"The only dry shampoo I’ll ever use! It’s great for absorbing oil and restoring body. I use it when I want to give my hair a break from being washed. But don’t overdo it-a little goes a long way.” ($7, freemanbeauty.com)

Conair Thermal Ionic Velcrorollers

“Velcro rollers are a nondamaging way to get sexy, voluminous hair. I like these because the Velcro is really strong, so the rollers stick to your hair-you don’t need clips to secure them.” ($9/5, conair-stores.com)

“This product gives great lift, plus it’s weightless so you can still run your fingers through your hair without the stickiness. Spray damp roots before blow-drying, and you’ll end up with dramatically thicker-looking hair.” ($12.50, ulta.com)

Krest Rattail Comb

“A rattail comb is perfect for creating a sharp middle or side part. The tail end makes drawing a straight line a no-brainer.” ($4, sallybeauty.com)

“I’ve been using this wax since I started doing hair! It gives short, piecey styles the perfect texture without looking too greasy. Rapidly rub a dime-size amount between your palms to warm it up so it goes on smooth, not gloppy.” ($3, amazon.com)

“In the summer before I go out in the sun, I pour this lemon juice in a spray bottle and spritz it all over my hair. It helps lighten highlights and gives hair a sunkissed look. I’ve been doing this trick since I was a teenager!” ($3, at grocery stores)

Sally Hershberger Style Primer

Courtesy Sally Hershberger

“I created this because it’s hard to find a good wave enhancer. Rake two pumps of it through damp strands, twist hair into six pieces, secure with clips. Let dry 15 minutes. Remove the clips: You’ll have unbelievable Gisele waves.” ($12.50, ulta.com)

Goody Ouchless Bobby Pins

Courtesy Goody

“Bobby pins are essential for the beach or whenever you want your hair off of your face. I especially like this kind because they don’t snag or pull. If you have fine hair, crisscross two together so they don’t slip out.” ($3, amazon.com)
