My Chi flatiron and its little pouch. When I bought it at beauty supply store, it came with a heat resistant pouch which I've never seen anywhere else. It's a super pretty bag and I can bring my Chi anywhere with me and just throw it in the bag, even when it's still hot.

I no longer use a curling iron and only had a perm once, but I need body at the top since I had my hair long and it is straight.  I can't think of what they are called but those jaw like clips with teeth that you press open and it holds the hair.  I blow dry my roots a little bit, then pull the top of my hair up and leave it in as I do other things.  Since my hair is short now, and I can't stand it, that is one solution to keeping my hair out of my face and irritating me. 

Can't live without my FHI flat iron

A blow dryier and concealer are must haves!
