TikTok has put us on to so many new things — new recipes, music, DIY [1] projects, makeup hacks [2], and, most of all, new products. Every time we open the app, we somehow end up on Amazon shortly after with at least five things in our cart. (True story.) We have the skin-care experts, makeup artists, hairstylists, and incredibly talented beauty enthusiasts who moonlight as such to thank for this — not that we're complaining or anything.
Although we could never grow tried of makeup dupes [3] and affordable skin-care finds [4], there's nothing like finding a new game-changing, or routine-changing [5], TikTok-famous hair tool [6]. Hot tools are typically expensive, so it's nice to know that your money is being well spent, and if there's one thing TikTok is good for, it's completely candid and unfiltered reviews.
Don't let the look of these innovative — and in some cases, kind of weird-looking — heat styling tools scare you away from giving them a try. The videos and their thousands of likes and comments speak for themselves — these are the most popular hair tools [7] on TikTok.
CHI Spin and Curl Ceramic Rotating Curler
The CHI Spin and Curl Ceramic Rotating Curler [8] ($100) works by pulling hair into its spinning curl chamber with a simple press of a button. It may sound scary at first, but this viral TikTok hair tool has been vetted by one of our editors, and it really works.
Vloom Classic 1.5"
Nobody likes flat roots, and the Vloom Classic 1.5" [9] ($140) is a solution for that. This unique-looking flat iron has racked up a large following on TikTok for its ability to add lift to roots with just a few quick passes.
Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer
We'll put it this way: we haven't met a single person that isn't a fan of the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer [10] ($42) yet. From TikTok users to our own editors, people swear by this round brush heat styling tool for at-home blowouts.
Alure Three Barrel Curling Iron Wand with LCD Temperature Display
Unless you've been blessed by the hair gods, you know effortless beachy waves are usually anything but. It typically takes a number of products and hair tools to master this style, but the Alure Three Barrel Curling Iron Wand with LCD Temperature Display [11] ($35) is changing that. This Amazon find is making waves on TikTok (sorry, bad pun) for its ability to give you tousled hair without breaking the bank.
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Professional Curl Machine
If you search "hair tools" on TikTok, you'll spot the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Professional Curl Machine [12] ($130) in more than just a few videos. It automatically forms perfectly-shaped curls and has a steam setting that helps increase definition in the hair.
