Warmer weather is great and all, but it comes with a host of problems nobody wants to deal with.
1. A salicylic acid-infused Sliick ingrown hair treatment solution that targets and prevents your bikini line's worst enemy. It should help reduce redness, bumps, and post-hair removal flare-ups for smoother skin, while also helping hydrate and soothe inflammation. Pool parties and beach days, here we come!
Amazon
Promising review: " I have terrible ingrown hairs. This product changes the game! I use it every time I get out of the shower: Put a little on a cotton pad and wipe in the waxed area. It brings any ingrown hairs to the surface. Consistency is the key to using this product." — Amanda Hudson
" Much cheaper than TendSkin but works exactly the same! Great stuff!" — Dee V
Get it from Amazon for $9.66.
2. An oscillating tower fan to shoo the heat right out of your room. Not only does this bladeless fan operate super quietly, but it also comes with a remote, so you don't have to leave your comfy spot to get even comfier. And with six speeds, you'll be able to find the perfect level of cool for you.
Promising review:"After moving into a traditional two-story home from a rancher, we wanted fans in our bedrooms to help keep them cool. I have struggled to find a ceiling fan I liked for our primary bedroom, so I finally decided to pick up this tower fan and give it a try. I am so impressed with how quiet it is and how much power it puts out. Having a remote is a major selling point with it being in our bedroom. It's slim and able to be tucked away into the corner out of sight when not in use, but it's not even an eyesore that I mind having out to be seen. It was easy to assemble in a matter of just two minutes without any help needed. I'm already looking into purchasing a second one for my large family room, as it has plenty of power to accommodate the space. The remote is easy to use, and I am thrilled with this purchase!" — Jai Banks
Get it from Amazon for $79.97+ (available in two styles and three colors).
3. A pair of polarized round sunglasses because you deserve to look fly while protecting your eyes from those pesky UV rays. These vintage-inspired glasses are durable and lightweight.
Promising review:"They are lightweight, polarized, and perfect for dealing with super sunny weather. I have a pair in my car all the time. Oh, and I've dropped them a million times and they don't break easily!" — sra
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in 15 colors, as well as individual pairs and packs of three).
4. A stainless-steel crack weeding tool if weeds think they're being clever by growing in the cracks of your patio or sidewalk. This sharp, L-shaped tool can remove the entire root without you needing to literally dig around for it. It's also got a soft grip handle because taking care of your home's outward appearance shouldn't be physically taxing.
Promising review:"Doesn't disrupt nearby plants. For weeds with long roots like bindweed, follow along the weed's root. You'll get a feel for it with practice. The tip has a sharper angle than my last one, so it's good for cutting the roots of shallow-rooted plants. It's a game-changer, for sure. Good, sturdy, well-made, and has a comfortable handle." — Hanna
Get it from Amazon for $13.15.
5. And a weed puller with a long handle so you don't have to bend down to fight a weed's tough roots with your bare hands. Get your spring garden in tip-top shape!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business that makes products that make the gardening, weeding, or harvesting of your land a little easier.
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that my husband and I bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard, and boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get." — JG
Get it from Amazon for $39.97.
6. A pack of 10 DEET-free mosquito-repellent bracelets that use essential oils to keep bloodsuckers away. Some reviewers suggest wearing one on your wrist and one on your ankle if you're in mosquito-dense areas.
Promising review:"I'm mosquito heaven and get eaten alive every spring and summer. I've used the spray bug stuff in the past, but I really don't like spraying it on my skin. I put one of these bracelets on an ankle and one on the opposite wrist before playing pickleball and haven't had one bite yet!" — Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $9.98.
7. A hassle-free screen-cleaning brush because your mesh window screens are coated in layers of dust, dirt, and dead bugs that make it dang near impossible to see the outside world. No need to remove the screens — just wet the brush (add soap if you wanna!), and easily scrub away debris.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
8. A topical hypochlorous acid spray if you need fast-acting relief from skin irritation, redness, itching, or sun sensitivity. This gentle, vegan formula can be used anywhere on your body. Comfort is on its way!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Lots of reviewers use this to help piercings heal!
Promising reviews:"As a fair-skinned person who's sensitive to heat and sun, gets itchy-dry eyes/lashes, this spray helps with all of that. I love using it in my skincare routine post-shower for added hydration. I'll also just randomly spritz throughout the day for a refresh, I'll spray on a cotton pad and wipe my eyelids down if they're irritated. If you've gotten a bit too much sun, this also works wonders. It's literally like the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and his Windex spray bottle — 'put some Windex on it' — noooo, put some hypochlorous acid spray on it because it'll 100% make it better!!" — Tara Peterson
"Better than Tower 28. Why spend the money on the brand name when this works so well, if not better!" — LAURA Martino
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and multi-packs).
9. A weekly Clorox pool clarifier to keep your pool's water from looking dull, hazy, or cloudy. It kills and prevents all types of pool algae. Now, you can cannonball without worrying about whether you'll be able to see your way back to the surface.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "After one year of having an in-ground pool in Florida, the water was cloudy. I tried to get the water clean by running the filter 24/7 and brushing daily for a week to no avail. I used 1 1/2 ounces of this and the water was clear a day later. Cleaned out the pool filter a day after to clear it all out. Happy with the purchase and would recommend to others." — jvb
Get it from Amazon for $10.29.
10. A Scumbug sponge you can plop into your pool or hot tub to soak up scum, slime, and grime, so you can enjoy your little dips in paradise this spring.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better but smells better, too! Highly recommended!" — Mickey D.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
11. Window screen repair tape because little flying pests are finding their way in through the tears in your screens. This triple-layered tape is waterproof so you don't have to worry about it peeling in the rain.
Promising review:"My screen had tiny holes in it, and flies were finding their way through. When I cut a piece of this screen repair, it actually stuck to the screen and stopped all the bugs! I had used other products, and they always rolled up and fell off! This repair hasn't moved and is still stuck on the screen! Even the sun hasn't dried it out!!! I recommend this tape to all reading this message!!!!" — Maureen D
Get it from Amazon for $6.63+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
12. And an easy-to-install magnetic screen door to keep out insects while letting in breezes.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Your search for door screens stops here! I initially purchased two previous screens from other companies. The first one kept flying open with the slightest breeze. The second one had a rip in the seam when I took it out of the box! I almost gave up, but decided to give this one a try! It's a WINNER! It was simple (that's saying a lot for me) to hang. It has tie-backs, which I use when my door is shut/blinds open, so I am not looking at the screen. I purposely didn't tie it back one night to put it to a high wind test, and it passed with flying colors (never flew open)!!!!! I purchased a second one for a friend. I love this screen!" — Karen
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five sizes).
13. A nourishing Garnier Fructis anti-frizz serum if the humidity makes your hair look like you've conducted a static electricity experiment. Give your dry locks a healthy dose of hydration — a gift from the argan oil in this serum — to give them a sleek and smooth appearance free of frizz.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "It's the best product I've found so far that humidity-proofs my hair without leaving it 'crunchy' for a price that's affordable. For reference, I have naturally curly, thick hair. Love, love, love this product! Five Stars!" — Lokiamus
"I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable. The argan oil infusion adds a touch of nourishment and helps to prevent future frizz. I'm so happy I finally found a product that actually works to control my unruly hair!" — Kleo
Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in multipacks).
14. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is now my go-to pet hair remover. I have a long-haired golden retriever, and my girl SHEDS a new dog's worth of hair almost daily. I've tried heavy-duty tape rollers, rake-style pet hair removers, but the ChomChom beats them all." — alw91

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors).
15. A hypoallergenic Aveeno body oil mist for soothing and moisturizing super sad, dry skin while also leaving behind a stunning, natural-looking glow.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'm terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light, pleasant scen t. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don't have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better, it makes me want to keep using it." — Slade
Get it from Amazon for $9.58.
16. A vegan and cruelty-free First Aid Beauty bump eraser scrub with 10% AHA to help you deal with any heat-induced "chicken skin" flareups. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling smooth and moisturized!
Promising review:"I've had KP forever, and I get flare-ups from heat, friction, and sweat on my legs really bad in summer. I use this exfoliator after I shave my legs, and it does wonders for the skin. Not only does it calm the angry bumps when I have a flare-up, but it also helps to soothe the skin and prevent future bumps. I don't know how I was surviving without this product for so long." — Lindsay
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three scents).
17. Soft chew allergy supplements that'll help your itchy pup stop scratching due to skin, seasonal, or environmental allergy issues. They're also rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics to support digestion and immunity.
Promising review:"We started using these because our dog got itchy ears every spring and fall. He would scratch until they bled. Poor buddy. I read that these had helped other dogs, so I gave them a shot. Not only did it completely take away that problem, but my dog LOVES to take his 'vitamins' every morning. If we forget, he reminds us very loudly as he scratches the cupboard where they're stored." — E. Johnson
Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes and five styles).
18. A non-medicated Mucinex saline nasal spray whose 2-in-1 nozzle has both a jet and a mist, so you can get the perfect amount of saline to deal with your level of congestion. Annoying allergies and sad sinuses have just met their match!
Read more about nasal rinses and allergies at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I seldom write reviews, but this nasal spray deserves its five stars. My nose was SO stopped up I couldn't breathe through it for several days. When this arrived, I put it to the test, and within 30 seconds, I could breathe. Magic! This stuff would be worth $100 a bottle. It really does work. So far, I've been nasal congestion-free for eight hours. If you are looking for a fast remedy, don't hesitate. This stuff is like having a decongestant genie in a bottle, granting your wish to smell the air once more." — Sad Eyes
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in multipacks).
19. A pack of ceiling fan carbon air filters to catch the pollen and pet dander making you sneeze up a storm this allergy season. These self-adhesive filters are made from coconut shells whose lightweight structure traps particles and contaminants. Yup, you can turn your ceiling fan into an air purifier!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99.

Promising review: "This thing is a game-changer. Ever since moving to Texas, I have suffered from terrible seasonal allergies. I never have in my life until now (turns out I'm allergic to a handful of trees that are native around here). For the past few weeks, my mornings have had me waking up congested and unable to breathe, blowing wads of snot out of my nose (sorry!), and with an itchy/scratchy sore throat. Then I found this little guy. I woke up this morning with NO allergy symptoms. None. No congestion, absolutely clear nasal passages, and NO sore throat at all! I'm blown away." — JJ
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two colors).
21. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil so you can have instantly matte skin. No more dabbing your face with a million small oil-blotting sheets.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." — Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $8.62.
22. An E.l.f. Cosmetics SPF 35 sunscreen whose gel-based formula will go on sooo smoothly you'll barely even know it's there (but I swear it is!). It's also quite invisible, so it won't leave behind any weird white cast. And if you need more proof that this sunscreen is badass, it can also double as a blurring primer!
BuzzFeed writer Jenae Sitzes is quite a fan:
"The packaging similarities are impossible to ignore, but that's not where the comparisons between this E.l.f. sunscreen and Supergoop's cult-fave product end. I've tried both, and I honestly prefer this E.l.f. version. Supergoop's had a slight graininess to it that I didn't love, while this E.l.f. sunscreen is exactly what I'd hoped Supergoop's would feel like: totally smooth and velvety. Like Supergoop's, it goes on totally clear and doesn't feel like you're wearing a mask; it sinks in immediately. And, of course, a major selling point: A 1.7-ounce bottle of E.l.f. Suntouchable will cost you $14, while Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen in the same size will put you back $38.
Now, it's worth noting that Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen has SPF 50, while E.l.f.'s product offers SPF 35. Both of these meet the American Academy of Dermatology's recommendation of using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, which blocks 97% of the sun's UVB rays. Anything over SPF 30 offers only slightly more protection (and nothing can block 100% of the sun's rays), yet the higher the number, the more brands tend to charge. So do with that info what you will! This isn't the only SPF I use, but I love having it in my arsenal, especially when I do want to layer makeup on top!"
Promising review: "This sunscreen is a gem. I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. I absolutely love E.l.f. products, but I rarely try their skincare. Something told me to try this. When I put it on, it gave a smooth silicone finish and feel. I was faithful to Supergoop but didn't want to spend as much as the product was listed for. I will continue to use this sunscreen; it has been one of the best I've ever tried. I've been into skincare since I was 15; I am 37, and for me to say that this product is a gold mine is rare." — Angelina S
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a mini size if you're on the fence about committing to a full tube).
23. A pair of sockless shoe liners so your feet don't overheat in actual socks. A spring without sweaty, smelly socks? Sounds like a win to me. These no-slip and no-show liners are also washable!
The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.
Promising review: "My shoes get so sweaty, and these flat socks make them wearable in the hot Texas summer! I already bought another pair! They have already been washed, and they are still perfect." — lane hardgrave
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).
24. A clinical-strength Secret deodorant because it provides 72 hours of sweat and odor protection. Stress, heat, and activity are no match for this antiperspirant.
Amazon
Promising review:"I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work, and this stuff works! I don't have to reapply. This doesn't leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" — Zindarella
Get it from Amazon for $8.19 (also available in a two-pack).
25. And a pack of 30 aluminum-free deodorant wipes if the heat is causing you to sweat and smell while you're out socializing. These will remove odors and leave behind a coconut-y scent. Keep these handy wipes in your purse so you can freshen up anywhere!
Amazon
Promising review:"I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." — Vicky Reyes
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
26. A pair of reusable nipple pasties for those 'fits you just don't wanna wear an uncomfortable bra with, especially since an extra layer means extra heat. These have thin edges that don't appear under clothing and use a medical-grade adhesive that's gentle on skin.
Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa
Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two styles, three sizes, and five shades).
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
27. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion containing tea tree oil to help treat breakouts. It's especially helpful if the heat gives you swamp butt. Truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby's bottom.
28. A Megababe anti-chafing balm because springtime = wearing shorts and wearing shorts = rubbing your thighs raw if you're not careful. Formulated with aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil, this balm will also work to moisturize and soothe your skin.
Megababe
Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer.
Promising review:"I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I've been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I've gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I'm excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" — Queen268
Get it from Amazon for $13.97, Megababe for $14, or Target for $13.99.
29. Seamless bra liners made from a cotton and bamboo blend that'll not only help with boob sweat but will also alleviate any discomfort from underwires. These moisture-wicking liners are gentle and breathable.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious, life-changing product: thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." — Niko
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and several color combos).
30. A high-voltage bug zapper since being outside is supposed to be fun, not a battle against the bloodsuckers. This will also get those annoying gnats, moths, and flies zooming around.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" It's been a game-changer for my outdoor living experience. If you've been struggling with pesky mosquitoes, flies, and other flying insects invading your outdoor space, this innovative bug zapper might be the perfect solution. First and foremost, the bug zapper's effectiveness is impressive. It effortlessly attracts and eliminates a wide range of flying pests. The bright UV light lures insects in, and the high-voltage electric grid takes care of the rest. The coverage area is substantial, making it perfect for patios, decks, gardens, and more. I've noticed a considerable reduction in the number of annoying insects buzzing around while I enjoy my outdoor activities." — CZP10C
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
31. And for inside, a light-up plug-in insect trap with a discreet inner glue card that's free of chemical insecticides, so it's safe around kids and pets. This trap catches house flies, fruit flies, and gnats, and keeps them hidden until you're ready to replace the glue card.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"We have a door in the kitchen that leads to the yard, and live in a wooded area. We always have small bugs coming in through this door because we are always in and out with the dog. There was a week or two where we were seeing gnats or flies EVERY DAY. After we bought this, we saw a major difference. We don't bother trying to kill anything now, as they all eventually follow the light. We leave it plugged in all day and night and love the results. We have four more replacement cards, and they don't fill up easily, so I can see the cards lasting a while. My favorite part is that it acts as a night-light, and the sticky part is on the back, so we don't even see the flies sticking to it until we unplug. Love the sleek and simple design of the plug-in as well. I'm so happy I don't have to take out the swatter anymore. Highly recommend this product!" — Priscilla
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in multi-packs).
32. Or packs of ready-to-use fruit fly traps for luring and killing the fruit flies trying to take over your home. Just pour the included liquid bait into the "apple," and let it do its work. And each trap lasts for up to 45 days!

Get two packs of two traps (four total) from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in larger pack sizes).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product works great! The foam is very easy to trim to size and fits perfectly in the sleeve. The sleeve is heavy-duty and well-made.

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
34. Some heavy-duty, dual-sided outdoor cleaning wipes — each wipe has stain-grabbing nubs to make removing dirt and grime from your picnic table, grill, and flower pots super easy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a brick patio. When I bought this house, it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April, I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August, and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on, you may think that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quickly and looks the same as it did before, but wow, does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
36. An outdoor heater, because you shouldn't have to retreat indoors when it gets a little chilly outside, especially at night. It has wheels so you can easily move it to the perfect place!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Looks and works great. Got these for an outdoor patio event at our home, and everyone was impressed with the warmth and look. Had many compliments, and everyone wanted to know where we got them. Easy to set up and use. Excellent patio heaters!" — Amazon Customer

Promising review:"When it comes to breaking out on the scalp (yes, it happens to me when it's hot), I need something to relieve the inflammation. That's where this product comes in handy." — BlurredVision
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.
38. An SPF 30 Sun Bum scalp and hair mist since you probably forget that the top of your head needs sun protection, too. Formulated with sea kelp and algae, this fast-frying formula also hydrates. Plus, it smells good!
Amazon
Promising review:"If you like to wear your hair down in a part, if you have a middle part when you wear your hair up, if you have thinner hair, this is the right product for you. No more sunburn scalp nightmares. We all hate when our scalp gets sunburnt and, as it heals, gets flakes on our scalp or hairline peeling. Fret no more and buy this product. It doesn't make your hair greasy and is perfect for spraying your hairline, scalp, part, etc. I do this with my child's hair a lot because the sun just seems to stream right through her hair. She hates wearing hats to the pool, so I take this every time I go to avoid her scalp getting sunburnt. Some of the other scalp sprays are grittier and greasier. This is not. It's a little pricey but well worth the money!" — Kaylee E Agin
