best beginner friendly hair styling tool

hi guys, need some advice. i will be getting a hair styling tool soon. i need your help choosing which one

• i will mostly be using it to style my bangs, maybe the rest of my hair occasionally but i'm leaning more towards heatless curls for the rest of my hair
• trying to MINIMIZE heat damage
• MINIMUM frizz causing tools
• i absolutely cannot do a blow out with a normal hairdryer and round brush, so i'm concerned that i won't properly be able to use the blow brush. how easy is it to use for an absolute beginner?
• so i've been leaning towards a straightener since i'm not very good with blow outs or diffusing

appreciating reviews, experiences, tips and product reccos (from any brand!). thank you in advance
