Speaking on the tool’s incredible features, Wright-Horn shared, “ The RED+ Styling Iron heats up quickly to a temperature that suits all hair types. Plus, it’s designed with a safety cap at 400°F, preventing excessive heat that can cause damage. Additionally, each Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron is compact, lightweight, and designed for convenience. It comes with a heat-resistant carry bag, a USB Type-C cable, and a silicone tip guard—making it a complete package for effortless styling that’s perfectly sized to fit into any on-the-go stylist’s kit.”

But impressive features aside, the RED+ Styling Iron is also pleasing to the eyes with its bold, red finish. It’s certainly a statement piece in your styling arsenal that will win you compliments from clients and others pros alike.

For those of you wondering to make the most of the RED+ Styling Iron, Wright-Horn shared some of her best tips below. Keep scrolling for her insights.

Pro Tips for Using the Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron

  1. Keep Your Pixie Heat Charged: As the saying goes, “When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.” Keep your Pixie Heat on the charger whenever it’s not in use, so it’s always powered up and ready when you need it.
  2. Double Up for Maximum Efficiency: For short-hair stylists, the freedom of a cordless iron is a game-changer. Having two Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Irons in your kit ensures you can work at a top speed, whether you’re curling, styling, or making quick touch-ups. If you’re often on set or doing back-to-back clients, a second unit saves time and keeps you fully prepared.
  3. Protect the Hair: Like any hot tool, using a heat protectant is essential for maintaining hair health. We highly recommend Pixie Heat Shine & Scalp Oil to keep hair nourished, protected, and looking flawless.
  4. Experiment & Get Creative: The versatility of the Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron let you create a variety of styles—waves, curls, sleek finishes, and edgy textures. Don’t be afraid to push the limits and experiment. You hold the creative power in your hands!

The Pixie Heat RED+ Styling Iron currently retails for $99 and is available for purchase on the Pixie Heat website. For all things Pixie Heat, be sure to follow @pixieheat on Instagram.
