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)

Sally Hershberger Style Primer

“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

“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)
