Readers' Choice Winner: The Wet Brush
Why: "I love, love, LOVE this hair brush. It comes in a bunch of fun colors, and is very durable for having such flexible and thin bristles. This Wet Brush makes brushing my hair much more pleasant. I have tried round brushes, combs, as well as every detangler under the sun, but nothing has helped tame my mane except for the Wet Brush! It takes about three strokes to get some of the biggest knots out. It is amazing and I highly recommend this brush to everyone I talk to! I can't go without this brush!"

Why: "These gold curling irons really are the best. They heat up so fast, create great curls and last forever. I have the 1" and 1 1/2" barrel curling irons and I've had them for over 5 years.
