11 Essential Natural Hair Tools That Slay Breakage and Frizz

This Ouidad Double Detangler Comb ($26) has a double row of tines to get rid of tangles quickly. Plus, the reinforced plastic won't break off in your thick hair as you detangle, no matter how many times you drop it on the shower floor.

While the Denman brush ($11) is a great tool for thick, natural hair, make sure you only use it on wet hair to avoid frizz. If the bristles are continually snagging your curls, you can remove individual rows from the brush to make a gentler tool.

Rely on a teasing brush ($8) to smooth out your edges when you're going for a sleek look like Afro puffs.

Add an extra bit of style to your natural curls with these fashionable Emi-Jay "Classic" Skinny Headbands ($10 for three). They're the perfect remedy for frizzy, day-four styling.

This Gold 'N Hot Conditioning Heat Cap ($39) warms up your strands so that deep conditioning treatments and hot oil concoctions can penetrate the hair shaft and add moisture.

For the oversize, '70s Afro look, use a pick ($5) to tease the roots of your hair and bring out your inner Solange Knowles.

Even though you can't actually detangle hair with one, a fine-tooth comb like the Kent Fine Tail Comb ($8) is an essential for parting and smoothing out your ends.

Create your own DIY hair mixes in a spray bottle ($3). You can moisturize your kinks with a spritz of aloe vera juice, water, and jojoba oil once a day.

Keep an assortment of Goody Ouchless Elastics ($5) in your natural-hair tool kit to create chic updos.

Silk is a great fabric for smoothing back your hair. You can also wrap your hair in a silk scarf at night or rest on a silk pillowcase to protect your style while you sleep! We like this River Island mixed-print square scarf ($10) because it doubles as a fabulous hair accessory.

Why not purchase a reusable shower cap ($5) instead of stealing those plastic caps from the hotel? This one by Sonia Kashuk is lined with terry cloth to keep hair dry while showering. Then, you can flip it inside out to lock in moisture when you deep condition your hair.
