11 hair tools to put on your Christmas Wish List stat

Hair means a lot at this time of year. A record number of blow-dry bars exist, and your most glam friend always looks the biz. Get the salon look by yourself with one of these handy hair tools.

This is a gift guide for you to refer to for yourself rather than ideas for other people. For some reason, we wait until our hot hair tool is on its last legs before getting a replacement. We know that hair things are worth investing in. Why do we do this to ourselves?

This Christmas is the time for an upgrade. Yes, you do need a new hair dryer, and that hair isn't going to straighten or curl itself.

We've chosen hair tools we think are really good and totally worth the money. But first, the handiest little gadgets from Penneys. We're clubbing in an buying a selection to share at work to make going from desk to drinks even more easier.
