1. A fan-favorite Wet brush with almost 3,000 five-star reviews for a reason. It'll detangle even the most stubborn hair...WITHOUT ripping it from your scalp.

Get it from Amazon for $7.53+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "This brush is frigging magic. I would have never considered purchasing this if I had seen it in a store, the bristles are very 'flimsy' and I would have assumed it would do nothing to my super thick, curly, coarse (currently bleach-damaged) long hair that turns into a cavewoman wig by the end of one day. The great reviews persuaded me to give it a try. SO happy with the results! The brush is very gentle and I see very little hair on the brush even after going through the worst of rats' nests. it is simply amazing. this would be perfect for anyone, definitely a great brush for a parent brushing children's hair. I was so tired of brushing my hair I was actually considering chopping it off. So happy I tried this brush first!! If you are on the fence, order this sucker! It is a game changer!" —Jen Downy

2. A L'Oreal blowout priming spray that'll cut down your drying time while protecting your hair from heat damage (because your arms don't need a whole workout when you're trying to get ready), all while achieving salon-quality softness.

3. A canister of Batiste dry shampoo so your third day hair (or fifth day hair) can look as good as when it's freshly washed and styled. Plus it adds a boost of volume.

Get the original scent from Amazon for $5.99 (available in tons of scents and colors for blending into hair).

Promising review: "Tried the rest, this one is the best. I have long, thick hair that usually stays pretty clean if I wash it every other day, but I've been trying to make curls last the elusive third day. I've tried several kinds of spray dry shampoo and always found that they either didn't do a good job absorbing the oil, or stayed white no matter what I did to rub them in, often both. I tried the original formula/scent, & I think it smells lovely. The spray goes on white (I didn't try the tinted kind) & then you massage it in for 30 seconds & BOOM. Body & volume like crazy, no greasy spots. This is definitely going into the new 'must have' for me. I can't emphasize this enough, I have used it on clean hair just to boost the volume!" —Susurrus

4. A mini flat iron perfect for keeping in your suitcase so you never forget your favorite hot tool again. This bb heats up to 400° (and does it quickly) so you can get ready in no time flat — and out the door enjoying your vacation.

5. A boar- and nylon-bristle teasing brush so you can take your hairstyling abilities ~to new heights~ with just a few quick strokes.

6. A travel-size curling wand with a tapered barrel and no clip for effortless wave styles.

7. A microfiber towel turban that'll dry your hair (without causing damage or frizz). And it buttons easily in the back so the whole thing won't go sliding off your head when you're sitting watching TV.

8. A cleansing conditioner with tangerine and coconut and castor seed oils to gently remove buildup while intensely moisturizing your hair. Just massage it into your scalp (like you would a normal shampoo), detangle, and rinse.

9. A two-in-one Dove hair serum and oil that'll strengthen and add shine to your hair, nourishing your strands from the outside with its powerful red algae and keratin formula. Split ends, you've met your match.

10. A set of synthetic clip-in extensions to look like you grew mermaid-worthy hair overnight. We're talking 2,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, too!

11. A collagen-infused ~protein treatment~ for an intense at-home mask that'll help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair is what I'm saying.

12. A curl-activating cream with shea butter and coconut oil to smooth and define your natural curl pattern so your hair won't be frizzy (and you won't feel frazzled).

13. A Not Your Mother's thickening hair lifter in a cool Windex-style bottle so you can turn the volume up to 11 on any style you choose.

14. A vented paddle brush to make giving yourself a blowout with a hair dryer and a brush less intimidating (the vents let the hot air through, drying your hair as you comb through it — magic!).

15. A semi-permanent L'Oréal hair color that'll convince people you shelled out the big bucks for pastel hair at the salon — but without the expense or commitment.

16. A high-control hairspray with 48-hour hold that'll look at the humidity levels... and laugh.

17. A borderline-magical Invisibobble spiral hair tie for anyone sick and tired of waking up with a big ole dent in their hair. Creases be gone!

18. A manuka honey mask packed with powerful ingredients like mafura oil, shea butter, baobab oil, African rock fig, and honey (duh!) to lock in moisture and say farewell to frizz.

19. A satin pillowcase to help maintain hair health even as you sleep, reducing frizz and breakage when compared with regular cotton or other fiber pillowcases.

20. A set of foam curling rods so an amazing head of twists and curls is only one sleep away. Wrap your hair around the outside, twist the flexible rod into a loop, c-, or s-shape and then... go to bed!

21. An overnight sleeping mask that'll help you wake up to the best hair day ever. Just pop on the mask (it comes in a handy cap to keep everything neat), hit the hay, and wake up to totally hydrated and restored hair.

22. A pack of incredibly durable hair elastics specially designed for thick hair. We're talking no tugging, no slipping, and no stretching out. 🙌

23. A John Frieda sea salt spray so you can pretend that summer isn't about to end. Keep it going with beachy, effortless waves that look like you just came from the seaside, plus the most delicious coconut smell ever.

24. A scalp brush that'll exfoliate and get rid of buildup, help your shampoo do its job better, and stimulate your circulation. Bonus: it'll also feel really amazing, like a massage at a fancy hair salon.

25. A set of hair elastics with rubber treading to make sure they stay in place on even the slipperiest hair and during even the most intense workouts.

26. A volume-boosting clarifying shampoo you can use every few washes to remove all the product residue and buildup you've accumulated with styling.

27. A pack of four wrap-style headbands for the easiest (but still cute) hairdo ever. Plus they'll make you sing John Legend's iconic Instagram song "headband of the day."
