Who doesn’t love a good hair day? We know we do.

While several factors play into how your hair looks — hair type and texture, humidity, and more — the use of a few good hair tools and products can certainly help the style situation.

With this in mind, we’ve rounded up five of our favourite hair tools and tinctures to consider adding into your routine, no matter your hair texture. These products are editor-tested and approved.

This hair brush from the Toronto-based brand Thic has a luxe feel thanks to a lightweight metallic-toned body and gold-hued bristles. The cushion brush is designed to gently detangle strands without snagging or breaking. Created by hairstylists and suitable for all hair types, this brush also delivers a scalp massage with each stroke thanks to its smooth wire bristles.

The perfect one-and-done blow dry brush for those who like a sleek blowout, this styling brush from Dyson features a dual bristle technology to help provide the perfect tension when you’re taking strands from wet to dry. The PivotFlex bristles and controlled air flow produces less snagging and a smoother finish. Thanks to a powerful air output, hair drying time is cut down significantly.  Plus, it’s a lot easier to wield than a separate blowdryer and brush.

This is the ultimate travel comb. From the Hotel Holts limited-edition holiday collection from the Canadian department store Holt Renfrew, which features hotel-inspired pieces such as a toothbrush, tote bag and more, this tortoiseshell-coloured comb comes with a red velvet sleeve to keep it clean while you’re on the go. The slim-toothed comb is perfect for your purse, travel bag — or to get started on early holiday gifting.

Another heat-styling tool that’s designed for streamlined styling, this infrared round brush from the Canadian brand Quo Beauty can be used to smooth, add volume or create curls on dry hair. Featuring four heat settings, the ceramic-barrel device styles hair using lower temperatures than standard hot tools thanks to the infrared technology.

A good hair day doesn’t have to come with heat. The bestselling Air Dry Cream from the brand JVN by celebrity stylist Jonathan van Ness helps to enhance curls, reduce frizz and extend the life of a hairstyle thanks to ingredients such as chia seed extract, moringa seed oil and hemisqualane. A dollop on damp hair produces natural texture with definition. And, just in time for the holidays, the Air Dry Cream has been released in a limited-edition trio of scents: The Original, The Muse, and The Flirt.
