Even if my emotions about my wild, wangly hair are difficult, I like hair tools. But why get them in boring colours like black and grey when you will get pink Barbie ones? Everything is best when it’s pink.

Barbie-branded equipment aren’t exactly new, however as you could or could not know (we knew) Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is popping out quickly. We’re seeing extra collaborations with the well-known doll, which incorporates Chi’s newest line of hair instruments. This travel kit features a mini flat iron and foldable hair dryer, which is unfortunately not fairly sufficiently small to make use of on Barbie herself. Each is adorned with Barbie’s cute doll head emblem and packaged in a cute pink, blue, and inexperienced case.

All Pink Everything

The Chi X Barbie mini hair dryer jogs my memory of a budget ones you would possibly discover at a lodge. Obviously it is cuter in bubblegum pink, however in the event you’ve used a kind of, you will acknowledge the ability compromise. It’s not as highly effective as a full-size dryer, however you may fold it up and throw it in a bag or a packed toilet drawer with out taking on prime actual property. It works nicely for its measurement, but it surely does not have separate warmth and velocity settings. Instead, there are simply two settings: medium warmth makes use of medium velocity and excessive warmth makes use of the next velocity.

You’ll discover a small concentrator attachment within the bag, which is for focusing on air move and is very useful for blowouts. There’s no diffuser. That’s the norm with most journey dryers, though we advocate the Paul Mitchell’s compact handle-free dryer that comes with a collapsible diffuser. That’s an ideal possibility for touring.

I simply assume diffusers want extra love—us curlies want them. You may pair this with the Rizos Curl’s pink collapsible diffuser to match or some other transportable one—even an inexpensive Hot Sock would work, although I do not assume they’re as good to make use of as an precise diffuser. The finest situation is to pair it with a bonnet dryer hood.
