Must-Have Hair Tools

There are just certain hair items every girl should own because it makes that special time in front of the mirror getting all dolled up so much more smooth. Discovering the stand up hair blow dryer to keep at home has saved us time from having to go to the salon for a good blow dry. Target or Sally's Beauty Supply have some pretty affordable stand up hair blow dryers. Having a hand hair blow dryer is a must too and having a diffuser attached to it is essential to really dry the roots of your hair. We are always fans of Chi Products so we recommend their hair blow dryers with the diffuser tip though we are interested in trying the Kardashian Beauty Premium Finish Hair Dryer. Other Must-Have Hair Tools include:

• Curling Iron Holder-protect your curling iron, especially when you're traveling. Not to mention, we all have those days where we are quickly rushing out the door and don't want to leave the hot curling iron chilling on the counter!
• Hot Roller Set- For those days you need a quick overnight curl!
• Dyson Tangle-Free Turbine Tool- Okay, so this isn't necessarily a tool for your hair, but it picks up your hair from the floor and carpet. So essential!
• Personal Hair Organizer- Save time scrambling for all of your hair tools and keep them in one place with this personal hair organizer!
• lastly, you can't go too far without a hair tool set featuring various combs and clips! Check out the T3 Smooth Operator Hair Tool Set. They have all of that!

10 Curl Commandments

If there is anyone who knows a thing or two about curls, it is our It Girl, Marisa Simone. Do you want some nice curls? Or better yet, would you like to maintain them? Well, Marisa dishes with us how to maintain perfect curly hair. Just follow her '10 Curl Commandments' and you will be ready to rock some playful curls!

1. Sleep on a satin pillow case

• It will reduce dryness and breakage and hold some of the moisture in.

2. Detangle to protect your perfect mane

• Use a wide tooth comb; never a brush.

3. Limit heat use on your hair

• Heat pulls out moisture from curls, makes them dry and shapeless. 

4. Shampoo less

• It is not necessary to shampoo your hair every day, try for every other day. 

5. Condition, condition, condition!

• The curlier the hair, the longer it takes for natural oils to travel from the scalp to the ends. 

6. Style when wet

• The tamest your hair will ever be is when it is wet. You will have much more control.

7. Read the ingredients of the products you use

• Limit products with alcohol in them to avoid that crunchy, ramen noodle look!

8. Leave it alone!

• Towel or blow drying can cause a bigger mess then just letting your hair dry naturally.

9. Make sure to diffuse 

• If you must blow dry always use a diffuser, the regular nozzle changes your curl pattern. 

10. Love your hair no matter what!

• We always want what we can’t have, so just think about all the girls out there pining for luscious, curly locks!
