This Hair Dryer Is My Go-To Travel Essential This Wedding Season
You know that episode of "Friends" where they're all in Barbados for one of Ross' conferences, and because of the humidity, Monica's hair just keeps growing? So my hair is like a less exaggerated (re: comedic) version of that.

Short of permanently moving to a climate with far less humidity than New York or, as one stylist suggested, spending $500 on a keratin treatment, I've tried everything to combat the frizz: air drying my hair, applying a deep conditioner once a week, using paraben- and sulfate-free shampoo—you name it.

I was complaining about my hair woes to a friend who also struggles with poofy hair, and she recommended that I get a hair dryer brush. After listening to her sing its praises, I went with the REVLON One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush. It's made with ionic technology, meaning that it dries my locks more quickly and helps retain moisture by sealing the cuticle. The combination of nylon pin and tufted bristles serve to gently detangle my hair, so I don't have to worry about breakage, either. And the oval design helps give it extra volume, leaving me with a smooth, shiny, and most importantly, frizz-free look.

This last weekend I was in D.C. for a wedding, and I knew that the city's humidity was going to be a true test of my hair dryer's capabilities. And it passed: After a few hours of walking around in the September heat, my strands looked just as smooth as ever. I even got complimented on my hair, and if that's not a testament to the hair dryer's powers, I don't know what is.

Since I have at least nine weddings in the next year (yes, nine!) I know this hair dryer is going to be the one thing that I pack in my suitcase every single time. What's your one must-have travel beauty essential? I'd love to hear it.

These Savory Breakfast Muffins Are Weekday Lifesavers
These savory muffins are the kind of breakfast you can hand to your children on their way out the door. They're loaded with sausage, eggs, cheddar cheese, and spinach. We like cutting our butter into the flour mixture so we get a delicious biscuit-like texture.
