The 7 best hair styling products


1st place: Hairdryer: Valera Professional Ion Hairdryer

Hair styling products test

Finding a good hairdryer is anything but easy. Sure, there are great products, whisper-quiet and powerful, that are beyond reproach and made by top brands. However, these models from GHD or Dyson cost a few hundred euros. Other hairdryers are cheap and offer many features, but when you hold them in your hand, you notice the poor quality. And it is precisely the quality that you should pay attention to in a product that you use every day, that has more than 2,000 watts of power and is used in a damp bathroom! The professional ionic hair dryer from Valera is the perfect compromise. The price of a good 60 euros is absolutely fair, the brand comes from Switzerland and is known for high-quality products that are put together with typical Swiss precision.

Important for us in a modern hairdryer are the workmanship, three temperature settings, an ionic function and the volume. The workmanship of the Valera is impeccable, which also contributes to the low noise level, because the hairdryer hardly vibrates. The motor is partly responsible for both performance and noise. Valera uses a powerful PM-Pro motor that manages with 2,000 watts, is particularly quiet and, in combination with the Smart Airflow Technology developed by Valera for optimised airflow, reduces the blow-drying time by up to 20 percent. The three temperature settings are easy to reach at all times, the hairdryer is very comfortable to hold thanks to its low weight of only 450g without the cable, and the cable also has an integrated swivel joint. A curl diffuser and two nozzles are included as accessories, which rounds off the convincing overall package and earns the Valera hairdryer first place. A professional hairdryer at a fair price that you will enjoy for a long time! 

  • With integrated ionic function for statically charged hair
  • Very light and quiet
  • Companies from Switzerland

2nd place: Straightener: Braun Satin Hair 7 SensoCare Styler

Best hair styling products

The demands on a good Straightener are similar to the hairdryer in many respects. Here, too, there are extreme price jumps from 20 euros to over 200 euros for professional products from GHD. And here, too, we're talking about a hot electric product that, unlike the hairdryer, even still has direct contact with your hair and can cause a corresponding amount of damage if the quality is poor. the Satin Hair 7 Straightener by Braun is one of our favourites among hair styling products.

At just over 50 euros, the price is in the middle range, but Braun delivers very good quality for the money. A special feature is the SensoCare technology: precise sensors under the surface of the ceramic plates detect how moist your hair is, and the intelligent styling technology adjusts the temperature during straightening, from the roots to the tips. In addition to moisture, the iron also detects the speed at which you're straightening and lets you know via a display if you're going too fast or too slow. You can even specify the thickness of your hair to regulate the automatic temperature control even more precisely. The tip is insulated and protects your hand from burns, the rounded edges also allow you to use it for curls. Many users also report beautiful, shiny hair after straightening with the Satin Hair 7. For us, the straightener with the best value for money. Our 2nd place.

  • Automatic temperature control
  • Humidity and speed measurement
  • Insulated tip

3rd place: Curling Iron Remington Curling Iron Pro Soft Curl CI6325

Hair styling products

Usually, a Curling iron less often than a hairdryer or a straightener. That's why we have selected a product for you in this section that offers a particularly good price: the Remington CI6325. At Amazon, the regular price is just under 35 euros, but there are sometimes special offer prices that are even significantly cheaper. Remington delivers solid quality, the simple curling iron immediately makes a good impression. The antistatic ceramic tourmaline coating offers fourfold protection for your hair - one of the most important features for a hair styling product. Also important, especially for a curling iron: the cable has a well-functioning swivel joint. We also like the digital display with 10 temperature settings from 130-220 degrees Celsius - a feature that the smaller sister model with 19 mm diameter, for example, cannot offer. The 25 mm version is suitable for larger curls and thus for rather long hair. We also like the fact that the CI6325 comes up to operating temperature very quickly and the tip is also insulated for heat. 

  • 10 temperature settings + LC display
  • Solid quality from the brand manufacturer
  • 25 mm diameter for longer hair

4th place: Hairbrush Ninabella® Organic Hairbrush

hair styling products

The demands on a good hairbrush vary depending on hair length and thickness. TheBio hairbrush by Ninabella covers a wide range, costs just over 10 euros and is therefore our top hair styling product in the brush category. Two features stand out in particular: the brush succeeds in detangling hair almost without pulling and, thanks to its soft bristles, it is particularly gentle on the scalp. In addition, unlike more expensive models, it does not use boar bristles, but instead relies on a mixture of PP plastic and bio-plastic made from straw residues. The elastic spiral head adapts perfectly to the shape of the head, yields when too much pressure is applied (like the famous Dr. Best toothbrush) and thus not only separates your hair perfectly, but also gives you a gentle head massage at the same time. We like the elastic design and the very good bristle lengths just as much as the sustainable approach and the price. For us, the Ninabella is the top brush for your daily hair care. Hair care.

  • Unique spiral head adapts to the shape of the head
  • Sustainable approach with bio-plastics
  • Very fair price

5th place: Hairspray: Syoss Hairspray Max Hold

Hair styling

When it comes to styling hair, there is practically no way around a good hairspray. But this is where the potential for frustration is particularly high: the hairstyle is still perfect at home in front of the mirror, but barely an hour later everything has fallen apart again. The smell also plays a big role here. And so opinions vary as to the best Hairsprays far apart. Even professional make-up artists use very different brands.

We'll help you with the difficult decision and recommend a hairspray that holds great, smells neutral and is also inexpensive: Max Hold by Syoss. The manufacturer promises 48 hours of hold. We haven't tried it out, but the extra-long hold is well received by users - and we ourselves have had very good experiences with Syoss. Another important point: when you go to bed at night, the spray can be easily brushed out again. The hair remains elastic even when styled. The spray head is also very good - there are many sprays that either only produce a kind of mist or spray too directly. All in all, a top hairspray, in a 6-pack for a good 22 euros - a little more than 3.50 euros per can.  

  • Very good hold for elastic hair
  • Pleasant neutral fragrance
  • Favourable price

6th place: Hair gel L'Oréal Professionnel TecniART Fix Max

Hair Styling Hair Gel

This product should especially delight men: the L'Oréal TecniART Fix Max Hair gel. You usually buy hair gel in the drugstore? Then the price of a good 11 euros might surprise you at first. In fact, the gel is only in the middle range; products from other manufacturers such as Paul Mitchell quickly cost twice as much. In fact, the very good price-performance ratio of the L'Oréal gel is one of the reasons for including it in our test. And what are 11 euros for a product that reliably keeps your hair in shape and even makes hairspray superfluous? In addition to an immediate, very good hold, it also smells pleasant and can be brushed out again without any problems and, above all, without leaving any residue. Even critical users complain at most about the somewhat thin consistency of the Hair gelsBut in the same breath they also praise the very good hold. A tube lasts several months - so it's worth investing the 11 euros. Our favourite among the hair styling products in the hair gel category.

  • Very strong hold
  • Good price-performance ratio
  • A little thin

7th place: Styling paste Paul Mitchell MITCH Reformer

Hair styling products

Those who are bothered by the thin consistency of hair gel, especially the L'Oréal in 6th place, are best served with a styling paste. As with hair gel, the same applies here: It's better to choose a product that keeps the hair securely in shape and pay a few euros more for it. Our favourite is the MITCH Reformer by star hairdresser Paul Mitchell for about 20 euros. Why? Especially men with fine hair benefit from the extra volume that the reformer gives, combined with a pleasantly elastic and very good hold. The hair stays manageable and feels natural. In addition, unlike other products from the range, this paste is matte, which again emphasises the natural dry hair look. For us, this is a top product that not only fuller hair but also feels great and smells pleasant.  

  • High quality product from Paul Mitchell
  • Volume and manageable hair with a strong hold
  • Hair remains elastic

What is a hair styling product?

The term hair styling covers all areas that have something to do with bringing your hair into shape. Depending on the type of hair and the desired hairstyle, completely different products are used here. Almost everyone uses a hairdryer after washing their hair, and practically everyone also needs a brush. It gets more specific in the area of curls and straight hair. Straighteners and curling irons are more for women with longer hair, while hair gels and styling pastes are mostly products for short hairstyles with elaborate styling. Regardless of the exact product, what the entire category of hair styling products has in common is that there are very many brands in practically all price ranges. Finding the perfect product is very difficult. Our test therefore helps you and presents our favourites in the various categories. As a general rule, it's better to buy a better product than to try out several bad products and spend money unnecessarily and produce waste. Your hairstyle should be worth it!

What products do the professionals use?

Anyone who values really good hair styling products naturally prefers to orientate themselves on what the real professionals use. But there are big differences here, too. In the hairdryer sector, for example, hairdressing salons often use high-quality and expensive models from GHD or Parlux, but the Valera hairdryer we presented is also frequently used, as are affordable models from Babyliss. In the field of straighteners and curling irons, GHD products are particularly popular among professional hair and make-up artists. These deliver consistently high quality and shine with durability even under intensive use, but cost significantly more than a typical consumer product. Opinions differ on hairspray and gels, which is often due to the fact that hair salons and stylists maintain business relationships with certain suppliers. Often represented here are, for example, Wella, Goldwell or L'Oréal - also represented in our test. With the products we have tested, you are definitely well advised when it comes to hair styling products. If you are still missing something, simply ask your hairdresser for the desired effect during your next visit.   

The best tips for hair styling

The perfect products are one thing, the right implementation is another. That's why we've put together the most important tips on hair styling for you. We start even before the Blow-dryInstead of rubbing your hair, rub it dry to avoid frizz and to prevent it from breaking off. In addition, it is often advisable not to spray hairspray directly into the hair for styling, but instead onto the hands or brush and only then distribute it through the hair. Only spray it all around the hair at the end to strengthen the hairstyle. You want more volume? Then you should spray some hairspray over your head close to the roots. The same applies to Dry shampoos. Distribute a small amount of the powder at the hairline and your hair will remain natural but look more voluminous. You should use hair paste sparingly. It tends to make the hair look greasy and stick together. It is best to rub the paste into your hands first and then gently and evenly knead it into your hair. Attention: Hair wax and hair paste cannot be combed out, so you should wash them out briefly in the evening.

Frequently asked questions:

Can I also use my straightener for curls?

Yes, you can. The Braun iron in our test is specially rounded at the edge for this purpose.

Do I need an ionic function on the hair dryer?

That depends on your hair. Especially for people with rather thin hair, individual hairs tend to stand out from the head after blow-drying when electrically charged. The ionic function prevents your hair from becoming antistatically charged.

For which hair lengths is styling paste suitable?

The paste works best on short to medium length hair. Here, the paste can still give good hold. Be careful not to apply too much.

How do I get more volume in my hair?

For short hair, Paul Mitchell's Styling Paste will help, for slightly longer and long hair, you can spray some hairspray upside down at the roots or use some Dry shampoo Pour onto the batch.
