amazon.com
Promising review: "Let’s be honest, for an at-home hair product that takes five mins in the shower, this mask kicks ass! I’m so mad I didn’t take before and after pictures. But I went from a yellowy bleach blonde to a cool icy blonde in just four minutes! Badass! Next week I’m going to leave it in just a little longer to get a couple of those stubborn brassy blonde highlights out, but seriously for an at-home $25 hair treatment, you can’t beat it!" —Shelly K.

amazon.com
Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, and this has helped tremendously! I’m a woman who unfortunately started shaving my chin 20 years ago to get rid of peach fuzz. I’ve had stubble ever since and have to shave every day. I get rashes on my chin due to shaving. My skin is now less sensitive, and my rash is almost gone!" —Angela
Get it from Amazon for $19.51.
Glow By Daye
My hair has been consistently soft since I began using this. If you heat it in the microwave for three minutes, it'll stay warm for up to half an hour. My roommate and I find every excuse to use these.

5. Pure Tea Tree Essential Oil proves simpler is better, in a lot of cases. Since it's an anti-fungal, Tea Tree Oil works wonders for itchy, dry scalps, acne, and endless ailments — for under $10.
amazon.com
Tea tree oil was the simple solution to so many of my 4c hair woes. My scalp was very sore and itchy for months. I would scratch until I broke skin and my hair was not growing well in those places. It was gross. Then, I started diluting tea tree oil with castor oil and massaging it into my scalp. A year later, I can't recall the last time I had an itchy scalp. That may be because I started mixing this tea tree oil into my shampoo, hair butters, and anywhere else I can add it. I even use it as a spot treatment for acne. I cannot speak highly enough about tea tree oil, I've purchased it over and over.
Promising review: "I used the tea tree oil for stimulation in my scalp, for hair growth. I feel the tingle when I use it and have been experiencing hair growth. I have 4c hair and tea tree oil is great for my hair type. I like using products with tea tree oil in it. I use the oil by itself to add to my conditioners and other hair products. I would recommend this product if you are trying to promote hair growth or if you have any of the type 4 hair textures." —Marie M.

6. K18 Four-Minute Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask ventures past the hair cuticle and does what you think your conditioner or protein treatment are doing. Its patented biotech is key to improving strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce.

Promising review: "I have very fine, highlighted hair — lots of it! I use this after I shampoo about twice a week (I do not condition my hair beforehand). It makes my hair stronger and softer and all-around more healthy. It's expensive, but I only need a pea-sized amount (my hair is chin-length), so it lasts forever. Highly, highly recommend!" —Sue Schneider
Get the standard size from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in a mini size).
7. You'll simply adore Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream. This will leave your hair buttery and soft to the touch and yield perfect twist-outs. When things are getting a little dry, spritz some water to reactivate.
Amazon
Promising review: "I love this stuff! It can be used alone (as pictured), and it will keep my curls soft and nice. If it's humid out I still use a small amount of gel to finish it off to keep it from frizzing out, but I think this is my favorite curl cream by far. I use Moroccan oil to moisturize my curls first, then this, and then gel if needed based on weather. I highly recommend this!" —Erica Bruno
Get the 8.5-ounce version from Amazon for $34 (also available in a mini size).
8. Olaplex No. 3 should be the first thing you reach for after you do something drastic to your hair. Why? Because it heals hair from within and refortifies the hair structure. Bonus: It can be used to restore shine!
Sephora
Promising review: "Best Hair EVER! Olaplex No. 3 is a MIRACLE! The only word I can use is AMAZING! After two applications, I could IMMEDIATELY feel a difference in my hair. I color my hair and use heat daily to style, so it is very dry at the ends. After using the No. 3, my hair was silky and felt healthy. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!" —DHuff
Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $28.
9. Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer is a match made in heaven for people who take forever to blow-dry and style their hair. Now you can kill two birds with one stone while cutting your styling time in half.

Promising review: "I have very thick, wavy hair. I can never blow out my hair because it's too hard to hold the round brush and hair dryer in the right spots. THIS!! It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." —SAHM2011

Promising review: "I have long, fine waving hair that tends to lose volume and curl a few hours after I wash them. I need volumizing products and hairspray that holds my style and 'keeps' all day or at least longer than usual. This product gives volume and lift without falling flat and adding weight after a few hours; holds well in wind and humidity, so far it's the best hairspray I've ever used. Highly recommend." —Rose H.
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
11. Mane Club's 10-in-1 Leave-in Spray for your best blowout yet. It conditions, detangles, softens, protects against heat, and boosts your **shine**. You might even say this multitasks better than you do.
Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed, Mane Club
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Elizabeth Lilly (pictured above) has to say about this:
"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends."

Promising review: "I really was hesitant to try this but I decided I would take the plunge anyways and I have to say after using it for a few weeks now I'm pleasantly surprised! My hair is so soft and shiny and lightweight! I love how bouncy it is after using this plus it smells amazing. Not vinegar-y at all. My daughter has been using this as well for her oily hair and dandruff (after trying tons of super-expensive salon products) and so far this is the only thing that has been working for her! Her dandruff is gone and her hair is noticeable less oily by the end of the day. We will definitely be buying more." —kindlemom1
Promising review: "I've now used this combo twice. The first time...I immediately noticed extreme softness, but not much else. The second time, I applied it exactly as indicated....and I'M AMAZED by the difference in my hair. My thick 4c hair was light...BOUNCY...smooth...no frizz anywhere...and silky soft and shiny. Wow!!! Before I bought this, I was just using apple cider vinegar and water for a final rinse...but THIS STUFF is the holy grail. I actually used the shampoo twice in one week...and my hair isn't dried out. Instead, my hair is moisturized...soft...and beautiful. I will be purchasing this combo on a regular basis." —Karla Harley

13. SexyHair Big Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder won't flake or sit on your delicate strands. It adds body to your hair whether you wear it straight or curly.
Amazon
Promising review: "A magical hair volumizer for those who have lost hope. I have always been frustrated with my hair weighing down around the crown, even if I could get some body into it in the morning, guaranteed it was flat by midday. This stuff is amazing! I just sprinkle a tiny bit around my roots/crown and it lasts all day and into the next. It's like a dry magic gel! Love this stuff and my 'new' hairstyle capabilities. The container is super tiny (think height of a cellphone) but a little goes a LONG way. It makes skipping washing hair that much easier for those of us with nonvolumized hair/roots." —Jennifer Cibor
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
14. Sky Organics Castor Oil is thick enough to use for hot oil treatments or just to seal your ends. If you have coarse, thick hair, this will help it retain moisture for days.
amazon.com
Promising review: "I had an allergy in my scalp last 10 months ago that made the back of my head bald. I was really desperate to try some hair growing product to bring my hair back. I read most of the articles on Google and found out castor oil is one of the greatest products for hair growing, but there are lots of castor oil brands. I tried this product because of the good reviews, and ingredients because my scalp was really sensitive. And I didn’t expect the outcome of this product. And aside from the outcome, my hair became softer than before and thicker, and one bottle of this castor oil lasted almost a year." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+.
15. Kristin Ess Anytime Anywhere Recovery Balm tells flyaways to kindly have a seat with the power of coconut and castor oils. Plus, it can be used as an overnight hair mask.

Promising review: "I've purchased this a few times already and I love it. Be mindful a little goes a long way. Too much will leave your hair greasy. I use it lightly to add shine after blow-drying and overnight to nourish my ends!" —Rachelle
Get it from Target for $14.
16. Yamyone Hair Spray Bottle helps keep your hair just damp enough to remain manageable. It can also be used to mist plants or hold homemade cleaners.
Amazon
Promising review: "This is perfect for wetting hair for a better haircut. It doesn’t make the hair to wet. I was skeptical about the size of the bottle. I thought that I would have to fill it multiple times for one haircut. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to give my entire household a haircut (four girls with long hair and two boys with short hair) with water left over. I have also used this to water my indoor plants, on the boat to cool off, and to lightly dampen sculpting clay. I’m certain that I will continue to find more ways to use it." —Cassy Gardner
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two colors).
17. Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream moisturizes hair and even gives it a light hold. No need to layer gels and leave-ins when this'll get the job done in one step.

Promising review: "My kinky, curly hair loves this product! After I shampoo and condition with the bond repair anti-aging line...I apply this to wet curls in small sections. I apply the bond repair serum to the en
