I’m a very routine oriented person. Every day starts with a shower, the same breakfast, my blow dryer, a straightener, makeup, coffee, and then work. While I love my routine, though, I’m not opposed to cutting a few corners. Hair tools that dry and style at the same time can seriously cut down on the effort it takes to get ready in the morning, because instead of using two or three different tools and techniques, you’re getting the desired effect all in one amazing wet-to-dry styling tool.
These tools are also really awesome if you don’t know much about the best techniques to blow dry your hair. It took me months to finally perfect that wrist-twisting motion with a rounded bristle brush, and that’s only because my mom and my stylist at the time were both very patient with me. If you’re one of those girls who takes a blow dryer to their hair sans brush, ends up with a frizzy mess, and then reaches for the hair straightener to tame it all, these innovative tools that dry while they style are definitely worth your interest – not only because they can save you some serious time in the morning, but because fewer tools means less heat, which means that your hair stays healthy and manageable.
1. Straighten, Curl, Or Style While You Dry

The Wazor Professional hair dryer is an incredible dryer all on its own, as it has a tourmaline ceramic build, negative ion technology, and far infrared heat, all of which help to dry your hair quickly, smoothly, and with less damage. However, it also comes with three different removable attachments that help you to straighten, curl, and style while you dry.
2. This Lightweight & Powerful Straightening Solution
