Best hair styling tools

Top pick: BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Hair Dryer — the one tool here with a big, proven following (4.5 of 5 from ~1,900 ratings), ionic and ceramic, and it suits all hair types. If you're buying one BaBylissPRO tool, this is the safest bet.

Who the others suit:

• Nano Titanium 1½" Ultra-Sleek flat iron — long hair and thick textures; extended plates cover more hair per pass.
• The Digital Ultra-Thin 1" flat iron — short hair, bangs and detail work; digital heat with auto shutoff.
• Turbo Dryer — salon-speed drying on a budget; Style Switch Air — one tool for drying and styling.
• Porcelain Ceramic dryer — gentler on fine or colour-treated hair.

I didn't get to clippers this round — say the word and I'll pull the BaBylissPRO clipper options.
