Goody QuickStyle Paddle Brush:  Any tool that makes it quicker and easier to do my hair is a must have for me.  With my course mane taking over 2 hours to blow dry and straighten, I became obsessed with the new Goody QuikStyle Paddle brush, which has microfiber materials in between each of the bristles to speed up drying time.  That’s right, the material, which reminds me of a super soft towel reduces water by 30%, making my blow drying time a lot more painless.

Infiniti by Conair Professional Tourmaline Ionic Styler:  Speeding up my blow drying time even further is the Conair Tourmaline Ionic Styler.  The handheld dryer is way easier to use than the traditional blow dryer.  It comes with three different bristles that allow me to get all the baby hairs on my head as straight as I want it to be.  It comes with two different heat settings plus a cooling function.  I use the styler midweek to spruce up my edges, which normally get curly again after showers or washing my face.

Bumble and bumble Color Minded Shampoo:  As a hair color fiend, I rely on color protecting shampoos to keep my color looking brilliant longer.  I am a big fan of the Bumble and Bumble’s Color Minded Shampoo, which does a thorough job of removing dirt and oils from my hair without stripping the color.  I also love how it smell.s

Conair Brush Gel Grips Soft Gel Handle Round Brush: Among my plethora of hair brushes in my beauty box is the Conair round brush with tiny bristles that smooths my hair, giving it a nice sheen even before applying any hair product.  With a tiny twirl of my wrist, this brush gives me a curl on the ends of my hair.

TIGI Catwalk Sleek Haute Iron Spray: I got a few samples of TIGI’s Catwalk hair products last year during fashion week and can’t get enough of them.  The Haute Iron Spray protects my hair from the high heat of my heat styling tools and it helps that it smells amazing.

TIGI Orange Handle 1″ Wand Iron:  Creating soft, touchable curls is a cinch with the TIGI curling rod, which make sit easy for me to create my Charleze Theron curly bob easily.

TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Blow Out Balm:  I love a good blowout, which is why I use the TIGI Catwalk Mystique blowout Balm before blow drying my hair.  It has a blend of dragon fruit and bamboo to give a straight style with long-term hydration.

L’Oreal Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray: My updos are never completed without L’Oreal’s Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray.   This spray keeps my hair in place all night even after taking a turn on the sweater dance floor.
