Best of Hair Tools

Let’s talk about the styling items that became fast favorites by the masses. These front-runners stood out in more ways than one. They’ve been called, among other things, “ground-breaking,” “amazing,” and “timesaving,” time and time again. Without further ado, let’s get a little more acquainted with these wonderful must-haves.

Let’s kick things off with the Gold ‘N Hot

Professional Ionic Hair Dryer and

Styler. A truly unique drying experience. A large paddle brush combined with a powerful blow-dryer provides a tangle-free drying experience - you can understand the excitement here! The innovative design dries and straightens large sections of hair in one step. It’s styling made simple, not to mention quick. Plus, Ionic Technology speeds up drying even further, helping reduce heat damage. Hellooo, healthy-looking shine.

Speaking of easy drying and styling, another Gold ‘n Hot chart-topper is the Professional Ionic Volumizer - a 2-in1 with salon-quality purpose. Powerful, precise drying and styling is what you get with this handy tool. An oval brush design gives you what styling dreams are made of, a round brush hair dryer combination. Equipped with soft, flexible detangling bristles, you gently detangle, dry and create styles full of volume, body, and fullness in one single step. Ionic and Ceramic Technology help prevent damage along the way, so you’re left with smooth, healthylooking, ready-to-go styles.

Two crowd-pleasing hair dryers, which have simplified the day-to-day, delivered gorgeous performances suited for countless hair needs and styles and delighted naturalhaired darlings everywhere. Start the year on a high note. Treat yourself or a special someone to the gift of gorgeous (easy) hair!

Fluid Volume 2 An Andis Hair Tech Publication

By Kenny Duncan

Andis US Team Lead Educator

The latest Andis style and education collection fusing high fashion with cutting-edge techniques is here! Featuring five step-by-step styles in both print and video, this collection is dedicated to embracing heritage and the natural beauty of multi-cultural, textured hair. Plus, it showcases the latest tools from Andis– the new Slimline® Pro GTX™ trimmer and Copper ProFoil® shaver.

Embracing diversity is important, especially in the barbering industry, where understanding different hair types is key to success. In Fluid Vol. 2, Andis has produced a hair pattern chart that defines what type of hair each client has. Knowing which hair pattern type(s) barbers or stylists will be working with, will influence the final cut length of hair. The collection features two female and three male models, with hair pattern types ranging from a 2C to a 4C, providing a great range of instruction for the different hair types identified. Two styles from Fluid Vol. 2 – the Classic Philly, a wavy brush cut with faded nape and temples, and the Tignon Drop, a naturally curled mohawk with faded sides and a free-flowing design – are great examples of how this collection focuses on techniques primarily used on curly hair. Techniques include creating symmetrical hairlines, freehand trimming, creating designs and fading with and without attachment combs. Both your professional and home haircutters will benefit from this content.

Selecting the right tools for these different hair types is crucial, and the Slimline Pro GTX trimmer and Copper Pro Foil shaver deliver on creating precision cuts. I would suggest placing these new Andis tools in the line of sight of your register to increase both awareness and impulse purchases.
