16 Haircare Gifts for Your Braid Loving BFF
We all have that one friend who rocks perfect hair all the time — whether she’s running errands, out for a night on the town or just rolled out of bed, her shiny tresses always inspire serious envy. Then there are the rest of us, who aspire to look like her. We all have to start somewhere, and this holiday season, there’s no reason why that perfect-hair girl can’t be you or your besties. We’ve hunted down 18 basic hair essentials to build the ultimate starter hair product and accessories collection.
1. Drybar Big Hair Don’t Care Kit ($199): Anyone who doesn’t want this kit is absolutely crazy. They’ll be rockin’ the #bighairdontcare look as soon as they unwrap it.
2. Bow Hair Elastics ($4): Coming in at under five buckaroos, these hair elastics would make the perfect stocking stuffer for any long-haired girl in your life.
3. Anthropologie Bobby Pins ($24): These are bobby pins that you actually want seen. Who gifts black bobby pins anyway?
4. DIY Turban: Up for a DIY? Make this turban headband and gift it to anyone who loves a good hair accessory. (via Brit + Co)
5. Tangle Teezer ($9): Tangle Teezers are basically the best brush you can use on your hair without damaging it. So why not make it a gift for someone who’s just starting out?
