1 GOLDEN LOCKS

Not too stiff or too flimsy, these brushes are juuust right. The long bristles tackle knots without breaking strands; the short ones smooth frizz. And they’re gentle enough for wet or dry hair. The Ultimate Detangler Chrome, $19 each; us.tangleteezer.com

2 REPAIR SERVICE

This is like CPR for my hair. I comb a few pumps through damp strands to help fix damage, improve the look of split ends, and boost shine. It's also a heat protectant. Dove Intensive Repair 10-in-1 Serum, $10; amazon.com
