Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody that has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." — Katy Shoemaker

Promising review: "I saw a TikTok for this product and bought it. It is so good. I am South Asian and have coarse black hair, and I am going through perimenopause. Nothing is working on my hair. But this hair oil, combined with the Shiseido hair mask, is so good and makes my hair manageable. I am a master cosmetologist, so I know a thing or two about hair. But trust me, nothing helps when you are transitioning into menopause. Buy it. I highly recommend it. Better that Olaplex No. 7 oil, Chi, or other hair smoothing products." — U. Shaikh

Usdnice Flat Hair Clips because there's no feeling more agitating than plastic stabbing your skull when you want to sink into a chair and relax. From an updo to a half-up-half-down look, these handy clips will keep your hair securely in place and make you look put-together in just seconds.
Promising review: "I love these clips! I have very straight, fine hair, but there is a LOT of it. Very few clips hold it well. These are so easy to put in (I don't even need a mirror), they don't pull out or snag, and they hold my hair all day. They are large enough to hold a lot of hair and tight enough to hold a smaller amount of hair. I bet they would work great for curly hair, too. I love that they are simple, but also cute, and come in lots of colors, so I can wear them with any outfit from casual to classy. They are also decently flat, so I can drive without needing to take it out, and they don't break! Very versatile. Best clips ever!" — Patricia A. Dion

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB

Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Featherlight Curls Styling Cream if your hair has never experienced life without frizz. Infused with meadowfoam seed oil, this powerful formula will deliver deep hydration to your curls while blocking out that dreadful humidity that causes your hair to poof up.
Here's what former BuzzFeeder Ciera Velarde has to say:
"I have naturally wavy, almost curly hair (I would say I'm somewhere between a 2c and a 3a curl type), and as mentioned above, I have tried practically every product on the market designed to keep my curls looking their best. Nothing has even come close to this styling cream. I use this whenever I'm airdrying my hair — without it, I end up looking like a frizzy mess and have very undefined curls. I use this while my hair is wet (but soaking) and work it through my hair and scrunch a lot at the end. Gone are the days of really crunch, stiff curls — this cream is so lightweight, it doesn't even feel like you have product in it. I can run my hands through my hair with ease whenever I use this. That's me above on a particularly good hair day after using this Ouidad styling cream — look at those bouncy, frizz-free ringlets!!! To emphasize again, I love this stuff so much that if I were stranded on an island and could only have one beauty product, this would be it."
Promising reviews: "This styling cream is excellent for everyday curl care. It has a featherlight texture that spreads easily through the hair and instantly adds moisture without weighing curls down. My curls feel soft, hydrated, and noticeably smoother after using it, with much less frizz even in humid conditions. It enhances natural curl shape and adds a healthy shine while still keeping hair touchable and flexible, not greasy or stiff. I like that it works well on wet hair and layers nicely with gels or other styling products. Over time, it really helps curls look more defined, polished, and healthy. A great option for anyone wanting frizz control, moisture, and natural-looking curls in one product." — Julia gadalla
"Bought this for my recent trip to Costa Rica – 🇨🇷 for the locals they call this their “cold season” which for a New Yorker in January is a welcome change. Being on the Caribbean Side, with daily rain showers, the humidity is insane. This cream was Amazing! Truly -–mother n daughter both with long wavy/curly hair… this stuff tamed the mane like no other. Very impressed. A little dab will do ya!" — AmandaR

Promising review: "This product was literally life changing for my daughter and me. At age 3 she suffered a very sudden and unexpected death of her grandfather. She began to twisting her hair, which led to pulling it out. (According to her pediatrician this was normal for a child who suffered a traumatic experience.) The pulling then turned into a habit. There was not a single spot on her head where you couldn’t see her scalp. I ordered this shampoo with little hope. The drastic change was amazing! We were not even halfway through our first bottle and her hair was thicker and new growth was visible not only to myself but to others as well! We are on bottle #3 with no plans of stopping! We will forever be loyal customers to this blessing in a bottle!!" — Momof3

It features eight temperature settings, anti-scald protection, and a timer ranging from 4 to 10 seconds, taking all the guesswork out of when to transition to the next section.
It's also dual voltage, which is great for traveling! I use this crimper myself, and I love how easy it is to use!
Check out this crimper (plus some tips for using it) on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This is the third waver I've bought in the past six months or so. The first one did a nice job on my hair, but I felt like it was damaging — I could see frizz that isn't usually there. The second one left my hair looking crimped, like I'd stepped out of the 80s. Thankfully, I found this one! It leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy, with just the perfect amount of wave! I thought I'd gotten it right with this one, but it was confirmed when the very first time I used it, not one, but two other women asked me if my hair just naturally makes these perfect waves--I wish! When I told them I'd used a waver, they wanted to know EXACTLY which one, and I had to look it up on Amazon — they both wrote it down. I can get looser waves by holding my hair in the waver for less time and more defined waves by keeping it in a few seconds longer. Either way, the waves will stay until I wash or wet my hair again. I'm really happy with this purchase." — LylaStylus

Pantene Sunkiss Glow Multitasking Spray because your skin isn't the only thing that the sun damages. With just a few spritzes, this spray will shield your hair from harmful UV rays that would otherwise cause dryness, breakage, and fading. Plus, it'll protect your locks from chlorine and salt damage during those pool and beach days!
Though this is designed to help protect your hair from UV rays, it is not an SPF sunscreen. A UV hair-protectant can help stop color fading and protect the keratin proteins, while SPF sunscreens are meant to help protect the skin. So, if you're looking for something that can also protect your scalp, consider opting for an SPF scalp mist, like this popular option from Sun Bum.

Promising reviews: "Leaves my processed, blonde hair, feeling soft and hydrated. No problems with chlorine green hair." — CR22
"This stuff is AMAZING! Literally nothing else keeps tangles out of my daughter’s hair like this does. Her hair is so thick and very difficult to brush; this makes it easy peasy to brush the tangles out after a swim in the pool. It also softens her hair. When not used, the pool chemicals make her hair very stiff and dry. We even use this every once in a while just because! It smells wonderful and doesn’t make the hair greasy in any way. I cannot recommend this product enough!!!" — Emily

It adds that shine that your hair has been craving and makes your locks more vibrant. Plus, you can apply it before heat-styling your hair for protection up to 450 degrees F.
Promising reviews: "Liquid gold!!!!! I use a tiny bit on my end, twice a day (dry hair), and it’s totally restored my hair's softness, shine, and manageability in less than a month. I love the packaging too. I have fewer tangles, and my hair is stronger, plus the ends are shiny, which has never happened in my life. I don’t have damaged hair, so I don’t know about the damage repair, but I did have really dry, brittle, frizzy hair, and this has totally fixed all that. Let me say, WORTH IIIIIIT." — Christine

I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa

Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on the scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’snot as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard
"I hardly write reviews...but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week...just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this... hats off!!" — Dee

Samnyte Hair Wax Stick so you can tame your flyaways when you want that slicked-back hairstyle. Its castor oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E formula helps to nourish, soften, and make your hair ✨ shiny. ✨ BTW, over 20,000 customers swiped right on it in the past month — what does that tell you?
I started doing slicked-back buns because I got curtain bangs and HATED the way they looked on me. When I first started out, I used styling gel, which refused to keep my hair in place because of my strange hair part. I kid you not, it took me TWO hours to finally kind of get the results I wanted. Then, I saw this miracle product being used all over TikTok, along with the Dae styling cream (which I never bought because it's quite $$$), but turns out, I didn't even need it! I just used this wax stick all over my head, and my hair did not budge the entire day. Plus, I have so many baby hairs and flyaways, and this miracle stick kept 'em all at bay. I will admit, it's quite difficult to wash out of your hair and may need a few rounds of shampooing, but I started using this Kristin Ess clarifying shampoo, and it did the trick!
Promising review: "A total game-changer! I use it to slick down flyaways, smooth my edges, and give my styles that clean, polished look — especially for ponytails, buns, and clip-in installs. It goes on super smooth, isn’t greasy, and doesn’t flake or leave buildup like some other products I’ve tried. It holds everything in place all day without making my hair stiff or crunchy. And the best part? A little goes a long way, so the stick lasts forever." — Marie Baronvil

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord swears by hers. Here's her rave review: "I own one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." — Z

Boldify Hairline Powder to give your contrasting roots a little touch-up because life has gotten so busy, and you don't have time to go to the salon to re-dye your hair. You can also use it to fill in thinning areas for a fuller look. All you have to do is put some powder on the sponge applicator and dab away!
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I was using a product called DermMatch, and I was going online to order some more when I came across this item. I used it for the first time after showering this morning, and decided to apply it onto my damp hair. That may not be how it is meant to be applied, but it worked so well. I did not comb my hair back prior to applying it, I just dabbed it onto wherever I could see my scalp, including my hairline, and it looked like it covered very well. The test was when I combed my hair back and styled it the way that I used to. It passed the test with flying colors. To top that off, it was waaay cheaper than the DermMatch. I very strongly recommend that anyone give this a try. I am absolutely blown away at how well it works for me, and I am very picky about my hair. Just try it!" — dd

L’Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water because it transforms your hair from dry and frizzy to soft and silky in as little as — yup, you guessed it — eight seconds! Apply it in the shower after you shampoo, rinse it out after massaging it in, and let the lamellar formula do its job.
Promising review: "I didn't believe that this product would do what the ad says, but I thought I would try it because it is not expensive at all. It really does work. At least for my hair, which is very long (past my waist) and tends to be dry, it makes a huge difference. It is better at moisturizing my hair, making it shiny, and enhancing the waves, compared to any moisturizing conditioners that I have ever used. I highly recommend it if you have dry hair.
I have now used it for several weeks, and can say it definitely is improving the feel and appearance of my hair. My hair is soft and silky, and much easier to comb because it doesn't tangle as much. One thing that is important, though: don't leave it on longer than the directions say. It doesn't work as well if you leave it on longer. I literally count to ten and then rinse it off." — EC

Herstyler Argan Oil Hair Serum that'll breathe some life back into your locks. Frizz and split ends are no match for this magical formula. This baby smooths, boosts shine, and hydrates all hair types — after applying this, you'll feel like you're about to go audition for a hair commercial.
Promising review: "I have a lot of fine, thin hair, and it is prone to frizz with the slightest amount of humidity. I've tried so many serums and oils, and none have controlled the frizz ... until I tried this one. I have yet to put it through the test of a Midwest spring and summer, but so far, even on rainy winter days, my hair has stayed smooth and frizz-free. I'm extremely impressed with this product and love that my hair looks great even on the second day. It's still smooth, shiny, and has volume despite sleeping on it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with frizz-prone hair." — Marla

Lovani's Mini Flat Iron if you want your hair to look picture-perfect wherever you go, even if you're on a safari in the middle of the Serengeti. It'll hardly take up any space in your travel bag, heats up in just 30 seconds, and has hair-friendly ceramic plates!
Promising review: "At home, I use a $100+ iron, so I didn't have high hopes for this one. However, I was traveling to Europe and needed a more compact one that I didn't need to worry about breaking in case my adapter didn't work. This flat iron surpassed my expectations! It takes a little longer to flat iron my shoulder-length, medium-thickness hair, but given the smaller plates, that would be expected. It did not excessively extend my morning routine by any means. It's hot enough that I don't need to make extra passes, so that cuts down time, too. I would highly recommend this travel iron — can't beat the price, size, and how well it works!" — Lisa
