"I commend the kitchen witch who knows her potions and shared this one with us." No conjuring or incantations required — just the Verb Ghost Oil.
1. Verb Ghost Oil — a lightweight hair oil that helps smooth, soften, and defrizz your beautiful mane. It magically locks in moisture, promotes shine, and revitalizes your strands from root to end, ooh la la. And I'm personally intrigued by the name.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"This is an exceptional potion. It's pure magic at its best. With just a small amount, Ghost Oil softens the hair, gives it body, is non-greasy, makes it shine, and makes your hair look fuller. A truly magical product. I commend the kitchen witch who knows her potions and shared this one with us." — B. Blume
"This stuff is amazing. My hair was very dry and the ends appeared split. I bought this stuff because of a TikTok recommendation and will never go back. Super light and moisturizing." — Leah
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in two scents, three sizes, and as a bundle).
2. An OGX leave-in conditioning cream to apply to your towel-dried hair for a magic trick. *Voila*, defined, bouncy curls that'll put a little extra pep in your step because of the way your curls bounce when you walk.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"Absolutely love this stuff! It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners but have never found anything to put on damp hair that I like as much as this. It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair, too." — Bunco Queen of the Universe
"I love this stuff! Magic in a bottle." — MtDewGirl
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
3. Olaplex No. 3 hair perfector, which is TOTALLY worth it if your hair is broken or damaged. This bad boy strengthens and protects your hair from within and reduces breakage so split ends can't stop you from feeling ~FAB~.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out our full review of Olaplex No. 3.
Promising reviews:"My hair had so much breakage from coloring it so much over the years and I was on the verge of completely shaving it. I saw one of God's favorites on TikTok with the hair of a goddess suggest this stuff. All I can say is wow! This cream must have been dropped from Heaven because it has saved my fried hair. Worth every penny, with this stuff, you too can be one of God's favorites." — Kirstin
"Seriously magic in a bottle. I bleached my very dark, virgin hair and it took a lot to get it lightened so my curls took a beating. This really brought them back to life. I usually use this with the Shea moisture protein mask and it leaves my hair silky and smooth and rejuvenates my curls. Remember this is not moisturizing, I recommend using a mask that has properties that your hair needs alongside this treatment!" — Heady
Get it from Amazon for $30.
4. Or a more affordable Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen to help give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes. This stuff is *chef's kiss* mixed with a little witchcraft.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets!
Promising reviews:"Not gonna lie, I was skeptical that this could help me. A few months ago, I decided I could bleach my hair. I burnt it to such a crisp that I've literally been wearing it up under a cap. That worked when it was winter, but now it's warm, so I needed a solution. I saw this product highly recommended on other sites, and the reviews were good, so I ordered a tube. Used it twice now, and OH. MY. LANTA. For months, my hair has felt like crunchy noodles, ready to snap at a moment's notice. After one treatment (left in about 15 minutes after shampoo, before conditioner), my ends feel soft!! After the second time washing with it, i t actually moves like it's not damaged, and it is visibly SO much healthier. Like seriously, idk how they bottled witchcraft, but I'm going to continue to use this product even when my hair grows out. An absolute magical miracle potion! I seriously prepared myself to explain to the world that it doesn't work. But instead, I have the healthiest hair I've had since being a home hairdresser. 10/10 for less than $10. Picture from left to right (blonde above): my hair before using this, my hair after the first treatment, my hair after the second treatment." — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
5.
A satin pillowcase to help with your hair and skin. Silk and satin pillowcases are WAY less coarse and scratchy on sensitive skin and hair. Oh, and CURLY BABES, *ahemm* ya need this to keep those curls looking juicy the next day. Plus these are way more affordable than pricey brands like Slip and Blissy!
Amazon
Promising reviews: "I was skeptical that these wouldn't work as well as silk pillowcases because the price was so low. But, game changer, seriously. I'm not sure what kind of sorcery is built into this, but it stays cool all night, and my hair hasn't been a wreck when I wake up. Get this!" — Susie F.
"I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets, but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they're softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled, but a quick wash and dry and they're shiny and wrinkle-free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than competing brands' zip closure. Highly recommend!" — Hannah Watkins
Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes, 38 colors, and in one- and four-packs).
6. Flexible curling rods that'll give you the best curls of your lifeeee. You can use them with your hair wet or dry — just put 'em in at night, wake up, take em out, and boom! Perfectly shaped curls!
Alright so I've recently tried to get into figuring out what to do with my curly hair. I feel like growing up straight hair was considered '"better" so I always had a relaxer, keratin treatment, or just a plain ol' flat iron. Of course, that's not healthy for my hair but I was never taught how to style my curls so I liked to keep it straight. Flash forward 10 years, we're embracing the curls. I recently bought these cuz my mom used to flexi-rod my hair when I was a kid. I watched a bunch of TikTok videos, put 'em in, woke up, and my curls looked absolutely perfect. And no heat! I have worn my curls in a bun for the past five years, I kid you not. This has been my new go-to. Seriously, people have been shook cuz I let my curls down. I love my hair like this, I think it's so so cute and I'm finally becoming more comfortable with my curls. And the gif of me above is a week after I used these curlers — wizardry at it's finest. You can use 'em on curly or straight hair; I've used 'em on my hair when it's straight and the curls hold forever. They suck to sleep in but, hey, they weren't lying when they said beauty is pain.
Get a 42-pack from Amazon for $15.99.
7. ORRRR a satin curling rod headband for beautiful, juicy curls on those days where you don't wanna sit and bother with other tools. So like, every day, right? Stunning curls with minimal effort.
This also comes with two satin scrunchies. So, I bet you're thinking *how does this baby work?* Start with slightly damp hair. Position the curling rod to the middle of your head and secure it with a claw clip then begin to wind one side around the curler. Once you get to the end of your hair, wind it with scrunchies and do the same on the other side. Take it out the next morning and enjoy your voluminous, gorgeous curls!

Promising reviews: "I was a little skeptical but finally decided to jump on the heatless curls bandwagon, and I'm glad I did. I have very fine hair and it is a struggle to get it to hold a curl (if you know, you know!) But this really does work. I learned a couple of keys — my hair has to be slightly damp, almost dry, and I have to wind it tightly. When I do this, I get beautiful curls that last. I'm very pleased; it's not super uncomfortable to sleep in, and I've noticed way less frizz and more volume in my hair since I've started using this. If you're on the fence, go for it!" – Amazon Customer
"Just like magic! My hair won't hold a curl but with this product, it did!! Amazing! Beautiful and lasting curls. Love this product! You won't be disappointed." — Caroline weinstein
Get it from Amazon for $15.96+ (available in 14 colors).
8. A bottle of Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls — a soft styling lotion that'll have your curls looking better than they ever have. You can break up with crunchy locks and say hello to soft, gorgeous, defined curls with surprisingly amazing hold. Holy grail hair product? I think so.
amazon.com, amazon.com
9. A Cécred nourishing hair oil that smells absolutely divine and will help seal in moisture without weighing down your locks. It's compiled of 13, yes 13 (!!!) luscious oils to help reinforce your hair's lipid barrier and will have you absolutely feelin' yourself. Reviewers are loving that this lightweight potion actually absorbs into your strands rather than just sitting on top. Oh, nourishing hair oil, ~I love you down to the bone~.

I finally got my hands on this bad boy, and oh, baby, it is incredible. I've been trying to figure out how to style my curly clip-in extensions and make them match my real hair, but nothing has been working. I did a braid-out three times and it just didn't look right, I was literally ready to give up and just straighten my hair again. That is, until I added this. This and the moisture-sealing lotion work ridiculously well together; they're the most magical duo ever for curls. My braid-out turned out so perfectly, I'm still in disbelief. Plus, my hair isn't oily!! It absorbed so well. I put it on one side of my hair at a time, and its definition difference was wild. My curls haven't looked this curly in years. I also use it on my straight extensions to help my hair blend seamlessly with them, and it works perfectly.
Also, it smells so freakin' good, it's ridiculous. A few weeks ago, I forgot to put on perfume. I was just running to pick up food and stop for iced coffee, but I was feeling self-conscious because I ran errands without my normal *smell good* routine. I was told by both cashiers at both stores that I smelled incredible. The first time, I brushed it off because I couldn't think of what could smell good on me. But after the second time, I gave it some thought and remembered that I put some of this oil in my hair in the morning and could still smell it two hours later, I didn't know others could smell it too. So not only did this make my curly hair look like *chef's kiss* perfection, but it also smelled like heaven. Cécred literally never disappoints. This oil is liquid gold. I'm obsessed. I stand ten toes behind this oil and literally every product I've tried from the line. These are my all-time favorite hair products, no competition.
Get it from Cécred for $22+ (available in two sizes).
10. Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil made with biotin and moisturizing oils like jojoba, rosemary, and mint that can help stimulate and nourish your scalp while also strengthening and promoting hair growth at the root. I know they said a magic flower grew Rapunzel's hair but let's be serious, it was probz this stuff.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
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 scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not 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 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

11. Mane Club One Hit Wonder — a 10-in-1 spray that LITERALLY does it all, but won't cost you the price of 10 products. Like, you know how the witches in AHS: Coven had to pass all of the Seven Wonders tests to become the Supreme? Yeah, this stuff is the Fiona Goode of hair products. It'll detangle, take care of frizz and split ends, and provide heat protection (up to 445 degrees).
The formula contains ~cannabis sativa seed oil~, which works to moisturize and hydrate without adding a bunch of weight.

Promising review:"I have A LOT of hair, but it's super fine, so anything 'moisturizing' makes me a grease pit all day. LOL, this stuff is magic! So lightweight, I ALWAYS get compliments when I use it. It makes me feel like I just walked out of a hair commercial. The smell is also divine. Will be my new holy grail." — Shannon Jaffee
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
12. A magenta L'Oréal hair dye that's made ~especially~ for dark hair and requires NO PRE-LIGHTENING! Yep, that's right, no need for bleach — just mix it up with some developer! If you keep debating on dying your hair, this is your sign to do it!
Don't believe me? Watch this stylist dye their client's dark hair (with highlights) using this (and the red color) on TikTok!
I did it y'all. I dyed my hair red. I grabbed this in magenta and some 30 Volume developer and called my cousin to tell her we were dying my hair. I was scared because neither of us are professionals and I just grew out my color damaged hair from the last time I dyed it. Nonetheless, we did a test strip, and my hair didn't fall out, so my cousin went ahead and did my whole head.
We left it in for 20 minutes, and then did my roots, and left it in for an additional five minutes, watching it closely because I wanted a deep, dark burgundy. And boom, it came out perfectly. My hair is naturally a very dark brown, almost black, and this magic dye lifted my hair and colored it beautifully.
I used a color sealer after rinsing to lock in the color, red does bleed, so the sealer helps with that. Oh, and don't lay on anything when your hair is wet — let it dry before getting dressed, or you will drip red onto EVERYTHING. I've been a red head since November 2024 and so far, with proper care, my hair has been doing great. If you've been thinking of going red, DO IT! I feel like a hot tamale.
Get it from Amazon for $13.60 (available in two other colors).
13. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so you can say so long to oily, greasy strands while also adding volume and making your hair look fuller. Now you can go another day without needing to wash and your hair will still feel oh so clean.
Promising reviews: "I almost want to gatekeep. By far THE best dry shampoo I've ever used — not sure how this sorcery works, but I'm obsessed!" — Robertson
"I originally bought this for a month-long trip to Australia (that began with five days of camping without much time to stop by a store). I wanted something small and non-aerosol (because, travel), and hate applying powder by hand and didn't want to bring an application brush. The application sponge is great, and the powder itself is also magic. I was a DAILY hair washer most of my teenage and adult life, but now I can go an entire WEEK with this stuff (and other mindful habits like night braids). I really love it." — Bre
Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available in eight colors and in multipacks).
14. A Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer that'll cut your drying time in half and give you a blowout so good you'll probably be able to convince everyone you're a hairstylist...or a witch. A blow-drying brush sounds like a win to me.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The brush's design smooths the hair, while the round edges create volume — leaving you with bombshell hair without having to go to the salon. It also has three heat and speed settings and a cooling option.
Promising review:" This is some kind of sorcery... There's no other explanation. I stopped straightening my hair (2c/3a/3b, very thick and coarse) several years ago because it was just too much trouble. I've NEVER been able to straighten with a brush and blow dryer, only with a flat iron — and it took two hours. This magical appliance did the job in 26 minutes. AND it didn't leave my hair super flat, so that I would then have to curl it. My hair has volume (even at the roots!), movement, and it's soft and shiny. I would recommend using a heat protectant, and watching a couple of YouTube videos if you're not familiar with straightening with a brush and blow dryer. But this thing is absolutely amazing and I am thrilled with the results. Unless it breaks tomorrow, it was well worth the price and I highly recommend it!" — Stephanie Cunningham
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in eight colors and three styles).
Oh! Revlon also has a One-Step Styler SPECIFICALLY FOR CURLY HAIR for $27.85! Curly babes with hair from 2a – 4c are looooving this blow-dryer enough to give it 5-star ratings.
15. A Shea Moisture anti-frizz curl mousse — a super hydrating, lightweight formula that'll give you manageable, silky smooth, bouncy, voluminous hair. I know, I know, you were thiiiis close to cracking open a spell book and using a hex on your hair, but this bottle of magic is here so that you don't have to.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This magic foam is epic! I never thought a hair product would change my life, but this one did. It's so incredibly lightweight you feel like there is nothing in your hair. I get volume and definition without any of the drawbacks of normal products." — Kat C.
Get it from Amazon for $10.67.
16. Some gorgeous clip-in extensions from Luxy Hair so you can magically grow long Rapunzel hair without having to deal with Mother Gothel. So flawlessly beautiful with such incredible quality, you'll have to clear some space on your phone for all the selfies you'll take.
Tap to play GIF
I have these and holy crap, they're incredible. I've been wearing clip-ins for over 10 years now and can confidently say that these are the best quality I've ever used. They're thick as heck, the band is strong, and they feel so silky and luxurious it's almost unbelievable. As you can see (gif above) my hair is a dark burgundy red and they don't sell that shade so I got the chestnut brown shade and dyed them... several times. I didn't wanna pay a professional to dye them and I had a very hard time getting the extensions the exact same shade as my hair. I dyed them three times before they matched my hair (no bleach involved) and even after being dyed again and again they still feel just as gorgeous as they did when I first opened the package (witchcraft). They're top notch and they're easy to comb/brush through with very little to no shedding, unlike other brands that leave literal PILES of hair on my floor every time they're brushed. They also come with instructions for how to take proper care of them. They look beautiful once installed and they didn't get all tangled up when I wore them to a sweaty St. Patrick's Day bar crawl. They're perfection and if you're gonna spend money on clip-ins, I recommend you spend your coins on these ones. I don't think any other company's clip-ins will ever be good enough for me again. I love themmmm, I'm wearing this brand forever.
Get them from Luxy Hair for $235+ (available in three lengths, 36 colors, and two thicknesses).
17. An ergonomically designed detangling brush that'll gently unravel even the toughest tangles without ripping out your hair. You hear that? Me neither, cuz you can use this for your kid and they won't be screaming in pain while you brush their hair! Witch-freakin-craft.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OOOOMMMMGGG!!! I was skeptical at first, but given the reviews, I figured I'd give it a try. I'm African American and have curly, kinky, coils...in between the realm of type 3/4, idk to be honest. All I know is that when I went to detangle my fro after a long day, this brush easily slid through. I had to double-take! I didn't have to start with a wide-tooth comb, I just dove right in. My hair is THICK! After each stroke, I kept looking at the brush like, 'What type of sorcery is this!?' And to top it off, ZERO BREAKAGE!!! Buy this brush!!!!!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two sizes, and in two-packs).
18. The *magical* Chi Spin N Curl in case curling your tresses is the ultimate struggle. Put your hair in this little tool and it'll do all the work! Heats your locks and it's timed to create the perfect curls and waves. Ta-daaa — incredible curls EVERY TIME.
This curling tool is *ideal* for people with hair between 6 and 16 inches long.
Promising reviews:"I've struggled with learning how to curl my hair for a while and disliked accidentally burning myself in the process. I saw this product featured on TikTok and I immediately rushed to Amazon to buy it. It's so simple to use once you learn how it works. There are two buttons going in different directions so you can choose which way you want to curl your hair. It takes a bit to get used to — knowing how much hair to put in the curler, but once you master that, you'll be curling your hair like a pro in no time :). I also loved that I could place the curler against my head without any worries about getting burned!" — HappyCustomer
"I am 28-years-old and have never been able to curl my hair. I have literally bought every wand and curling iron there is, never been able to use one. When I have somewhere to go, I have to make a hair appointment to get my hair curled. Pathetic, I know! This thing is magic. I can curl my hair, and in less than 45 minutes too! (I have a lot of hair). Yasssss." — Kayleigh jones
Get it from Amazon for $69.96+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
19. Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray that must've been conjured up in a cauldron because it can help decrease the time it takes to blow-dry your hair by 50 freakin' percent! This stuff ~also~ acts as a heat protectant and helps eliminate frizz after washing — we love a product that does many things and does 'em all well.
See it in action here on TikTok! Reviewers of all hair types are loving this stuff — check out another creator with coily hair use the spray.
Promising reviews:"I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on your hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quite a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy), and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" — Janice C. Henderson
"This stuff is amazing! I read the reviews about cutting drying time down and thought I would give it a try. It smells amazing and it's like magic. I have long, thick hair that takes forever to blow dry. It literally cut my time in half or more! Love this! If you're on the fence, TRY IT!!" — C Ross
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes and in two-packs).
20. Or a Color Wow heat-activated anti-frizz treatment to apply before you blow-dry. With anti-humidity technology and moisture repellent, it works kinda like a mini keratin treatment and seriously DELIVERS some incredible results. Oh, and Chris Appleton, celebrity stylist to both Kim Kardashian and J.Lo, swearssss by this stuff.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. l don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. — Lillee45
"It's not just a TikTok fad, it really works! You MUST blow-dry your hair in order for it to work, but sooo worth it. Shiny, strong hair with heat protectant! Lasts 1–2 showers without need for reapplication. No scent!" — Shay Rooney
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes and in sets).
21. A BaByliss titanium flat iron (1.25") that is TOTALLY worth the splurge. I have this, and it's my actual magic wand; like, I very much so may be a Sanderson sister. Heats up quickly and gives your hair a gorgeous shine. Fabulous salon-quality results at your fingertips.
So I had been getting my hair done by the same woman for over 10 years and recently, she stopped taking appointments. I don't trust anyone else with my hair, so a few years ago when she started to slow down on appointments I started to take note of everything she used on my hair. I got the Chi products she used, but I still wasn't getting that salon lewk that I wanted. So the next time I went, I saw her flat iron — this magical lil' flat iron — and decided to look it up. After reading amazing reviews I splurged and got this and let me just say, not a single regret. I started using this and omg the shineeee, the way my hair moves...it looks and feels exactly like when my hairdresser does my hair every single time. I love this thing, it gets hot quick and gets my hair straight as a pin quickly as well. It has made a HUGE difference in how my hair looks after straightening it and I recommend it to absolutely everyone. It takes me wayyy less time to straighten my hair now because I don't have to pass over each section a billion times, only once or twice! Get it and thank me later.
Get it from Amazon for $132.99+ (available in five sizes and colors).
22. Some Cécred shampoo and conditioner for anyone whose hair is practically *begging* for some extra hydration. The hyaluronic acid infused shampoo + the conditioner (which is packed with lightweight, nourishing oils) will leave your hair smooth, shiny, and easy to detangle. Plus, the conditioner only has to stay in your hair for one minute to work its magic (instead of 3–5 minutes, like most other conditioners). Wash day just got much easier and quicker.
I have both of these, and they're both 100,000/10. I've had them for a while (and loved them), and I only used them when my hair was curly, but I just used this magical combo to straighten my hair for the first time, and omg omg omg. Guyssss, my hair has never ever looked/felt better. I ran out of my ol' faithful Chi shampoo and conditioner which I normally use when I'm gonna straighten my hair and in such a mid shower crisis, I thought *what the heck, let me use my Cécred products instead and just hope for the best*. I was absolutely SHOOK when I straightened my hair and it turned out bone-straight and silky. The results are, dare I say, better than my favorite reliable seven year shampoo and conditioner. The products smell incredible and my hair feels extremely clean after washing with these. Annnnd, my hair feels SO moisturized. I feel like after washing with Chi products, my hair looks and feels suuuuper dry. But with the Cécred shampoo and conditioner, my hair didn't even need moisturizer or anything, but I def added my Cécred nourishing oil to set things off, make my hair smell like literal heaven, and add a lil' extra moisture and shine. This shampoo + conditioner combo is literally the definition of perfection. They work wonders.
Get the shampoo from Cécred for $16+ (available in two sizes) or Ulta for $31 and the conditioner from Cécred for $16+ (available in two sizes) or Ulta for $31.

Promising reviews: "I feel like I have tried every product on the market for detangling curly hair on my 2-year-old daughter. This is the BEST purchase and product ever!! I spray to detangle after a bath at night, and then re-spray the next morning before school after getting dressed. It reworks its magic the second time around, and she arrives home with her hair so bouncy, and the curls are so tame!!" — BK
"Alright, folks, gather 'round for the comedy show starring this Leave-In Hair Detangler for Curly Hair! And just to clarify, I'm not being bribed to say this – this is an unpaid review. So picture this: my hair, usually a nest of rebellious curls, meets this detangler, and it's like they're at a peace conference. No more morning showdowns, no more tangled drama. It's like the hair angels sprinkled magic dust on my locks. I don't know what's in this stuff, but I suspect it's a mix of wizardry and unicorn tears. I mean, it makes combing through my curly jungle a breeze — a hair-raising experience in all the right ways! Now, I've tried some wild hair products in my time, but this one? It's the real deal, folks. If you've got curly chaos up top, give this detangler a spin.

Promising reviews:"My daughter and I refer to this as 'magic spray!' We love it! My daughter has coarse, thick, wavy hair. I have very thin, fine hair. It works beautifully for both of us. It leaves hair soft, shiny, manageable, and frizz-free! It does not weigh down my fine hair. It smells AMAZING too!" — ASheridan
"I have lived in Florida for the past 19 years and pretty much tried every anti-frizz product on the market to no avail. I really gave up entirely until my friend recommended I try this product. WOW, it actually works. I can't believe under Florida's 90% humidity conditions my hair is not frizzy for the first time in 19 years. I no longer look like I was dragged through a rainforest.

Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez

www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"It's so hard looking for edge control that lasts longer than five minutes on my edges, but this stuff really works! It works so well and keeps your hairs from moving, so even if you try to adjust any of them they'll be too stiff. Even after sweating in the gym my edges barely move and if they do, they are still a bit defined. The only thing I will caution— do not use a heavy hand because it will flake if you do. Anyways, 10/10 best edge control ever!" — Keyona
"This edge control is magical! It slicks my natural 4c edges like a relaxer. I apply a small bit of edge control, apply a little spritz, and I wrap my edges for a few minutes. My edges lay down so well! I apply oil to combat white residue." — Stephanie Lisett

Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/myrevair/p/C7mvHv3vvIc/?hl=en&img_index=1
Check it out on TikTok!
It's no secret that I'm not a fan of styling my hair when it's curly. Braid-outs and flexi-rod sets look so cute when they turn out perfectly, but when they don't, they're a mess. I mean, you spend so much time putting products in and braiding up your hair just to wake up to the braids not being fully dry. This machine is like a fairy godmother for my braid-outs. I can literally dampen my hair, add products, braid it up, and then use this to dry them quickly *or* to finish drying the braids if I sleep in them. I've only used it for last-minute braid-outs so far, but it's been so helpful to ensure that my hair looks great in 30 minutes. Anything that speeds up the process of styling my curls is a major win in my eyes. I'm loving this machine so far. It's a lazy curly person's dream styling tool, truly.
Promising review:"OMG! I haven't had it for long, but I am a total convert. I shudder to call it a blow drier because it is not. It is a bit of magic. I have looong hair and wear extensions most of the time. It can take forever to blow dry! This takes no time at all! My hair always turns out beautiful, and the style stays!!! Even though I live in humid Florida. It's expensive but worth every penny for the time you'll save and how awesome your hair will look!!!!" — Jessica Z.
Get it from RevAir for $399.

Mom hailed as a ‘pro' after hauling her kids, 8 and 10, around Disney World — in a stroller: ‘She gave no f–ks'
A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. How someone chooses to parent their children is a personal decision — but when you share on social media how you go about it, people are bound to share their ruthless opinions. That's what happened to a Massachusetts mom named Nicki Marie when she posted a TikTok video of herself pushing her two kids in a stroller while at Disney. Advertisement No, these weren't toddlers getting wheeled around — they were grown kids — 8 and 10 years old, to be exact. 'When I got divorced, one of the first things I thought was, 'How will I do Disney with just me and two kids?'' Nicki Marie told in an interview. Advertisement To find a solution to her problem, Nicki Marie brought her stroller — nicknamed 'Kim' into the mix. 'I'm trying to let down my guard so my kids see me having fun. I bring a stroller because I'm anticipating what could go wrong that day,' she said in the interview. Technically, no one has publicly shamed this mom's stroller using ways, so she's the one doing the teasing: 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me,' the mom said. Despite poking fun at herself, she doesn't think too much about what other people think especially with her iconic voiceover choice in the video she shared, that said 'And she gave no f—s.' Advertisement However, people online have mixed thoughts on this single mom's stroller-loving ways. Most were positive and in support of her smart tactic. 'I'm making fun of myself before you point it out to me,' the single mom said. TikTok 'We went to Disney for the first time in March. My boys are 8 & 9, kinda wish we would have done a stroller lol.' Advertisement 'I fully support this. There is no way to make your kids walk these insane miles in the heat without taking a little water break in a shady stroller.' 'My husband and I are going next week, I'm just trying to figure out if I can have him push me in a stroller.' And of course, there were some haters — as expected. 'Absolutely not. My kids very rarely used a stroller and had no problem walking, including at Disney when they were 3. Hauling a stroller sucked.' 'None. Zero. After 30,000 steps and bell to bell, I'm not schlepping all the stuff and sleeping kids.'

Netflix Under the Stars: A Streaming Dream Turned into a Global Empire at Tudum 2025
Netflix Under the Stars: A Streaming Dream Turned into a Global Empire at Tudum 2025 originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Under the shimmering Los Angeles night sky, the Kia Forum was no longer just an arena—it had become a glittering cinematic universe. On May 31, 2025, Netflix hosted its most ambitious Tudum event to date, transforming the venue and its surrounding grounds into a living, breathing celebration of storytelling. Giant LED screens flickered with first looks, futuristic sculptures towered over photo opportunities, and a curated sensory playground of sights and sounds welcomed Hollywood's elite, Gen Z's TikTok royalty, and superfans from every corner of the the heart of it all was Ted Sarandos, the soul of son of a grandfather who emigrated from the breathtaking Greek island of Samos, Sarandos has never forgotten his roots. His rise through the entertainment industry reads like a screenplay of the American Dream—humble, determined, and electrifying. When he joined Netflix in the early 2000s, it was a scrappy tech company mailing DVDs in red envelopes. Fast-forward two decades, and Sarandos has helped sculpt it into a $416.22 billion entertainment titan with over 301.6 million subscribers worldwide. At Tudum 2025, the Greek-American CEO stood not only as a business leader but as the architect of a cultural what better way to honor that legacy than with a celebration that felt part film festival, part fashion show, part music video—and all Netflix. Lady Gaga Rises from the Dead—LiterallyThe moment that set social media ablaze came halfway through the night: an eerie silence descended on the Forum as smoke curled across the stage. Then, in a theatrical flourish only she could pull off, Lady Gaga rose from a blood-red coffin etched with the words 'Here Lies the Monster Queen.'Her entrance marked the debut of her original song 'Zombieboy', which she followed with a haunting rendition of 'Bloody Mary'—a track long associated with her fanbase's obsession with the supernatural. She closed her set with 'Abracadabra,' complete with dancers in gothic ballet corpses and floating chandeliers swaying to the performance wasn't just a concert—it was a proclamation. Gaga is officially joining Netflix's smash hit , playing the mysterious Professor Rosaline Rotwood in Season 2. The show returns in two parts—August 6 and September 3—turning Wednesdays into global events once more.'It's spooky. It's poetic. It's theatrical. It's me,' Gaga told Sofia Carson during a backstage segment streamed live to millions around the world. A Global Stage Built in Los AngelesBut Tudum 2025 wasn't only about what was on the screen. It was also about who showed up—and how Netflix brought its stories to life. Outside the Kia Forum, Netflix constructed an interactive 'Storyverse,' where fans could walk through immersive pop-ups themed after Squid Game, One Piece, Bridgerton, and even Happy Gilmore 2, starring an unretired Adam drone hovered, dazzled above the Forum as the audience roared in awe. LED arches pulsed with crimson and neon purple. Stylists, makeup artists, and celebrity glam teams brushed shoulders with TikTok creators, YouTubers, and journalists from Tokyo to São Paulo. The vibe was very much: the Emmys meets Coachella meets a designer-clad fever wasn't just a press event—it was a statement of cultural dominance. A Galaxy of Stars Beneath the Los Angeles SkyFollowing the live show, the action spilled into a lavish outdoor reception built entirely for the evening. Giant mirrored sculptures spun slowly in the breeze as guests sipped custom Netflix cocktails named after their favorite shows (yes, there was a Squid Game Sangria and a Sex Education Spritz). Oscar nominees clinked glasses with streaming darlings, and dancers performed on elevated platforms as ambient house music filled the among the crowd: Jenna Ortega, dressed in black lace and boots; Guillermo del Toro, deep in conversation with Rian Johnson; Addison Rae recording TikTok videos with the Stranger Things cast; and even Ben Affleck having fun with his best friend Matt Damon. It was a mosaic of entertainment—streaming, cinema, social, and everything in between. Legacy in Motion: Ted Sarandos and the Power of Global StorytellingAt the core of the evening was a quiet but powerful tribute to the man who made it all Sarandos didn't just bet on streaming—he bet on stories—international ones. Diverse ones. Risky ones. As Netflix grew, so did its mission: to empower creators everywhere, from Lagos to Lisbon, and from Norway to Argentina. It was Sarandos who saw potential in non-English language content before it became trendy. His greenlight of Money Heist, Squid Game, and Lupin turned local shows into global what drives him most isn't numbers—it's people. That, too, stems from his Greek-American heritage. The spirit of the Greek ideal of duty, which emphasizes doing good quietly, informs his leadership style. Sarandos is the person who knows the name of the camera operator, who checks in with junior executives, and who shares thoughts with filmmakers, because he understands that humans, not just algorithms, build Tudum, as he welcomed guests and thanked the team behind the event, Sarandos humbly deflected the spotlight. But make no mistake: it was his night. Netflix Hits a Record HighThe day after Tudum, Netflix stock hit an all-time high of $1,217.75, briefly making the company the second most valuable entertainment brand in the world. Netflix's market capitalization, or net worth, is approximately $416.22 billion—a staggering figure that underscores its dominance in the industry. And the ambition doesn't stop there: the company is aiming for a $1 trillion market cap by 2030, a goal that now feels less like a fantasy and more like a strategic inevitability. Industry insiders view the event not only as a celebration but also as a bold flex—proof that Netflix isn't just surviving in a crowded streaming space; it's thriving, innovating, and leading. As traditional studios grapple with theatrical declines and IP fatigue, Netflix has cracked the code: build community, embrace global voices, and create moments that feel personal, even when viewed by millions. The Night Stories Became MagicIn the final hour of the reception, as the lights dimmed and drones traced the Netflix 'N' across the stars, you could feel it: that unmistakable tingle of wonder. The same feeling you get watching a perfect pilot, reading a line of dialogue that hits too close, or losing sleep bingeing on something brilliant. That's what Tudum 2025 was about. Not just content, but connection. Not just a platform, but a pulse. And at the center of it all stood a man from a family of Greek immigrants—proof that sometimes the most powerful stories begin on a small island like Samos and end up reshaping the way the entire world watches TV.
