Halo

Which Halo styling tools suit your hair type?

The right Halo hairstyling tool depends on your hair type, texture and the style you're after. Here's how the range breaks down so you can find your match:

• Fine to medium hair: The X25 Ceramic and X25 Titanium hair straighteners are your go-to, with 25mm floating plates and far-infrared technology that warms your hair gently from the inside out, so you get smooth, shiny results without excessive heat. For faster coverage, the X42 Ceramic Extra Wide lets you move through larger sections in fewer passes with its 42mm plates.
• Thick, coarse or curly hair: The X30 Titanium Wide hair straightener is made for thicker, denser hair. You get 30mm titanium floating plates that glide through larger sections without snagging, and far-infrared technology to protect your hair with every pass.
• Curling, drying and everyday styling: The X3 Titanium 3-Piece Hair Curler gives you three interchangeable barrels for everything from tight spirals to soft, beachy waves. The X1 Hot Brush detangles and smooths your hair in one pass, and the X3800 Ceramic Hair Dryer gives you a frizz-free blowout with ceramic and infrared heat technology and 2000W of power.

Want styling flexibility in a single hot tool? The X2 Ceramic Interchangeable straightener lets you flip between 25mm and 42mm ceramic plates to suit different styles and sections!

Halo ceramic vs. titanium hair straighteners

Both titanium and ceramic hair straighteners use far-infrared technology and an ionic generator to smooth your hair and add shine. The real question is which plate material and width works best for your hair type.

Ceramic technology heats your hair gently and evenly, and that’s why the X25 Ceramic and X42 Ceramic Extra Wide suit fine and medium hair. You get a smooth, shiny finish without compromising hair health.

The X25 Titanium also works well for fine to medium hair, with the same 25mm plate size as its ceramic counterpart. Got thick, coarse or curly hair? Check out the X30 Titanium Wide. Its wider 30mm plates glide through larger sections with less effort, so you spend less time styling.

All models come with digital temperature controls from 90°C to 230°C, so you can set the optimal heat for your hair.

How to use your Halo hair straightener

To get the best results from your Halo hair straightener, starting with the right prep makes all the difference in your final look. Consistent technique helps you achieve a sleek, salon-quality finish without exposing your strands to more heat than necessary. Follow these steps:

1. Spritz a heat protectant spray over dry or damp hair before you start. It shields your strands from heat damage.
2. While your straightener heats up, place it on a heat mat and divide your hair into manageable sections, clipping them away from your face.
3. Take a small section and glide the styler from root to tip in one smooth, even pass.
4. Keep going, section by section, until you've styled all your hair.
5. Finish with a few drops of hair oil for shine and hydration, then set your style with a light hairspray.

Your Halo straightener also works for waves and curls. Take a small section, clamp the styler near the root, twist it away from your face as you slowly glide down to the ends, and release for a soft, natural-looking wave.

How to use your Halo hair curler

To use your Halo hair curler, start by selecting the barrel that best fits your desired style. Using the right technique for your hair type helps you achieve a lasting, professional look while keeping your strands healthy.

The X3 Titanium 3 Piece Hair Curler comes with three interchangeable barrels. Use the 18mm to 25mm conical barrel for tighter curls, the 25mm barrel for defined curls or the 32mm barrel for soft, loose waves. Follow these steps:

1. Before you switch your curler on, apply a heat protectant spray to dry or damp hair.
2. Attach your chosen barrel and let the curler heat up. Digital temperature controls let you adjust the heat between 140°C and 200°C to suit your hair type.
3. Part your hair into sections and pin each one out of the way.
4. Take a 1-inch section, wrap it around the barrel with the curler tipping downwards and curl away from your face. Hold for 3 to 5 seconds, then release.
5. Let each curl cool in the palm of your hand to help set them in place.
6. Work through the rest of your hair the same way, then finish with a curl enhancer or your favourite finishing styling product.
