I have almost waist length hair, so hair toys are a bit of a hobby for me. I have found 2 recently that are wonderful!!!!!! First is my new brush - the tangle teezer ($10 @ Sally's). I love, love, love this thing. It's a palm held brush, which takes a little getting used to, but I loose about 1/4 of the hairs I do with combing or other brushes. Highly recommend! Secondly is my new hair clip.......if you've used the plastic jaw clips and hate having to lean forward in a seat, you'll love this - Flexi 8 (*think* $10 - $20 depending on size). It functions like a clip, but is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn in my hair, again, no hair loss, unlike any other hair toys. They have a website (no, I'm not associated with either company, in case you're wondering) just google flexi 8 - I can also wear this all day with a bun and when I take my hair down no headache. Hope this helps somebody, especially with the summer heat around the corner
