1. A Remington wand capable of doing the Impossible (yes, Impossible with a capital "I"). This miracle tool allows even the straightest of manes to hold the most beautiful beach waves: Just wrap your hair around the barrel, wait a few seconds, and you're done! Minimal effort required. Several tears shed.
2. A Neutrogena clarifying shampoo because that ten pounds of dry shampoo you used two days ago is still trapped in your roots, but have no fear! This anti-residue wash deep cleans build-up that would otherwise lead to lack of body, excessive grease, and *gulp* stringiness.
3. A shampoo brush to stimulate your scalp and improve circulation, which is said to lead to speedier hair growth. This is especially great to know if you got a two-inch trim last year and SURPRISE it's only grown one centimeter since.
4. A cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo that nips brassiness in the bud. The violent pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits meaning you can SAVE A TON OF MONEY. Easy + affordable? Someone pinch me.
5. An HSI straightener designed with ceramic, tourmaline crystal ion plates that evenly distribute heat with every pass. This means you'll have to run over individual sections of hair a fewer amount of times to straighten it, thus preventing unnecessary heat damage. What's fried? Your food! But not your hair!
6. A Moroccanoil treatment that uses a blend of vitamins and argan oil to tame flyaways, mend split-ends, speed up drying time, and boost shine. If you're looking for definitive proof that heaven is a place on earth, look no further than this haircare jack of all trades.
7. A Shea Moisture cream ideal for thicker hair, as this adds all-day hydration and shine without weighing down your 'do. It even works to tighten and define your curls in the process AKA Shirley Temple ringlets are in 👏 your 👏 future 👏.
8. A Bumble and Bumble oil primer that protects hair from the drying dangers of sun exposure and heat damage. Just consider this the sunscreen of your daily haircare routine — except this simultaneously fights frizz and won't ruin color-treated tresses.
9. A Celeb Luxury color depositing shampoo to turn your ~Pinterest pastel~ dreams into a reality (no expensive or time-consuming trips to the salon required). *uses shampoo once* *posts 'gram pic with the hashtag #hairgoals*
10. A ginseng extract John Frieda hair serum for a lightweight, won't-weigh-your-hair-down fix that acts as both a heat protectant *and* a frizz tamer in even the most humid weather. 🎶 Let the rain fall down, it no longer effects my hair. 🎶
11. An Aquis hair towel designed with a microfiber construction that is super-absorbent and cuts drying time by up to half — meaning you'll be able to spend less time on your hair and more time on things that matter. Another episode of The Office, anyone?
12. A foldable Conair hair dryer you can fit into any corner of your bursting-at-the-seams suitcase. This may be small, but it is mighty enough that you can expect a salon-quality blowdry even whilst on vacation. Take that, hotel dryer that takes 90 minutes to dry exactly one (1) small strand of hair.
13. Flexible curling rods that allow you to wake up with ready-to-go hair. These are pros at giving you the perfect waves without subjecting your 'do to any more heat damage and what's that? It's the sound of my burnt split-ends and weak upper arms crying tears of relief.
14. An OGX shampoo to add a much-needed dose of moisture (AKA goodbye dry, itchy flakes on your scalp) and which contains the invigorating scent of peppermint to give you a jolt of energy even a 10th cup of coffee can’t deliver.
15. A knotted headband that doesn't slip, won't give you the dreaded ~headband headache~, and looks fantastic. Who's going to purchase this in all 26 available colors? Me! And probably you.
16. A Kenra finishing spray for a mega dose of volume, shine, and hold. Feel confident knowing that the hour-long session you had straightening your humidity-hating hair this AM won’t be in vain — this stuff will truly hold every flyaway in place.
17. A Revlon one-step dryer because your arm is already sore from balancing both a dryer and a round brush. This easy-to-use tool promises a salon-quality, shampoo commercial-worthy blowout and all you'll have to do is, well, brush through your hair. *patiently waits for royalty check*
18. Seamless Burlybands hair ties that won't stretch, break, slip, OR damage your mane, nor will you have to halt your workout to fix your ponytail because this band will actually stay in place. If you have super thick locks, meet your new tiny soulmate.
19. A Sexy Hair texturizing powder you simply dab into your roots, then throughout your hair, and bam! It'll instantly liquify to provide fullness and slight tackiness to make your hot tool so much more effective.
20. A Briogeo micro-exfoliating shampoo to replace product build-up and dry flakes with a moisturized, soothed scalp. If you've been trying to grow out your mid-length 'do for, oh, forever, then this is a must-try; it's actually packed with panthenol (a #fancy vitamin) to strengthen your hair at the root.
21. A Hair Dance powder dry shampoo that is especially great at vacuuming up grease and adding body sans any leftover chalky white residue. Pro tip: If you add some into your roots before bed, you'll wake up with a completely refreshed scalp that looks like it was shampooed five minutes ago (...as opposed to five days ago).
22. An Xtava diffuser to give you the most *chef kisses fingers* defined curls of your life. This tool is designed with 360 degree airflow, which is just a fancy way of saying that heat is evenly distribute to dry each strand to perfection without causing any unwanted frizz in the process.
23. A Sun Bum leave-in spray that enlists the hydrating benefits of coconut and sunflower seed oil to give hair what it needs this summer: MOISTURE. Not only will this counteract the drying effects of sun and chlorine, but it even works as a de-tangler to help your brush glide right through each strand.
24. A boar bristle brush to evenly distribute all 👏 that 👏 oil 👏 from root to tip because oil at your roots = super flat hair. Detangling and volumizing at the same time? Talk about sorcery. The Harry Potter kind.
25. An eco-friendly Ethique shampoo bar you'll want to purchase ASAP because a) it adds a ton of body to even the finest of tresses and b) just one bar is the equivalent of three bottles of liquid shampoo. Volume + money saved = my definition of bliss.
26. Mini hair pins to give you the ballerina bun of your pirouette-packed dreams. Just one of these little pins can do the work of up to *20* hair pins, ridding the need of those excessive random pins that would otherwise just dig into your scalp.
27. An Aveda daily treatment for dead hair in need of some major TLC. This 98% naturally-derived blend works to combat four types of damage (environmental, chemical, physical, and heat) while reducing breakage by up to 90% in about a week.
28. A volumizing got2b thickening mousse with instant collagen to add elasticity and strength. In English? It'll help your "I spent 45 minutes with a hot tool in my hands" style hold all day, whether that style is super curly or stick straight.
29. An OGX coconut water oil that contain electrolytes said to hydrate even the most brittle, damaged hair...without making it look like you haven't showered in seven weeks/weighing your hair down.
