Whitney Olson, Celebrity Hairstylist at Warren-Tricomi Los Angeles

Pin Head

“For an after-work cocktails-worthy look, these pins are the absolute best. You can literally pull back your hair, ‘spin the pin’ and create an elegant chignon in no time flat.”

SHOP NOW: Goody Simple Style Spin Pins, $5.99

Spray Away

“In my opinion, this is one of the best hairsprays ever made. It has the perfect amount of hold and actually has a pleasant scent. In the past it was an industry jewel — every hairstylist had one in his or her arsenal. Fortunately now, it’s available to the masses by way of drugstores.”

SHOP NOW: L'Oréal Elnett StrongHold Hairspray, $13.99

Stylist #2

Brandon Martinez, Celebrity hair expert and creator of B. The Product

Travel Companion

“This is a great on-the-go styling product because it has medium hold while keeping the hair super-shiny. Plus, you can toss it in any size bag.”

SHOP NOW: B. The Product Travel Size Hairspray, $13

Bobby Hobby

“I am never without these little pins! They are the secret to creating effortless-looking styles in a jiff.”

SHOP NOW: Morris Flamingo Bobby Pins, $8.40

Comb Over

“This comb is virtually indestructible and can be used for both back-combing - which is a huge trend right now - and for taming fly-aways.”

Jessica Tingley, Celebrity Stylist

Foam Party

“This mousse will literally give your hair body for the entire day. And unlike others of its kind, it doesn’t get tacky.”

SHOP NOW: Aveeno Nourish + Style Volumizing Foam, $6.99

Big Wig

“I love these hot rollers. They’ll create amazing volume and come in all colors, so you can even match to your hair. Use them to create trendy, messy updos, which I think are eternally chic.”

SHOP NOW: Conair HS10 Instant Heat Compact Hot, $14.99

Bun Fun

“These are the basic little bobbies that everyone should own. They disappear into hair when you want a messy bun, and they hold better than anything else.”

SHOP NOW: Vidal Sassoon Bobby Pins, 60 for $1.29

Stylist #4

Mara Roszack, Celebrity Hairstylist at Andy Lecompte Salon

Dry Spell

“I personally love this dry shampoo, which we all know is a must-have for great ‘second or third day hair.’ This one adds a little bit of moisture while removing oils, so it's not as drying as some of its counterparts.”

SHOP NOW: TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo, $5.49

Fantastic Elastic

“Achieving that desirable super-tight pony with a regular elastic can be tough. That’s why I’m obsessed with these bands with two little hooks on the ends. They control hair ten times better than a regular elastic. Plus, they come in different colors to match to your hair.”

SHOP NOW: Smoothies Bungee Bands, $3.50

Smooth Moves

“This smoothing cream is another essential for me. I can either throw it in hair before styling it or use it to coat dry hair to get rid of frizzies.”

SHOP NOW: TRESemme No Frizz Cream, $5.49
