Ideal: Smoothing Brush

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Round Brush

"This

brush ($68; shuuemuraartofhair-usa.com) is my new favorite styler. The 1/2-inch boar bristles create just the right amount of tension for straightening and smoothing my hair."

Earth Therapeutics Ceramic Styling Brush

"If you’re craving shine and volume, this

brush ($20; earththerapeutics.com) does the trick. The wide barrel makes it easy to add bounce, while the ceramic technology means faster styling and less frizz."

T3 Featherweight Hair Dryer

"This emits ionic energy to neutralize frizz, so my hair ends up shiny and soft. PS: It's the quietest

dryer ($200; bloomingdales.com) I’ve ever tried!"

Revlon Designer Series Shine Boosting Dryer

"What a find! A hair

dryer ($25; target.com) that’s powerful (1,875 watts), lightweight (about one pound), fast (thanks to its ceramic technology), and cute (love the design!)."

Redken Vinyl Glam 02 Mega Shine

"Some shine sprays shellac my hair into limp, flat submission, but this super-fine

mist ($18, redken.com) makes my hair glossy without zapping the volume."

Tresemmé No-Frizz Shine Spray

"This

spray ($5; drugstore.com) adds shine and tames frizz for hours. I use it when I put my hair in a ponytail to keep the flyaways under control."
