Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
Styling Tool
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
Scalp-sensing tech dials the heat down as the dryer gets close to your roots, which you'll notice most if you blow-dry daily. At $444 it's hard to justify if you don't.

Dyson Corrale Straightener
Styling Tool
Dyson Corrale Straightener
Cordless, with flexing plates that gather hair as they close so fewer strands take the full heat. One charge covers a single styling session on long hair, which is fine right up until you want a second pass.

Shark FlexStyle 2-in-1 Air Styler
Styling Tool
Shark FlexStyle 2-in-1 Air Styler
Four attachments on one handle, so it dries and styles without reaching for a separate round brush. It's the cheaper answer to the Dyson Airwrap, though swapping heads mid-style gets fiddly.

GHD Chronos Straightener
Straightener
GHD Chronos Straightener
Motion-responsive sensors adjust the heat as you move, and the plates get there fast enough that you are not standing around waiting. It only straightens, so if you want one tool that dries as well, this is not it.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
Luxury Hair
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
Adds grit and volume to second-day hair without the crunch cheaper texture sprays leave behind. It's $83 a can, and the signature scent is strong enough that some people can't wear it.

Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil
Luxury Hair
Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil
A few drops through damp mid-lengths cuts frizz and brings back shine, and it protects up to 232°C so it doubles as your heat shield. It's $52 for a small bottle, which stings until you see how little you need.
