Wouldn’t it be nice if every day was a good hair day? It seems like an unattainable goal, but with the right tools, you can at least make your best effort and put your best foot forward. While good hair products, like quality shampoos, conditioners, and styling gels, can make a world of difference, the actual tools you use to style your hair for the day can be the determining factor of a hit or miss hair day. I know I personally have a much better day when I go out feeling and looking my best, and a big part of that is how my hair looks.

Mason Pearson Handy Brush, $175

As any stylist worth their salt will tell you, Mason Pearson brushes are the ultimate grooming tools. The patented pneumatic cushion conforms to the contours of the scalp. At the same time, the nylon and boar bristles glide smoothly through your locks, distributing natural oils, exfoliating the scalp, and stimulating circulation. The result is gleaming, naturally conditioned, more manageable hair. All Mason Pearson brushes are handcrafted in England, using the same time-honored techniques established over 125 years ago.

All of these fabulous “must-have” hair styling tools are my favorites, and I bet they’ll be yours, too! Just make sure you use something to protect your hair from the heat before styling.
