Looking for that perfect brush? Every stylist I spoke to raved about the Mason Pearson Brush, $120 and recommended that every woman own one. If not that specific brush (it’s pricey but so worth it), a “round boar bristle brush,” is the next best choice, says NYC hairstylist Jake Dingler.

You’ll also want a good teasing comb (try the Ulta Teasing Comb, $4.99), and a 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch curling iron or curl stick to create those perfect waves that every woman dreams of having.
