Choose your hair tools around the look you want to create, whether that is a neat everyday bun, a fuller ponytail or a dressed-up braided style. Fashiongirl's range includes bun makers, topsy tails, hair rollers and styling kits to help you try new looks at home without making your routine complicated.
Choose a tool to suit your style
Bun makers and updo tools: A good starting point for shaped buns, tucked-up styles and relaxed updos. Choose these for workday hair or a polished look for a party or wedding.
Topsy tails: Use these to flip a ponytail through itself and create twisted details. They are an easy way to give a simple tied-back style a more finished look.
Braid tools: Helpful guides when you want to practise French, Dutch or waterfall braids and get more confident with the pattern.
Hair rollers and curlers: Choose these for waves, curls and a fuller-looking finish. Compare the roller sizes and check the styling instructions, particularly when choosing thermal rollers.
Bumpits and volume stylers: Create a foundation beneath your hair to add visible height and fullness, especially around the crown.
Bob makers: Try a tucked-under, shorter-looking style without committing to a haircut.
Hair pins and grips: Secure sections and finish your updo. These are useful alongside bun makers and other styling tools.
Consider your hair length and how often you will style it
Before choosing, check the tool's dimensions and how much hair the style needs. For buns and tucked-up looks, you need enough length to wrap or tuck your hair around the tool. If your hair is shorter, focus on smaller sections, half-up styles and grips rather than a full updo. For fine hair, a volume styler or bumpit can help create the appearance of extra fullness.
If you enjoy changing your hairstyle, compare the hair styling kits and their listed contents. A set can give you several ways to experiment, while a single tool makes sense if you have one favourite look in mind. The range also includes a hair oil and serum applicator for precise application to the scalp.
Which hair tools are easiest for beginners?
A bun maker or topsy tail is a practical first choice. Start with a simple bun or flipped ponytail, then try adding twists or braided details as you get used to the technique.
Can I use these styling tools on short hair?
It depends on your hair length and the individual tool. Pins, grips and some smaller stylers can help with shorter sections, while wrap-around buns and tucked-under styles need enough length to form the shape. Check the product details before choosing.
