When you re a celebrity hairstylist, working on-the-go is pretty standard. Just ask Andrew Fitzsimons, whose client roster includes Adriana Lima, Joan Smalls—oh, and every single member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. He’s known for creating effortless bombshell waves. Whether he s on a far flung island taming flyaways or crossing the country to deliver a waist-grazing ponytail, Fitzsimons is always prepared with his trusty essential-filled kit. Here, the Dublin-born pro stylist shares the five products he never leaves home without—because you can never be too prepared.

"This dryer checks all the boxes I look for: it heats up really quickly, cuts down on overall blowdry time and it s super lightweight. As a freelance hair stylist, I m constantly traveling everywhere with a huge suitcase of everything I need for my clients, so when the tools are lighter—but still effective—it makes everything more manageable."

"I use hair oil every single day—it s one of the most versatile products in my kit. I can use it before blow drying for heat protection and to really smooth out the hair, as a finisher to smooth out any flyaways, to give definition to texture, to moisturize ends and so on. I love this particular formula because it s lightweight enough to use on thinner hair without weighing it down, but moisturizing enough for thicker hair."
"The 80s and 90s may have made you scared of mousse, but don t be afraid anymore! Mousses have come a long way and are extremely beneficial, especially if you want to do a glamorous look...or even add fullness to the hair. This formula leaves you with a flexible, non-sticky, medium hold, while adding weightless moisture."
"I love finishing looks with a shine spray; there s nothing more glamorous than healthy, shiny hair. Shine is one of those things that seems really subtle, but really takes your look to the next level. I love that this spray is completely weightless, so I know it won t undo the style I ve just created."
"Extensions are a huge part of my work. Who doesn t want longer, fuller hair?! I have an entire library of BeautyWorks Extensions with me at all times; they have something for everyone, including ombré and highlights, so it s super easy to shade-match. At home, you can just go to their website and pick the shade closest to your color. They also come in a variety of densities, like a double hair set (for voluminous, glam looks) as well as their Invisi-Clip-Ins, which I love for the sleek, straight styles. They’re thin enough to be put right up to the part and melt right in." BeautyWorks Clip In Extensions, for information beautyworksonline.com
