Which Hair Tool Makes the Best Gift?

Match the tool to how she already styles. If she flat irons most mornings, the ghd Platinum+ is the upgrade she'll feel every single day. If she loves loose, undone waves, the MINT S-Waver does the work in a few passes. If she's a blowout devotee who never quite nails it at home, the MINT Blow Dryer Brush is the friendly middle ground. Not sure? Ask a friend to peek at her bathroom counter. Spy work counts as thoughtful.

What Should I Get Her Based on Who She Is?

• The glossy-hair girl: Any Kérastase Gloss Absolu set. Shine is her whole personality.
• The colour devotee: The Kérastase Chroma Absolu Haircare Set ($166.60) keeps her salon colour looking fresh. Our guide to keeping hair colour from fading explains why it matters here.
• The hot-tools pro: The ghd Platinum+ or MINT S-Waver, plus a good heat protectant tucked in the box.
• The cozy homebody: A Bathorium soak, a Milk Jar candle and The Woven Body FALL Body Lotion ($38.50).
• The one who has everything: An experience. Gift a Kérastase Ritual (starting at $35+) or a Blowout & Style (starting at $50+) with the e-gift card.

Stylist tip: "If you're not sure about her hair type, skip the shampoo and go for a brush, a candle or a bath soak. Everyone can use them. Or build a mini spa night: one Bathorium soak, one candle, one Kent brush and a hair oil. That's four products, so the bundle discount kicks in."
