I think we all know by now that the best flat irons are usually the most expensive. As much as I’d like a professional grade iron, I don’t have the $150+ to be spending on it. Plus, when you can find a cheap version that works well why bother. I have normal hair that tends to frizz and it’s wavy. The back of my hair is a nightmare and my stylists said it’s because I have a “deep” wave.

I bought the Conair Infinity Pure Ceramic Staightener at Walgreens, because my previous one just wasn’t cutting it and I was tired of semi flat hair. This one has a 1′ ceramic plate, 5 heating levels, and Auto shut off (LOVE!). It gets very hot and I’ve burned my hands plenty just by touching my hair. I’ve had it not for almost 6 months and it still works as good as the first day I bought it and I’ve never once regretted my purchase. I’ve scoured the internet and found almost all good reviews. People seemed to be pleased with the iron and you can’t beat the price.

Cost: $ 38.71

I’m so into tea tree oil it’s not even funny.

I love my Kiehl’s Tea Tree Oil Toner, there’s just something about it that sets it apart from other products. It has to be the tea tree oil. It’s magical!

Tea tree oil has medicinal applications as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. It can also treat insect bites and minor wounds. It has also been known to help soothe sunburns, poison ivy and bee stings. I told you, magical!

I saw rub it all over yourself. Daily.

Also has almond oil and shea butter. Oh, yea.

Cost: $10

I’m a huge Simpsons fan, and there’s an episode I think of often in which Homer teaches Bart to shave. It’s really more of a visual thing than a funny line, but basically Homer ends up with little pieces of tissue paper covering his trademark muzzle — very humorously presenting the idea that part of shaving is bleeding. Indeed.

A greener way to fight nicks is alum (also used in natural deodorants). This eShave Alum Block mineral bar is made of just that and potassium. The alum has hemostatic properties and stops bleeding instantly. The potassium has antiseptic and astringent properties. Even better than toilet paper.

Cost: $16
