11 gifts for a good hair day

Officine Universelle Buly blow-dry hairbrush

Buly describes its Blow-Dry Hairbrush as “the Rolls-Royce’‘ of brushes; its boar-hair bristles serve unruly fringes well. Across the rest of the range, the monogramming service is perfect for presents. €135, buly1803.com

Noble Daughters silk bow band

Much has been written about the return of the scrunchie, the cult ’80s hair ties. Noble Daughters bow bands are the next step up, and help to preserve traditional craft techniques on Ireland’s north-west coast. From £29.97, nobledaughters.com

Gohar World silver Chicken Foot hair pin

This is a weird and wonderful adornment. Look forward to the many conversations it’ll start. $188, gohar.world

Beauty Works Aeris multi-styler

This device can curl, straighten, smooth, dry or add volume with one of its six attachments. A digital temperature control means there’s no risk of heat damage, while its memory feature recalls your preferred heat and speed settings. £220, beautyworksonline.com

Aesop Sculpt hair polish

For those forever fighting flyaways, this hair polish smooths things out. Its gel-like consistency is particularly effective for “wet-look and high-hold styling” (read: scraped-back buns on hair-washing day). £25, aesop.com

GHD Helios Professional hair dryer 

GHD’s Aeroprecis Technology, which creates a 120kmph airflow for faster styling, promises “visibly smoother, shinier hair”. And I’d agree. (I also swear by the brand’s straighteners. The Max model, £199, has 70 per cent larger plates than the rest of the range, and two heat sensors for equal heat distribution.) £179, ghdhair.com

Byredo limited-edition Les Cheveux hair perfume and brush set

Byredo has just released four hair scents in its signature fragrances – Bal d’Afrique, Mojave Ghost, Blanche and La Tulipe – in limited-edition gift sets. A full-size bottle and mini brush come in a box designed by Swedish illustrator John Bauer. £85, byredo.com

Solaris Laboratories NY LED Hair Growth Stimulating brush 

This LED hairbrush combines gentle vibrations with red and blue light therapy to stimulate hair follicles and boost circulation and collagen production. $70, solarislabny.com

Slip pure silk Queen pillowcase

A good blow dry deserves to last. Silk pillowcases are a great solution, and those by Slip also claim to improve hair health by reducing tangles and frizziness (The brand’s award-winning hair wrap, £70, should also feature high on my wishlist.) £89, slipsilkpillowcase.co.uk

Olaplex No 8 Bond Intense moisture mask

Olaplex’s bond-building technology relinks broken hair bonds and locks in moisture. Dr Barbara Sturm also makes a luscious repair mask, combining shea butter and hyaluronic acid to deliver extra shine. £28, uk.olaplex.com. From £55, en.drsturm.com

Zara Hair Holiday Set

Designed with hairstylist Guido Palau, Zara’s hair gel and spray give a gorgeously golden sheen. £35.99, zara.com
