Somehow T3 managed to put two hairdriers in one machine. It dries my hair in half the time, and it's not any heavier than my old Featherweight.

This dryer is fantastic! I have thick curly hair and it smoothed all my crazy ringlets in seconds. The comb has really sturdy teeth so they won't break when it hits a tangle or two.

OK, this curling rod is truly outstanding. It has little grips all along the rod, which means your hair won't slip and slide while you're trying to get a curl. I tested this on my sister's hair, which is baby fine, and her curls looked amazing. Genius invention.

My only regret is that I didn't buy this sooner! In one week of owning the brush, I've had three people ask me if I've gotten my highlights re-done because my hair is so shiny.

This is genius. It's basically two steps -- towel drying and combing out kinks -- in one. It's great when you're in a rush and don't have time to deal with sopping wet hair.

A curling iron has never, ever curled my hair ... but then a friend tried this on a piece of my hair, and it worked! So I instantly went out and bought it. My curls last forever, and I dont even have to use hairspray.

This is such a great curling rod invention. The barrel is rectangular rather than round, which gives a looser, beachier wave than the ringlets you usually get with curling wands.

Honorable Mention
You get four different barrel shapes and sizes that attach to one iron. They're easy to switch out, and they work really well. Love!

This is one of the best hair masks I've ever tried! My hair has never felt so soft or cooperated better during styling. Plus, it's insanely hydrating and smells oh-so-yummy. They should bottle the scent up and sell it as a perfume.

I have dry, brittle hair and would never color it at home because I'm afraid it would start breaking off. This hair color completely changed my way of thinking: The brand new technology uses oil to infuse each hair strand with color and hydrate at the same time. In short, it's genius.

Ombre was always an in-salon-only sort of endeavor -- until now. For subtle highlights (one to two shades), this kit is foolproof.

I used this once and fell in love. It heats up in seconds and goes well above 400 degrees. But what really makes it amazing is it's the perfect size for travel, yet big enough to flat iron large sections.
