Reviewers Over 50 Swear By These 22 Hair Care Products
A moisturizing L'Oréal Paris in-shower hair treatment for those of you who don't have the time *or* the money to be sitting in a salon chair all day but still want some luscious-looking locks. Leave this lamellar water treatment in for 8 seconds, yes...8 seconds only, and rinse out for silkier, shinier, healthier-looking hair. A splurge-worthy Sol de Janeiro hair and body mist — seems like everyone wants to get their hands on it. It comes in the same vanilla and caramel scent as the beloved Bum Bum Cream and might just have people telling you, "Ooooh, you smell so good!" An air-dry leave-in curl cream made to enhance your natural curls and tame frizz. No need to damage your hair with hot styling tools, this blend of coconut oil and shea butter nourishes your locks and makes them smell great too! An anti-humidity spray to give you that salon "wow" feeling at home, and for way cheaper. This fights off frizz and leaves you with silky-looking hair. FYI, this spray is heat activated, so it's ideal to use this on damp hair and blow-dry for best results. A dandruff shampoo so you can finally get rid of those itchy, dry flakes once and for all. This is made with 1% ketoconazole, which gets to the ~root~ of the dandruff and makes sure that your scalp will look nice and clear. A dry shampoo powder if your hair has been looking like it's been a while since wash day. Tap this on to say goodbye to greasy roots and make it look like your hair got a nice lil' refresh. Plus, this is TSA friendly, which makes it great for traveling. K18 — it does a stellar job at restoring moisture and softness to hair that has been through a lot, whether it's from bleaching or just frequent hot tool use. Many reviewers say this leave-in reparative treatment is like "magic in a bottle!" Or a budget-friendly collagen-coating hair treatment with collagen and ceramide 3 to treat hair that's been through intense heat or sun damage. Use this in between your shampoo and conditioner and leave it in for five minutes — soon enough, you'll have silky soft hair! And a splurge-worthy bottle of Olaplex No. 3 that's totally worthy of all the hype since it'll help repair and strengthen your dry, damaged hair. After using this, you'll be telling all your friends, "Feel how soft my hair is!" A detangling brush to help make dealing with knots and tangles a less painful part of your hair care routine. The flexible bristles glide through your hair and make sure there's no yanking, pulling, or tears. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo if your "bleach and tone" is looking yellow and brassy. This will help neutralize your color and bring back your blonde or gray locks. A Chi automatic curling iron for those who are tired of putting so much effort into curling their hair or those who always find a way to accidentally burn their fingers on the hot barrel. This will automatically curl your hair, and the outer casing protects your fingers from any potential ouches! Or a set of flexible curling rods that prove you don't always need a hot tool to give you the results you've been wishing for. You just wrap your hair around these soft rods, go to bed (they're comfortable enough to sleep in), and wake up with stunning curls! An argan oil hair mask to give your hair that hair commercial-worthy shine and moisture you've been wanting. Your dry hair and split ends will thank you for buying this since its paraben- and sulfate-free formula will make your locks look oh-so-luscious. A Mielle rosemary mint scalp oil that contains biotin and jojoba oil, which can help nourish your scalp and make hair look fuller and thicker. It's got over 74,000 5-star reviews, and people love how it smells, too! A curl-activating cream to help reduce breakage and frizz for all you curly-haired folks. Whether you use this at night before bed or to style your mane in the morning, you'll see bouncy, defined curls like never before, thanks to the blend of vitamins and shea butter that nourishes and detangles. A Revlon hot air brush because the Dyson Airwrap costs an arm and a leg and this round brush gives you the same, if not better, bouncy blowout results. This dries *and* styles at the same time, saving you some extra time in the morning! Or a 3-in-1 hot tool that's got interchangeable heads so you can choose how much va-va-va-voom you want when blow-drying and styling your hair. A scalp massager you can use in the shower to help exfoliate your head and make sure all that shampoo really gets into those roots. A Verb hair oil because the only ghost here is the ghost of the person you were when you had frizzy hair and constant flyaways. This moringa-infused oil tames frizz, and reviewers with hair textures from straight to 4c love this because it makes their hair look shinier and feel softer. A hair repair serum with argan oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E to make your hair shine like the star you are while keeping the frizz at bay. Reviewers love how lightweight this feels and that it doesn't leave their hair feeling super oily or greasy. A color-depositing conditioner — great if you find yourself wanting a little color refresh when you're in between salon appointments. With every wash, your hair color will become more vibrant, and it'll save you the hassle of messing with at-home box dyes.

'Olaplex's latest volume-boosting launch is a game-changer for fine hair like mine'
Leading bond-building haircare brand Olaplex has just launched two new products designed to not only strengthen and repair fine hair but also add volume and bounce Olaplex hair products – in particular the iconic No.3 Hair Perfector treatment – are loved worldwide for their ability to strength, repair and rebuild strands, especially if you regular colour or heat-style your hair. Olaplex also makes a brilliant shampoo and conditioner for everyday upkeep, but those with fine or flat hair who've tried it may have found it to be a little heavy for their hair. Now, however, there's a new solution. Olaplex has just launched new versions of its shampoo and conditioner specially designed for fine hair. No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner cost £14 for little 100ml bottles and £28 for 250ml bottles, and contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and soften hair, plus a 'Hydra-Balancing Matrix' that cleanses and conditions tresses, without weighing them down. Additionally (and different to the original shampoo and conditioner), there are also flexible polymers in the formula, which help to give the hair volume and lift from the roots. As someone with long, fine hair myself that's prone to looking limp and flat – yet is also regularly bleached – I'm super excited to try out this new hair-washing duo. I have used and loved the original Olaplex shampoo and conditioner in the past but do find it a little rich for my thin hair, so these new launches sound like they're exactly what my haircare routine has been missing. I've also recently been using Olaplex's No.5 Leave In Moisturize and Mend Leave In Conditioner, £30, on the ends of my hair, which I think is doing wonders for my straggly strands. I also always have a bottle of the brand's hero product, No.3 Hair Perfector, in my bathroom for intense treatments after it's been coloured – and right now the cheapest you'll find it is at Amazon, where a 100ml bottle is down from £28 to £19.50. Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector Repairing Hair Treatment is suitable for all hair types, but those with dry or damaged hair will particularly benefit from its repairing properties. It contains hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol and jojoba seed oil to give your hair the boost it needs. Although some confuse it with a conditioner or hair mask, Olaplex No.3 actually works from the inside out on every strand, helping to repair bonds that have been broken by things like heat styling, bleaching and wear and tear. Over time your hair will start to look and feel softer and stronger, and be less prone to breakage or split ends. If you're after a cheaper alternative, L'Oréal Paris' Elvive Bond Repair range is a great option, and with bundles often hugely reduced in price; for example, you can now buy the four-piece Full Routine Bundle for £31.99 on Lookfantastic instead of the usual price of £57.96 – a saving of 45%. And if thinning hair or hair loss is more of a concern, we've been impressed by the before and after results from Hairburst's Advanced+ Hair Formula, which costs £55.99 for a month's supply.

33 Practical Products That Are Downright Responsible Purchases
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Including two picks that might just help you make coffee at home — for real this time. 1. A ChomChom roller ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets 'til you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out. PS: ChomChom is a small biz! Here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes (those are her photos above!): " I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside." Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 2. A veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion as impressively as former VP Kamala Harris. If you haven't seen it, I'm gonna need you to open another tab and promptly google "Kamala Harris and Mindy Kaling cook masala dosa" because, man, it is a thing of beauty. Amazon Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of their veggie chopper in action. Promising review:"This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today, plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years, and I love this so much I had to review it straight away!" — david fasnacht Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors). 3. Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment — it works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The Ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say this $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3! Promising reviews:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles " THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick curly hair, and they said it works amazing on them, too. Just do it once a week and you're set!" — Mid-west Get it from Amazon for $7.60. Read our review of Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why one BuzzFeeder calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for." 4. A pack of ceiling fan carbon filters that basically turn your overhead fan into an air purifier. The activated coconut carbon filters — which stick to your fan blades via self-adhesive strips — work overtime to capture dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and VOCs! 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 "We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them! There is less dust on our furniture, and the general air quality in our rooms has improved. There is no longer dust build-up on our fan blades. Super easy to install!" — Hannah McClam Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21.99. 5. A Scrub Daddy cleaning bundle with everything you need to tackle that cracked molasses bottle that has now adhered itself to your pantry shelf. Sure, you noticed it a few weeks ago, but you weren't mentally prepared to address it quite yet — and you didn't have a Scrub Mommy on your side. What's included: Three Scrub Mommy sponges, PowerPaste, Tangerine Clean, and PowErase Gel. Promising review: "First of all this was a really great deal, three sponges and three cleaners. Each sponge is a different color so that you can use them for separate things. Blue for bathroom, pink for dishes, etc. The gel cleanser stuff is my absolute favorite! A little goes a long way, but I have used it to remove stains from my kids clothes, wash the counters, windows, mirrors. It's like a miracle all-in-one cleaner, and best of all it's non-toxic. There's no bleach or nasty chemicals that hurt my nose or hands when cleaning. I really love this stuff!" — Arielle Stewart Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 6. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets that take your go-to water bottle from nasty to gleaming in just minutes. Idk who needs to hear this, but "rinsing" it with water everyday isn't enough. 😔 Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8. 7. A handy portable car vacuum if your toddler's favorite game is to throw their Cheerios all over the backseat and then grind them into the cushions and floorboards on their way out of the car. 🙃 It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Best little thing ever!!! Don't have to pay $20 a month for a car wash lol." — Alissa Littlejohn Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in four styles). 8. A pair of machine-washable "flat socks" that create a moisture-wicking barrier between your foot and your shoe's insole so you don't end up with stinky, sweaty dogs. If your next travel plans include a day at Disney, walking 60,000 steps in a new-to-you city, or people-mover-ing a mile from airport security to your terminal, these bad boys will come in handy. Promising review: "Wow! They're better than I hoped for. They fit my shoes great, and they don't slide at all. They look cute, and they wash really well. The first time I washed them, I was nervous, but they came out of the dryer looking good as new. They don't smell at all after wearing them, and they are very comfortable. I definitely recommend them!!" — MelJoy Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and nine designs). 9. Some 100% bio-based face wipes — they're just the ticket if BeautyTok has convinced you to ditch regular towels, which, even when freshly laundered, can harbor acne-causing bacteria. These are 100% USDA-certified bio-based, meaning they're made entirely from plant-based materials and better for the environment than your regular disposable wipes. Clean Skin Club is a small business that launched in 2019 to create innovative natural skincare products. Promising reviews: " Starting in my 30s, I had developed some acne, and not just around that time of month. I read your bath towels can develop bacteria every few days if they're not washed, and so putting that on your face can cause acne. That's why I bought these towels! I use them after my skincare routine on my face, and then again, to clean up our sink (yay for double use)! They have cleaned up my skin significantly, and I highly recommend these!" — Jaclyn O "I've dealt with mild acne and terrible scarring since I was in 8th grade. I'm 30 now. I haven't had one pimple since I've switched to using these. I use the same towel for about 3–4 days, which is 6–8 uses, so it's not even necessary to use a new one every day / every use. They're really wonderful." — Dami Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in other pack sizes). 10. A roll-on sunscreen sponge if you can't stannnnnd greasy hands — especially when you're surrounded by sand. Just fill it up with your SPF of choice and use the roller ball to easily apply it. It's so simple that kids can even get in on the action. Amazon Reviewers recommend using a more watery sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you. And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the equivalent of a shot glass) of sunscreen to cover their face and body adequately. Promising review: "Not just for kids. I told all my friends it's awesome. Pricey, but better than wasting expensive sunscreen in globs. This makes the sun screening process much less messy and not as much of a drudgery. They even have replacement pads available so the ergonomic container can be reused indefinitely. Consider one to keep at home and one packed to travel. MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS. They can almost apply sunscreen on their own with little assistance." — Bette Henry Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (available in 10 colors). 11. Some Lee Beauty callus remover that eliminates the hard skin on your hooves (ahem, :::clears throat::: feet) if you're too terrified to face the glorified cheese grater at your local salon. Promising review: "I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those used tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 12. A set of adjustable mug organizers so you can confidently open your cupboard knowing an avalanche of mugs isn't about to fall on you. Elypro — the creator of this nifty product — is a small biz! Promising review: "I came across these in an Amazon review on TikTok and I just had to have them for my mugs. I have a lot of mugs, but no space. I didn't want a hanging mechanism for the mugs I just needed a way to stack them. This is such a great product to help stack mugs. They're easily adjustable for any size mug. They don't topple over, they're very sturdy. One of the best space savers I have in the kitchen!" — Magdalynn Tibbetts Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 13. A durable plastic clear toy blocker if your pet's favorite pastime is shoving their toys under the oven and then full-volume barking/meowing at you until you free them, just to repeat the process all over again. Amazon It can also be used to help discourage smaller animals from hiding under furniture! Promising review: " This product is GENIUS! My husband and I jokingly said how we wished there was something we could put under our couches to block toys from being lost under there and with one good old Amazon search, of course it exists! We used to spend literally a half hour each night trying to knock the toys back out from under the couch with a broom and now we never have to do that again. It was quick and easy to install and now toys bounce right off of it and go back to the center of the living room making for the easiest cleanup ever." — Truthful_Reviews Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in eight sizes). 14. A set of bedsheet holders that are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over. Each pack comes with four bands that can stretch from 12–18 inches and hold adequate tension. Promising review:"These bands are great! We have an adjustable bed and had bought sheets that are big enough but they pop off constantly — to the point where I had all but given up on keeping them on the bed. I looked up ways to fix the problem without having to buy new sheet sets in a bigger size and found these. They are super easy to use, so if they aren't working right, that's due to user error. These little guys are a time-saving genius idea that I wish I would have purchased years ago." — K Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and four pack sizes). 15. A medication tracker you can stick to the side of any prescription you regularly forget to take. Now there'll be noooo question as to whether that headache you have is from existing solely on iced coffee or the fact that you've gone three days without your Prozac. Promising review:"I absolutely love this product! I have a couple of daily medications, and oftentimes I forget whether I've taken them and/or whether I've taken the second dose. Recently, I inadvertently took a double dose because I couldn't remember whether I had taken the medication or not. This product solves the problem. There is even a satisfying feeling I get when I 'click' the tabs. Genius little invention." — Tiffany Maggard Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in a two-pack). 16. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows because you haven't replaced yours in ohhh, three or four years? If they have sweat marks and unexplained stains... they're a lost cause, boo. Amazon, Promising review: "I've been on the hunt to buy a down pillow like the ones I slept on at the top-rated Loews Hotel in Philly. This is that pillow! I've bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I've ever bought that didn't hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won't regret it. I never write reviews but just had to because I know the search for pillows is difficult when you can't feel them. I promise you won't regret it!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes; clip the coupon for 20% off this price!) 17. A tub of The Pink Stuff that can clean anything you throw at it be it shower fixtures or toothpaste-covered countertops. Check it out on TikTok here! And here's what BuzzFeed editor/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say: "After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning." Promising review:"For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built-up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn't noticed, which had probably been there for years. I've tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn't work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy I started cleaning other items: the stainless sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50, I'll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE." — RVT Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 18. A shelving unit designed specifically for your water bottle and travel mug collection. First, TikTok got you to buy a Stanley and then it got you to buy an Owala, and honestly, you know you'll get whatever's next, too. PS: YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"I have a bad habit of buying reusable water bottles. This one is cute, this one has this feature, this one has that. What resulted was a cluttered cabinet, a ton of water bottles falling on me every time I went to get one, and I was only using the handful right at the front. This is a great solution! It keeps the cupboard organized, and I can see what I have and quickly grab the bottle I need. As a bonus, it also creates a built-in limitation on how many water bottles I can have at any given time. Really recommend." — Miki Get it on Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer is regular firm ones, and the other is longer ones that are 10 times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for a while now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong. The statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. The bristles are soft — but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product." — Lisa Stepanski Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 20. A self-expanding shower curtain that gives you way more room, prevents dreaded curtain cling, and doesn't require a curved rod! It's so easy to set up, you don't even need rings. Amazon Space is a small business that's passionate about eliminating curtain cling and giving people more shower space! Their design is also machine-washable, so you don't have to replace it like a run-of-the-mill liner. Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building, so I have an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time I'd shower, I'd be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move, either. I'm no longer attacked by my shower curtains. 100% would purchase again." — Brittany Hopkins Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in five colors). 21. A foldable nonslip sink cover if you have zeroooo vanity space to work with. This lil' tray gives you a sturdy surface without blocking your faucet, so if you're doing makeup and need to wet your Beautyblender, you don't have to rearrange everything. PS: Sink Topper is a small biz! Promising reviews: "Worth every penny! I was about to buy a brand new vanity! This product saved me over $1,000 bucks!" — Barbara Mulvey "Came across this on IG, and immediately went looking for one. It's very well designed in terms of stability, so as long as you obviously put your heavier items along the perimeter, it's super sturdy. I'm moving, and there is no sink space at the new place, so this is simply a godsend (especially with the hot flat iron issue and not wanting to burn the sink). The faucet gap is perfect, so if anyone needs to use the sink while you're getting ready, you don't have to move everything. It's just a really solid product, and I'm glad I came across it." — J Kit Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 22. A magnetic laundry guard that prevents items from falling into no man's land — aka the two inches of lint-caked space between your washer/dryer and the wall. Promising review:"Oh, how I love this laundry guard! I have very little counter space in my laundry room and this allows me to use all that space on top of the washer and dryer for folding clothes. No more fishing socks and underwear from behind the machines! I love it, and so does everyone else who visits and sees it for the first time. The magnets hold it in place very well. There is not a lot of shifting unless I throw something large and heavy up there, but it's an easy adjustment to get it back in place. Good quality, not flimsy at all. I highly recommend this product." — Christa Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in two colors). 23. A tube of BodyGlide anti-chafe balm because enjoying the breeze for a few hours in a pair of shorts or a skirt shouldn't result in a days-long angry red rash. Amazon, Promising review:"The real hero of every music festival. I wore (and shared with friends) at a very hot, sweaty Bonnaroo with ZERO CHAFING. This has zero odor or stickiness, and lasts a long time. I'll bring it with me anywhere I might be sweating and walking in shorts or a skirt. A must-have for the summer." — Kelliente Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and packs of one or two). 24. A bottle of COSRX snail mucin repairing essence that addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌 Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: " I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Promising review: "The reviews didn't lie! This serum is amazing. It is better than my $125 department store brand! Some people said it felt slimy, but if you've used other serums, there's no difference in texture. I wait 'til it's dry before adding my moisturizers and am very pleased!" — MAK Get it from Amazon for $18.95. 25. A flat outlet plug designed to be placed behind furniture or in other areas where you'd like to eliminate some clutter because visible cords are the absolute bane of your existence. Promising review: "Very, very nice. I am a renter so putting a huge hole in the wall to hide my wires was not going to happen. After searching for something that could help with the look of the wires in my living room, I was glad to have come across this socket! I love it. I just installed it last night, I'm extremely happy with the look and the adhesive works really good. I highly recommend it :)" — Nlizr Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four different lengths). 26. Anua's Heartleaf Cleanser — it goes after blackheads and general congestion so aggressively that some reviewers even say you can see 👀 the dirt and dead skin get flushed out. Promising review: "WOW GUYS!!!! This pore-cleansing oil is AMAZING!!! My cousin told me about how it went viral on TikTok, so I thought I would try it, and it's been working wonders. I have tried so many face washes and nose strips, but with this, my blackheads and pores are shrinking tremendously. It also smells good and makes my skin very soft. I use it right after I get out of the shower while my pores are still warm and opened up — then I rub circles with two squirts of the oil on my face for about a minute and rinse it off. This is a miracle worker!!! Goodbye blackheads!!" — SK Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 27. A cold brew coffee maker with — if you can even believe it — more than 52,000 5-star Amazon reviews! The BPA-free pitcher can make four servings of cold brew at a time and with whatever ground coffee you prefer. After you let it steep, a fine-mesh filter keeps the grounds from flowing into your cup. Promising review: "This Takeya cold brew coffee jug is wonderful! This cold brew jug has only four pieces: the jug, the handle, the lid, and the coffee filter. The coffee filter has an extremely fine mesh, and it has not let through even the finest of coffee grounds. It is really easy to clean! The coffee will have a great flavor within eight hours; however, it is most potent by 24 hours and stays fresh up to 72 hours, in my opinion. Overall, I am really pleased with this purchase!" — LiliBelle Get it from Amazon for $16.69+ (available in two sizes and three colors). Interested in reading more? Check out our full review of the cold brew maker. 28. Or if you already have a Keurig or coffeepot — a HyperChiller beverage cooler that allows you to turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds flat. Just promise yourself that you'll fill the container with water and keep it in your freezer so it's always ready when you need it. The dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either. Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e., daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn't want the bitter flavor from two-day-old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChiller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" — Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $12.75+ (available in five colors). 29. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash so you can still take a moment to treat yourself even if you don't have time for an everything shower. Reviewers say the white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber scent lasts on their skin all day and even delightfully lingers in their bathroom. BuzzFeeder Emma Lord is a fan! Here's what she has to say: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 30. A pack of duster sponges that — once dampened — collect ALL the dust, dirt, and pet hair that's accumulated on your shelves and around your baseboards. Tis' the time for their once-yearly clean! Promising reviews: "These are exactly like the Scrub Daddy's. Only hella cheaper." — kr425 "I had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name-brand damp duster, except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fav thing." — onon Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of two, four, and eight and in five colors). 31. An as-seen-on- Shark Tank seat gap filler you can pop in your center console to ensure you never drop another french fry, phone, or credit card into that evil little crevice!!! Amazon Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I bought this product because I saw it on Shark Tank. I was a little skeptical at first, so I installed it and tried dropping my car keys into the seat gap, and surely enough, they wouldn't fall in. I tried dropping them from every position: in front of the seat buckle, behind the seat buckle, in the middle of the seat gap, you name it, and no matter where I put my keys, they just wouldn't fall through. This product should be in every car! I'm so impressed by this product I've bought additional Drop Stops for every member of my immediate family." — Amazon Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99. 32. A gel polish starter kit if you're sick of paying $60+ for a basic mani (plus that's not including tip) and you've got plenty of time on your hands anyways. Amazon What's included: Base coat, cuticle fork, pusher and oil, bristle brush and brush duster, nail file and buffer, nail clipper and separators, 12 gel polish colors, gloss-shine top coat, and matte top coat. Promising review: "Goodbye, salon. Hello, my new pastime. I absolutely love this kit, and I tell everyone. I do my own nails now. They look salon quality for literally pennies. I use all Beetles products. There is a learning curve, but practice and patience make perfect and then your nails look bomb. This kit helps as you don't have to try to mix and match everything — it's all in one place. These are quality products. The kit does not disappoint." — Sara_Nicole Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 variations). 33. A WD-40 pen so you can easily lubricate all of the squeaky hinges in your home. Now, you'll be able to close your doors in peace. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

The top six ways to reverse aging hair, according to a celebrity hair stylist - including the amazing serum that can turn back the clock while you sleep
The sun is shining and, as we polish off our Easter eggs, it's time to start thinking about summer – which for many women means a new look. As an international hair stylist with a client list including royalty, billionaires and celebrities, I know that the right hair can take years off you and that getting it wrong instantly ages even the world's most beautiful women. Nobody wants that! So, how can you get it right and what must you avoid at all costs? NO, A FRINGE IS NOT BETTER THAN BOTOX Women ask me all the time if they should have a fringe cut to avoid needing Botox (or at least reduce their trips to the clinic). While bangs may be kinder to your bank account, remember a solid, horizontal fringe may be doing more harm than good if you want to knock the years off. Over time, it's normal for faces to become squarer as gravity takes its inevitable toll and even the most chiselled of jawlines soften. Adding horizontal lines, such as a jaw-length bob or a straight-across fringe will enhance this square shape. What you need to go for are softer, choppy and sweepy fringe shapes that will not block off the forehead but gently frame the eyes and cheekbones. And there's a bonus to these cuts – they grow out in a more forgiving manner, meaning lower maintenance and more versatility when styling. GO DOWN TO THE HAIR GYM! Covering your greys, or adding brightness with highlights and depth with lowlights, can be instantly anti-ageing. However, losing sight of how your natural colour changes over the years may eventually result in an overdyed, unflattering tangle. Just as a toned, fit body looks youthful, the key to turning back the clock with your hair is getting it in great condition – and overdyed hair does not brim with vitality. How to fix it? My advice is – deep breaths – to let your roots grow out longer than you normally would, at least every couple of years. Book a consultation to assess the changes in your natural hair (increasing greys, change in tone, texture or density). For the most youthful and flattering results, it's always best to use your natural colour as a starting point. BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY... I do not subscribe to the maxim that as you age hair needs to be cut shorter. It's important to consider the quality and texture of your hair, not focus on its length. Keep your hair as long as you fancy, just ensure you're taking care of its condition and the shine. To keep long hair healthy, regularly trimming fragile or wispy ends is crucial, plus having weekly strengthening treatments and nightly applications of a quality hair serum (Olaplex No.3 and No.7 are ideal for this – both £28, – or try the Bread Hair-Oil - £13, If you find your hair texture is changing over time and fighting against frizz is becoming more challenging, an in-salon keratin treatment can be life-changing on the right hair types, and the effect can last for months. UPGRADE YOUR HAIRDRYER Regular use of a 'just-a-little-bit-too-hot' hairdryer can rapidly damage your hair, causing dullness and frizz. If you don't have the self-discipline – or simply the time – to blow-dry your hair on a medium heat setting, it's worth investing in some clever 'hair tech' to safeguard your hair health. The fact is that healthy hair is one of the most anti-ageing attributes a woman can have – and the opposite is just as true. Yes, it's pricey, but the Dyson Supersonic Nural (£399.99) offers fast, intelligent drying – no more accidental over-heating, which means more expensive-looking hair in the long-term. DON'T FORGET YOUR REAR VIEW Over time, your crown area can become thinner, coarser and more susceptible to parting further back after a night spent pressed into your pillow. Which is why it's a good idea to double check how your hair looks from behind before leaving the house. A split crown is easily fixed by simply massaging your damp fingertips on any stubborn partings before brushing back into place. If necessary, a quick blast with a hairdryer will give you more control. Colouring your greys with dense or opaque dye will drain warmth from your skin tone. Try a more translucent dye – professionals call this a 'demi-permanent' or a scattering of highlights in areas where you notice your roots are greyer. To help your hair look shinier and livelier, greys can be toned to softer shades of brown or blonde rather than heavily coloured.

30 Hair Products That Work So Well, Reviewers Have Called Them "Sorcery," "Wizardry," Or Just Plain "Magic"
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. "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. 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. 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~. 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. 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! Kitsch is an LA-based woman-owned small biz that specializes in hair accessories. 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. 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~. Cécred Cécred is founded and owned by Beyoncé! 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 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 Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 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. Mane Club is a California-based small biz that specializes in cruelty-free, vegan haircare products. Check out how one user transforms their straight hair into waves using One Hit Wonder in this TikTok! And check out our Mane Club 10-in-1 spray review for more deetz! 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 a witch. A blow-drying brush sounds like a win to me. 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. 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. 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, 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.

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 swearssss by this stuff. 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 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. 23. SoCozy curl conditioning spray to take you *and* your kiddo's curls from ehh to ehhh-mazing without any nasty parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Breakage, buh bye. Elasticity and bounce, helloooooo! Check out a TikTok of the SoCozy Curl Spray in action. Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. 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. It'll turn your daily hair routine into a comedy show with a happy ending – no bad hair days here! 💁♀️🪄"— SKrebs Get it from Amazon for $6.71 (available in two sizes and in a two-pack). 24. A Briogeo leave-in conditioning spray that'll help you say buh-bye to that frizz! Using coconut oil and argan oil, this leave-in spray is suitable for all kinds of hair, from straight to wavy to curly. ANDDD it'll help with tangles and knots. How is that so? Glinda the Good Witch, that's how — the only explanation I can think of. 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. THIS PRODUCT IS A MIRACLE. Simply amazed." — The Shrike Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 25. A bottle of bonding glue if you are one of God's favorites and have the magic touch with frontal wigs. So if you go to an amusement park and have the fear of your wig flying off on a ride, this will ease your mind cuz that bb isn't going anywheeeere! Avoid putting the glue on your hairline/hair, because it will form a strong bond to it. You don't want to accidentally rip out your edges, so make sure your hair is protected with a wig cap! Check out this reviewer using the wig glue to lay their wig on TikTok! Promising review:"This glue worked magic on my lace front and really gave me the melt look that I was looking for in regards to my frontal looking invisible on my forehead. I've tried so many glue options, and this is the one." — Tyerra Jackson Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and six scents). 26. A L'Oreal repairing hair treatment that'll give you shiny, silky, healthier-looking hair in just eight seconds. Eight seconds?! Where's Sabrina the teenage witch — I think this is her doing. Apply it after shampoo but before conditioner and let the amino acids target the parts of your hair that are damaged without weighing it down. Promising review:"What kind of sorcery is this?!?!?! My hair felt almost instantly softer! What...I don't I'm going to stock up to make sure I NEVER run out of this product! This is a MUST BUY!! I am so in love!" — Felicia Stephens Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 27. A pomade hair wax stick to help keep those flyaways under control because sometimes, trying to get those babies down is what takes you so long to do your hair. Reviewers also loveee using this stuff to lay down frizzies and edges when putting on their wigs! 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 "Sculpting magic. ✨ I recently purchased this hair wax, and I'm thrilled with the results! The hold is fantastic and it provides a natural look. Definitely a game changer for styling my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two styles and in multipacks). 28. Or an edge control gel so you can SSSSHHHHLICK those baby hairs DOWN, honeyyyy. And reviewers are raving about how this gel lasts all day; like, their edges are NOT MOVING. Pure witchcraft, it's gotta be, because for edges to still be laid after a gym session?! I'm shook — are you shook? 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 Get it from Amazon for $4.50+ (available in six sizes and in a three-pack). Oh, and I totally understand that laying your edges is not a necessity and isn't everyone's cup of tea! For more on this, check out " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." 29. A Cécred daily hair potion — I mean, *serum* that's designed to help bring that density back into your edges and strands, leaving you with a fuller, thicker, more luscious head of hair. How powerful is this stuff? Think Blue Ivy coming out on the Renaissance tour to perform "Power" next to Mama B. Cécred Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Heaven in a bottle! When I tell you, these drops are magic! I recently was sick and started losing and shedding hair badly. I cut my locs off and decided to start my Cécred journey to regrow and strengthen my hair again. I'm using the full product line, and it has transformed the look and feel, defined my curl pattern, and, most importantly, regrew my hair! Thank you for such an amazing product; I will forever stick with Cécred!" — Mychal B. Get it from Cécred or Ulta for $56. 30. A RevAir hair dryer with different tension and heat settings that'll dry, stretch, and smooth your hair while also preserving your curl pattern. Perfect for anyone who decides 30 minutes before going out that they wanna do a braid-out. This'll help dry those braids in no time! Instagram: @ 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.
