Instyler Max 2-way rotating iron

A combination of flat iron and curling iron, the InStyler marries a ceramic heating plate with ionic bristles to a heated barrel to both curl and straighten hair. The barrel, which also rotates, helps eliminate frizz and create more volume by distributing heat. Make waves this holiday season with four different heat settings — giving you access to soft curls and sleek, polished styles without crushing, flattening or damaging hair in the process. A 30-second rapid heat-up will help you get prepped in a flash, and the auto safety shut-off allows for a no-stress exit.

Kiss Products Instawave automatic hair curler

This no-fuss curling iron does all the lifting for you, using a "curl dial" and ceramic ionic technology to give you the perfect curl. With two heat settings — high and low — the Instawave promises a simple, natural, high-tech hair curling experience with the touch of a single button. Just hold the barrel of the iron at a slight angle next to your head, section off hair at either one or two inches, then press the button. The patented spinner catches and curls hair for either inner- or outer-facing curls, depending on whether your hair is in front of or behind the barrel. Once the hair is wrapped around the barrel, just hold it there for a few seconds, wait for the beep, and gently pull it straight down.

RUSK Engineering W8less professional 2000-watt dryer

This powerful dryer from Rusk uses far-infrared heat waves to make frizz and static a thing of holidays past.

And the dryer makes an easy travel companion, weighing in at just under a pound.

Tria Beauty hair removal laser 4X

Getting rid of body hair is a drag. Waxing and threading can be super-painful and professional laser removal will hurt your wallet even more. Which is why the Tria Laser 4X is the perfect nemesis for unwanted hair. The first at-home laser device to clear FDA requirements, it uses a locked skin color sensor to ensure that your skin tone is light enough to use safely with the laser. If not, you won’t even be able to unlock the device. Once that’s out of the way, it permanently stops the hair follicle in its tracks by targeting the pigment at the root — without harming any surrounding skin. And best of all? You never have to leave the house. A quick chart on Tria's site lets you choose the skin tone and natural hair color of the area you want to treat to see if the laser will work safely for you before you decide to buy.
