Hair dryers are obviously nothing new. But new models are being designed that dry hair faster, are less bulky, and make less noise. Lighter hair dryers are an excellent choice as we age. This is especially true if you have arthritis or limited mobility in your hands, wrists, or shoulders.
The Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer utilizes nanoe technology to infuse moisture into the hair while drying, which helps reduce frizz and enhance shine. It comes with multiple attachments, including a quick-dry nozzle and a diffuser.
The T3 Cura Luxe Hair Dryer offers digitally controlled heat settings and a powerful ion generator that helps reduce frizz and enhance shine. It also has an auto-pause sensor, which pauses the airflow when you release the handle, making it convenient to use.
The Remington ProLuxe HydraCare Dryer features a unique HydraCare sensor that regulates the temperature to protect hair from excessive heat damage. It also has a powerful airflow and ionic conditioning to help achieve smooth, frizz-free results.
The Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic Hair Dryer is designed with a ceramic and ionic system that helps to seal the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing shine. It is lightweight, powerful, and comes with a diffuser and concentrator nozzle.
Curling irons have also come a long way since the days of the tortuous high-heat irons that would burn our hair to a crisp.
New materials like ceramic and titanium are used to help protect the hair and cause less heat damage.

I discovered curling wands several years ago and haven’t looked back. This curling wand is perfect to create soft beachy waves without pressing the volume out of the hair as a traditional curling iron does. Perfect if you have fine hair.

This curling iron from BaBylissPro has a ceramic-covered titanium barrel that uses far-infrared heat that heats the hair shaft from within for styling with less damage. It’s also lightweight and easy to use.
Flat irons are super versatile and can be used to flatten hair, add shine, and create curls and waves.

This flat iron from the trusted brand Revlon is made with ionic tourmaline plates that help fight frizz and create shine. It is lightweight, ergonomic, and will shut itself off if you forget it on.
This flat iron is a game-changer with its predictive technology that adapts to your hair’s thickness and styling speed. It maintains a constant temperature of 365°F, which is optimal for reducing damage while ensuring your hair remains shiny and healthy.
Hot air brushes are the new kid on the block and have gained tremendous popularity. They are great to dry hair without frizz and create volume.

My daughter introduced me to this hot air brush from Revlon, and I love the volume it gives my hair. This device lets you dry and style all in one instead of using a hair dryer and a hairbrush combo.
Remember that it’s important to protect your hair when using heated devices. Use thermal sprays before styling to keep your hair protected from heat damage.

The Dyson Airwrap is a versatile tool that can curl, wave, smooth, and volumize without extreme heat. It uses air to style hair, making it a gentler option for those looking to reduce heat damage. The multiple attachments cater to different hair types and styles.
For those who want to avoid heat altogether, Velcro rollers are a fantastic option. They add volume and create soft curls without the risk of heat damage.
Flexi rods are another heat-free option for creating curls. They are easy to use and comfortable to sleep in, making them perfect for overnight styling.
