I'm 62 and I Finally Found a Styling Tool Made for Short Hair
7 things I wish I'd known when I went short.
→ See the pencil ironI kept my hair long for years. I was scared I'd look less feminine. Then one spring I cut it, and walked out of the salon feeling ten years younger.
Then came the part nobody tells you about: the mornings. If your short hair looks flat every day, it's not your hair. It's your tools.
1. Short Hair Has No Weight to Hold It
Every strand dries wherever the pillow left it: flat on one side, sticking up at the back.
Fine, grey hair needs lift at the root, and none of my tools could get there.
2. Your Old Tools Were Made for Long Hair
My flat iron was too wide to grab anything. My curling iron burned my ear. Rollers had nothing to hold on to.
My stylist said it best: you didn't buy bad tools, you bought tools for long hair.
3. Pencil-Thin Plates That Reach the Root
The Luxara Pencil Iron is 0.65", as thin as a finger. It grabs hair as short as 1 inch, right at the crown, behind the ears, at the nape.
A little lift at the root and my hair looks twice as full.
4. No Burns, Even With Shaky Hands
This is what sold me. Cool air comes out of the vents, so the body stays cool to the touch and you can hold it right next to your ear. I've never seen anything like it.
5. Light, Simple, Gentle on Grey Hair
It weighs next to nothing and fits in your hand. Two buttons, five heat settings. I keep it on 280°F, so my silver hair stays shiny, not fried.
6. Finally, a Tool Designed by a Woman, for Women With Short Hair
Every hair tool in your drawer was designed for long hair, because that's who buys the most. Short hair was an afterthought.
Luxara was created by a woman who went short and couldn't find a single tool that worked. So she made one: thin enough for a pixie, cool enough to hold by your ear, simple enough for a 5-minute morning. Nothing else on the market is built like it.
7. Friends Ask If I've Had Something Done
