ghd, Mermade Hair, Bondi Boost, Shark, Curious Grace, and Silver Bullet at Hairhouse. There’s something for every hairstyle and type.

How to use a wet to dry hair straightener effectively

Using a wet to dry hair straightener can save you time and give you sleek, straight tresses, but it’s important to use it correctly to protect your hair. Our Hairhouse experts have put together a simple tutorial to help you get smooth, sleek hair without causing heat damage. Just follow these easy steps to get the best results:

• Towel dry your hair to remove as much moisture as possible before straightening.
• Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from the heat and prevent damage.
• Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb or a hairbrush for smooth and even styling.
• Adjust the heat settings on your straightener based on the type of your hair to avoid overheating.
• Section and pin your hair, then use the hair tool to smooth each section carefully.
• Finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep your style in place all day.

Comparing wet to dry vs. traditional styling tools

When choosing styling tools, it’s about what fits best into your routine and what your hair needs. Traditional tools like hair straighteners and hair curlers work on completely dry hair. This can be time-consuming, especially if you like to air-dry your hair before you start styling. Letting your hair dry naturally or using a blow dryer to speed things up can add extra time to your routine.

Wet to dry tools simplify the process by letting you skip the drying step entirely. They dry and style your hair all at once, which can be a real lifesaver when you’re short on time. These tools are particularly handy on busy mornings when you need to get out the door quickly but still want your hair to look great.

Both types of hair tools have their benefits, but it all comes down to what works best for you. Whether you value the control of traditional methods or the convenience of wet to dry tools, there’s an option at Hairhouse that can fit seamlessly into your routine and help you achieve the look you want.

Why should you straighten your hair while it's wet?

Straightening your hair while it's still damp can help you achieve a sleek and long-lasting style. When hair is slightly wet, it’s easier to shape and straighten, which can lead to a smoother finish as it dries.

Not all hair tools are gentle enough for wet hair. However, a hairstylist-approved wet-to-dry straightener can safely and effectively transform damp locks into sleek styles.

Pair this tool with the right haircare products, including shampoo, conditioner, and protective hair treatment, for optimal results. For those who prefer a bit of extra care, starting with a quick blow dry using a hair dryer and a hair diffuser can help reduce moisture before straightening.
