Tools/Equipment & Accessories you cant live without

[Nichex]

Theres so many threads on your favourite products and techniques. However I didnt really find one specifically dedicated to tools or accessories you simply couldnt live without.

So I thought I would start one! Its just simply what it is and why you love it.

I will go first, mine is my tangle teezer and seamless comb. Ever since I started using them the amount of hair that comes out has significantly reduced.

Mine is a silk/satin scarf. It protects my hair, helps the air drying process by keeping edges smooth, and keeps my style in tact overnight

The seamless Magic Star Jumbo Rake

Goody hair pins vs bobby pins (damaging IMO), & Goody's are good quality

Silk pillowcase

Grocery bags vs. shower caps for oil treatments- free, no size issues, & no band to rub against my hairline

My days completely forgot about my satin bonnet. LOVE!

 

[Nix08]

A guilty pleasure that I've truly fallen in love with...a styling wand, yes it's heat tool but it makes me happy

Satin wraps
Satin pillow case
satin headband
Seamless comb although I mainly use my fingers for detangling
Root only applicator bottle for apply DC to my ng

@Nichex, steamer = absolutely. Microfiber towel = debateable.

I have a micro towel but I can live without it. I prefer to tshirt dry and can dry very well without ever using the micro towel. However, to speed things up, I will place the micro towel on top of tshirt to collect the excess water. Not using the micro towel directly on my hair ensures I do not rough up my attitude serving strands.

Satin bonnet

EnExitStageLeft, what's up with the bolded? Your not damaging your hair with the seams on that comb? Why aren't you using a bone/seamless comb for your HD detangling?

Nope, I'm not. I filed the seams off that comb ages ago. I find the Annie rake comb does a much better job at removing sheds then those I have bought and tried. I have about 10 seamless combs and find that my Annie blows them out of the water. The only other comb that slightly compares to it in my hair is the Roll-Ka-Komb by Hercules Sageman, but even then it doesn't remove sheds like my Annie comb. I finally got fed up with hunting for an seamless equivalent and filed the seams off of my Annie comb.
