If your hair is completely fried to the point that you should probably be avoiding hair tools all together, pick up a bottle of L'Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair Lipidium Blow-Dry Cream, $17. When you use it, your brush feels like it's gliding on glass — which means it's not snagging and causing breakage. And this formula is packed with a reparative complex (think keratin and ceramides) that helps reverse damage.

Kérastase Couture Styling Creme de la Creme, $37, is a magical, multipurpose blowout cream that tames thick, coarse, wild hair without weighing it down. The humidity-blocking ingredients coat each individual strand to block humidity and prevent frizz, meaning your blowout looks fresh longer.
