Hair Accessories & Styling Tools

Hair accessories and styling tools form the basis of daily hair care routines. Manual accessories such as brushes, combs, hair ties, clips and pins assist with detangling, sectioning and securing styles. Choosing the right brush depends on hair type: natural bristles add shine, while synthetic bristles and wide-tooth combs are better for detangling wet or curly hair to reduce breakage.

Electrical styling tools such as hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons require particular attention to safety. Devices should carry CE marking and specify compatibility with 230 V mains used in Switzerland. Features like temperature control, cool-shot functions and an automatic shut-off increase safety and improve styling results. Coatings such as ceramic or titanium and ionic technologies promote even heat distribution and reduce hot spots.

Heat protection products can help minimise damage but are not substitutes for correct tool use. Adjust temperature to hair type, avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, and allow hair to cool before further manipulation. For travel, check voltage compatibility or use dual-voltage models designed for international use.

Maintenance and hygiene extend product life. Clean brushes regularly, remove hair build-up, and follow manufacturer guidance for cleaning filters and surfaces. Store electrical devices in a dry place and avoid cable strain. Repairs should be undertaken by authorised technicians. For scalp issues or persistent irritation, seek professional medical advice.
