These 29 Products Will Make You Rethink Your Entire Haircare Routine
There's nothing better than waking up with your hair already looking perfect, and that's what the heatless curlers will do for you.
1. K18 Leave-In Repair Hair Mask Treatment, which you've probably seen influencers use constantly on your FYP. This is designed to help revive all hair types that have been damaged from coloring, chemicals, and heat.
When you use this, shampoo as normal, but skip conditioner. Towel-dry, and apply 3–9 pumps of K18 mask. Wait four minutes and do not rinse.
My colleague Melanie Aman swears by this stuff. Here's what she has to say:
"I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every six to eight weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. And it turns out the rest of the world loves it too, because it was sold out at Sephora the first time I tried to buy it. I eventually snagged a mini bottle on Amazon and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier.
Olaplex was my go-to before I tried K18 and I still stand by it as a product, but I really love that K18 is a leave-in treatment rather than an in-shower mask. Having to let the Olaplex sit for 10 minutes felt like forever, especially when I wasn't taking an everything shower (you know, the ones where you exfoliate and shave). With K18, you let it sit in your hair for four minutes post-shower to activate and then you can style your hair (or just let it air dry like I do).
I've found that my hair is softest the next day, so don't be discouraged if your hair looks or feels the same the day you use it. One last thing: it is pretty pricey but a little goes a long way. The 15-ml tube I bought has lasted ~five washes, and eventually K18 can become a maintenance product so you won't need to use it every time you wash your hair."
Promising review: "I saw this all over TikTok so decided to give it a try. My hair has been in terrible shape since having a baby last year and this product really has helped my hair feel stronger and look healthier. I wish it wasn't so expensive but since I had such great results I will definitely be buying again." — AMW
Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes).
2. A Shark build-your-own hair dryer so you can quickly dry your hair without as much heat damage as you might get from other hot tools — this doesn't exceed 230 degrees.
It comes with a concentrator, a quicksmooth brush, and a gloss finisher. You can also buy additional attachments here.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "Okay so I was lucky enough to receive this and when I say lucky, I mean it! I love this bad boy; it dries my hair soooo quickly it's mind blowing. I got three attachments: the rapid gloss finisher, the quick smooth brush, and the turbo concentrator. Now, I am a hair whiz...when it comes to other people's hair. But when it comes to my own? I have no idea what I'm doing SO I have only successfully used the quick smooth brush. I've attempted to use the other two but I can't give myself a blowout no matter what I do (Idk I just can not hold two tools and style all at the same time) so I'll be back once I get someone to do my hair for me. They do come with QR codes so you can easily watch a quick tutorial to master each attachment. I love the brush one though cuz not only is it fast, but my hair gets bone straight also. You'd seriously think I walked out of a salon but in reality, I've walked out my bathroom. So far SOOOO good. I can't wait to see results with the other two attachments because I just knowww the blowout with this bb is gonna have me out here looking like America's next top model. Obsessed = an understatement."
Promising review: " I debated about purchasing this for months, watched so many TikTok reviews and now that I finally purchased it I am SO glad I did!! It cut the time it takes to blow dry and style my hair in more than half and the results are so much better. I have naturally curly/wavy hair and this got my hair so smooth with no frizz!!" — Ryan S.
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in six versions).
3. L'Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water because why use anything else if you could achieve moisture, shine, and silkiness in EIGHT SECONDS?! I mean come on, that seems too good to be true, but the over 30,000 5-star ratings prove that this might just be real-life magic.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Bought this not expecting that it would work. I've been using products in and on my hair for years, both expensive and inexpensive. This is the best I've used, bar none! It smooths and takes away the tightness of the curls. Will buy it again and again!" — Judith Cohen
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
4. A bottle of Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to apply before you blow dry so you can get incredible results like below. 🤯 Chris Appleton (you know, Kim Kardashian and J.Lo's stylist) absolutely loves this stuff.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray in action.
Promising review: "I rarely — I don't think ever — rave about a hair product, but this is an exception. I got it to smooth out the frizz in my hair and it performed above and beyond my expectations. I'm not a fan of the price, but I'll keep buying it because it's worth it. I highly recommend this product!" — CheckFirstWithAmazon
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
You can also try the extra strength version if you have extremely dry hair or the curly hair version!
5. Gisou hair oil made with honey to help hydrate, boost shine, and smooth frizz and flyaways. You're gonna ~bee~ so thrilled by your silky, smooth hair. 🐝
Sephora, Amazon
It's suitable for all hair types!
Promising reviews:"I have seen the brand Gisou quite a bit on IG and TikTok and couldn't wait to try it myself. I have fine texture hair that's currently winter-air dry. A little goes a long way with this hair oil. It smells absolutely wonderful and I love the packaging and ingredients. It definitely smooths my hair without making it oily or weighed down. Looks smoother after every use." — Californiagirlh
'This hair oil does EVERYTHING it says it does. Not only does it leave a great shine to your hair, but it also doesn't weight it down at all. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I have noticed that my hair is drastically more shiny and less brittle-looking. Also, the scent is absolutely divine and it does linger but don't worry, it is not an overwhelming scent. For reference, I have thick 3b–3c curly hair. P.S., the packaging is super beautiful so this product is a win-win!" — MariahSantiago
Get it from Sephora for $25+ (available in two sizes) or Amazon for $46.
6. Amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo because you woke up with a greasy head of hair but simply cannot be bothered to get in the shower before you head out for the day. This may be a litttttle more expensive than what you're used to, but trust me, it's worth it — no one will be able to tell you haven't washed your hair in…days.
This stuff is mineral oil-, sulfate-, phthalate-, gluten-, and paraben-free!
Promising reviews: "I heard of this product on TikTok and I am so glad I made the purchase! It is amazing and gives your hair enough volume without making it feel gritty and rough. Leaves no residue, not even noticeable in my hair and I'm blonde. LOVE 10/10 recommend. The scent kinda reminds me of my grandma's perfume but it's not that bad! It is pricey but goes a long way so it is well worth it! Hope this helps." — Karli Bullins
" Welp, I found it. The dry shampoo I will buy for the rest of my life so please Amika don't change a thing! I have black hair and a sensitive, flaky scalp and this disappears completely into my dark hair and doesn't irritate my scalp. It does have a white cast going on. But leave it alone for a few minutes or longer, and then brush it out and it'll absorb. I've used this on day three hair after a tough workout and my hair looks good as new. The scent is strong but it reminds me of the Flowerbomb perfume, which I love. Even got compliments the first time I used this! My hair texture is very thick and coarse, FYI." — Elaine
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in three sizes).
7. Mane Club One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 spray that will help solve pretty much all your daily hair struggles — it controls frizz, detangles, smooths, protects against heat, boosts shine, prevents breakage, hydrates, softens, strengthens, and conditions. Say goodbye to all the other products you have lying around — this one's got you covered.
Mane Club is a small business based in NYC focused on creating vegan and cruelty-free haircare products.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has this and says, "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."
Get it from Mane Club for $10 or from Amazon for $9.95.
8. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo designed to actually get to the root (see what I did there…like hair roots…) of the problem. This shampoo helps stops what is causing the dandruff, instead of just trying to treat the symptoms of flaking hair and itchiness.
This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b-4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Katy Herman has this and says, "It's got over 65,000 5-star rating, and works for more than just dandruff. I get recurring bouts of fungal acne on my forehead, and I recently starting using this at the recommendation of the interwebs (its key ingredient is an antifungal). Every other day, I slather it on the affected area like a wash-off mask, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse off. My forehead looks better the next day!"
Promising review:"This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all of my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." — Moo Moo
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
9. Or Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo because you've probably never thought about exfoliating your scalp before, but I'm here to tell you that you should! Say buh-bye to flakes and dryness!
www.amazon.com
The pics above are with just ONE wash!!! This stuff is cruelty-free and made with tea tree, coconut, and peppermint oils.
Promising review:"Totally amazing and beyond expectations. Chronic dry scalp for over a year, and with **one use**, super awesome results. My head feels fantastic and no more flaking. I'm going to buy a vat of this stuff and swim around in it! Really worth it." — Jana
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in three sizes).
10. A purple hair mask so you can keep your blonde looking fresh instead of yellow and brassy. Maybe now you can hold off on that expensive salon visit a liiiittle bit longer.
Promising review: "So I was a little intimidated by the pigment of the color of this mask. It's like deep purple – darker than any of purple shampoos I've used before. It works wonderfully! I shampoo my hair, towel dry, use K18, wait four minutes, and then put this mask on. I saturate my whole head and leave it on 10–13 minutes because I like that gray-ashy tone. It comes out perfect every time. And if it's just a tad tooo purple, just hop back in the shower and rinse with a shampoo. That takes care of it no problem. It also doesn't stain your scalp or your forehead, which I love because it can get kinda messy. My hair feels so soft afterwards and has so much shine. I love it!" — Arayah R.
Get it from Amazon for $31.99.
11. Big Sexy Hair weightless volumizing and texturizing powder you just sprinkle into your dry roots for volume or throughout all your hair for added fullness and texture. Bonus: you won't look like you've gone gray overnight because it's a transparent formula!
Promising reviews:"I tried this product based on TikTok recommendations. I thought it was kind of expensive so I waited until there was a deal before I purchased it. Honestly, the bottle is tiny and I was skeptical but this powder really helps give my fine texture and root lift when styling." — DEDRE
"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 mid-day. 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 the height of a cell phone) but a little goes a LONG way. It makes skipping washing hair that much easier for those of us with non-volumized hair/roots." — Jennifer Cibor
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
12. Or Slick Gorilla hair styling texturizing powder, which is vegan and cruelty-free and will help revolutionize your styling routine. Texture? ✅ Volume? ✅ Longterm hold? ✅
Promising reviews: " My son hated that I would spray his hair with water to put pomade in. Saw this on TikTok and thought it would be a great alternative. Super easy to use in both his hair and mine. You can feel the grittiness that gives texture and no white residue. Only complaint is that it seems to fall later into the day. Still love it and want to try with other products in the line!" — Amanda Lapp
"I am 59 years old, my hair is thinning, and I shampoo every day so my hair became flat. I tried Slick Gorilla hair styling texturizing powder and was blown away by how much more volume there is in the little hair I had. The powder made it much much better, even the wife was impressed! Though one caveat is that the hair feels a little weird, nothing bad. Just you know you have powder in your hair. Though not visible, you can feel it." — Jeff S.
Get it from Amazon for $18.
13. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment infused with collagen to help restore your hair. Reviewers are even saying it's comparable to Olaplex (and less than one-third of the price)!
See it in action on TikTok here.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Just apply it to your wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, rinse it out, and voila!
Promising reviews:"TikTok made me buy this the first time. I liked it enough to buy it again. It leaves my hair super hydrated and soft. If you have issues with oily hair, maybe not for you. But those with dry or curly hair needing moisture — yes yes yes! Keep the box for directions because you can't read the ones on the bottle if you don't understand the language." — Kandyce D.
"Saw it on a TikTok video. Thought I would try it out. I have long hair and it gets tangly and dry. I could not believe how well this product works. Hidden gem. Definitely try this one." — Kitty kat
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

14. Verb Ghost Oil you can use on damp hair to help protect your locks from the heat damage you can get from styling tools, or in dry hair to help get a ~gorg~ smoothing shine. It works for all hair types but is especially good for anyone prone to frizz.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing. My hair was very dry and the ends appeared split. I bought this stuff from a TikTok recommendation and will never go back. Super light and moisturizing." — Leah
Get it from Amazon for $22.
15. A heatless hair curler to give you amazingly bouncy curls with no damage because there is no heat!! The curler is also made with satin to help prevent tangled hair.
This heatless curler comes as a set, so you'll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase!
Promising review:" I could not be more obsessed with this. I have stick-straight hair and I'm a new mom. I love feeling glam but have about seven minutes to get ready every morning. I put these in when I go to sleep at night. They're comfy and only take two minutes to put in. And when I wake up, I pull them out in 15 seconds, mist with hairspray, and I have bouncy curls for the rest of the day. Works better than curling irons for me!" — nikki liu
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors/patterns).
16. Or a 42-pack of curling rods you can use on any length or texture hair, and you don't have to worry about getting all caught up in Velcro like with other curlers. With no heat, you won't cause any damage to your hair, and you can safely wear these while you sleep or while you are getting ready for the day. Just wrap your hair around the rods, fold them, and when you take them out you'll be in awe of how good your hair looks.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I LOOOOVE these curlers! My hair is super long and it never does anything but awkwardly bend because it's super poker straight! I have to have curlers in overnight to get any curl to stick and these are super comfortable to sleep in! My curls were amazing!! Finally an adorable spiral curl! What's even better is the second day they STILL looked beautiful! I cannot rant and rave enough about how awesome these are!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
17. OR a set of Remington hot rollers because we all know trends recycle themselves and it's time for these to shine again. Now you can flaunt your voluminous hairstyle that would absolutely go viral on TikTok. And you can multitask while these curlers do the hard work for ya.

They have a thermal wax core to retain heat longer. Simply put them in the little heating tray, let them heat up, roll your hair up in 'em, go to sleep, and wake up with a head full of curls!
Promising reviews: "Bought these because of TikTok and I don't regret it! My hair is super silky and thin and I have trouble curling my hair but this makes it so easy!" — Veronica
"I love these rollers!! They are just what I wanted, I like the soft cover and they stay in with the J-pins. I grew up using hot rollers and these are great! I would buy them again and again!! If these ever stop working, I will buy another!!" — JanMarieC
Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $29.99.
18. Or if you're more of a ~straight hair~ stan, the Dyson Airstrait that effortlessly dries *and* straightens your hair AT THE SAME TIME. And no, this isn't like those straighteners we used back in the day that were actually frying our hair off — this doesn't have hot plates, it only uses air!! We love efficiency. 👏🏼👏🏼
Check it out on TikTok here!
My colleague Heather Braga has and loves it:
"I've had the pleasure of testing out the Dyson Airstrait and, OMG, what an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I called this 'tech' instead of a beauty tool. While it is both of these things, I was amazed by the gadget-ness of it right off the bat. I literally had to select on an LCD screen what language MY STRAIGHTENER should be set to...wild. Anyways! The Airstrait has the ability to straighten both wet or dry hair — and does without the use of damaging hot plates. It uses directional airflow to smooth and straighten hair and, honestly, it is a pretty magical experience. The biggest learning curve for me was realizing the copper pieces (where the fan lives) need to face outward so you're not blowing your hair all over the place. The fan increases when you clamp the Airstrait around your hair (HOW DOES IT KNOW!?) and pauses entirely when you set it down (seen in the GIF to the left). Additionally, I have a toddler and am very limited on time. With this gadget, I was able to take my hair from directly-from-the-shower wet to natural-looking straight hair in only 10 minutes! This is going to be such a game-changer for my life!!! It's definitely worth the splurge. Add this to your wish list or, you know, get it now."
Get it from Amazon for $499 (available in four colors).
19. A blowout spray designed to decrease drying time, and who wouldn't want that monotonous task to go by faster (up to 50% faster 🤯)?! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! It's also a heat protectant *and* helps detangle, smooth, and soften your luscious locks.
Promising reviews: "Got this after a recommendation from a TikTok blogger. Love the smell! Works great for help with detangling and love that it helps for heat protection which is the reason I bought it of course. Been using about a month and feel it makes my hair look healthier." — RBunn
"You need this! Super soft hair and cuts drying time! This stuff is seriously magic. I have thick hair and I hate drying it because it just takes so long. I separate it, pin it up, and spray the bottom half and dry and then do the top. It's perfect! Agree with some of the other folks that said you need to find the perfect amount...too much and you could be greasy. But you'll only do that once. Regardless it smells amazing and your hair will be so soft! Get this!" — Jessica W
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in five quantities).
20. A Denman hairbrush that will help you form perfectly styled and defined curls while also detangling and reducing frizz — talk about a win–win–win–win.
Check out an instructional TikTok here!
Promising reviews:"TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It's just an amazing brush!" — mariela
"I never would have believed I would go against everything I thought I knew about curls. As someone who has had a love/hate relationship with my hair, it had taken years to perfect my method of wide tooth comb in the shower and never would think to put a brush through my wet hair. After my curl expert hair stylist rocked my world by using this brush, I've converted! And my curls have never been more uniform, less frizzy, hold better the next day, etc. Go for it, curly one!" — Patricia
Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in six versions).
21. Or a beloved-by-the-internet detangling brush to get through any of those extra stubborn tangles *without* pulling out all your hair in the process.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I purchased this brush three weeks ago and have used it every day. I like the brush so much I ordered three more for my adult daughters. Not only is the brush gentle on my gray hair, but it also feels like I am giving myself a head massage. Also, I appreciate the wide hand base design. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is not always easy to grip an ordinary hairbrush. Plus, the brush is easy to clean. It truly glides through my wet hair." — ANS
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 colors and two-packs).
22. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo infused with botanical extracts to help thicken and hydrate your hair while also clarifying and cleansing product buildup on your scalp. Yeah, go ahead and just toss your other shampoo, you won't be needing it anymore.
www.amazon.com
Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, a two-pack, and three scents).
23. OGX Locking + Coconut Curls Air Dry Cream that'll help hold your curls *without* the dreaded ~crunch~ sensation that many curl creams provide. Apply it to damp hair, scrunch, and go on with your life — couldn't get much easier than that!
Promising review:"I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." — ninjamommy
Get it from Amazon for $8.96+ (also available in a two-pack).
24. Or John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam you just scrunch in your hair and ~head~ on your way, no heat needed! This, my friends, is the low-effort styling product of your dreams.
Promising review: "Love this stuff when I let my hair air dry! Keeps it from going frizzy. I use a lot of John Frieda products!" — JoAnn
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
25. Herstyler Hair Repair Serum made with hydrating argan oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help transform dry and damaged hair into a silky, smooth mane without all the pesky flyaways.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Tried this product after reading an article on Facebook about how to deal with naturally curly hair. I put it in my hair when it's wet. Let it air dry and it makes it amazingly curly. It also smells good. I get compliments regularly about how I smell good. And it's this serum. This took my hair from being frizzy and unmanageable to perfectly curly and EASY! Wish I would have found it sooner." — J. Miller
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in multipacks).
26. A Moroccanoil treatment so good your jaw might hit the floor when you see what it can do. It'll help condition, smooth frizz and flyaways, detangle, and boost shine to give you the hair transformation you've always dreamt of. Seriously, everyone is gonna be asking for your secrets.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: " This brand of oil is by far the best I've used. The fragrance, drying power, and moisturizing is just what my curly hair needs. It protects hair when using hair dryers, curlers etc. without weighing it down. It's a great finishing product too. Use just a small amount… it goes a long way!" — Tonytex
"After years of damage my hair is at a point of no return. I started using this product nightly and after a few days I could already see a big difference. I highly recommend it." — Mom2
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes).
27. A bottle of Garnier Fructis leave-in conditioner that nourishes your hair and helps keep it frizz-free even in 👏🏼 97 👏🏼 percent 👏🏼 humidity.
According to reviewers, this product works for straight, fine hair all the way to 4c curls.
Promising reviews: "Works great and I have thin, straight, and fine hair. This smooths it and doesn't make it sticky at all. Helps to give your hair that lil pep it needs. Smells great, but not a heavy smell." — Rachel Frensley
"I have long, naturally curly hair. The sort many people would 'kill' for, but only because they have no idea how much effort it takes to make it NOT look a hot mess. I've used this stuff for ages as an oil carrier (avocado, olive, grapeseed, coconut...) to comb through and it's done me well." — MjG
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.98 (also available in a four-pack).
28. And! A leave-in conditioner, which will finally detangle your hair without damaging your luscious curls. Now when you leave your house you'll have curls people swoon over instead of frizzy ones you resent.
Promising review: "My granddaughters have long curly hair, and this is the first product that actually worked at getting the tangles out! Their hair was soft and no tears were shed while combing through, which to me is most important! The smell is nice and not overwhelming. Overall, this is just a great product and I will definitely be buying again!" — Danielle Bustamante
Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
29. An Arctic Fox semi-permanent hair dye so you can switch up your hair color whenever you please instead of having to consider if it'll damage your hair. This is the perfect option for any commitment-fearing folks cause it's designed for frequent use and actually conditions your hair while giving you a pretty dope color. Purple, blue, pink, and orange hair within three months *and* no harm to your luscious locks?! That's some real magic.
www.amazon.com
Since it's made without peroxide or ammonia, it's designed to not damage your hair like traditional dye. It typically works best on pre-lightened hair, but many reviewers say they've had success getting it to give a tint to dark hair.
Promising review: "Love it! The product smells fantastic and is easy to apply. I have fairly long hair and one bottle was more than enough. I had previously balayaged my hair about six months ago and the color took very well to the highlights we put in. It came out darker where my natural brown is and much brighter (pinkish burgundy) where it was previously bleached." — Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in three sizes, multi-packs, and 33 colors).

As a 5-foot Fashion Writer, These Are the 12 Wedding Guest Dresses That Don't Require a Trip to the Tailor
Wedding season is about to be in full swing, and my calendar is packed with summer and fall outdoor soirees, some close to home and of which require traveling. After taking a peek into my closet, I've concluded that I need to add a few new options to my wedding guest dress collection—ideally without breaking the bank. Since I'm 5 feet tall (and on a time crunch), my search is narrowed down to petite-friendly dresses that won't require a trip to the tailor. Luckily, I have a list of reliable spots, such as Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Banana Republic, that never fail to have stylish petite options. I found wrinkle-resistant midi dresses that won't take up much space in my luggage, along with elegant, cocktail attire maxi dresses. Keep reading for 12 petite-friendly wedding guest dresses I'm eyeing right now, starting at $46. $350 $150 at Banana Republic Banana Republic is one of my go-to spots for petite wedding guest dresses, and this willow green halter neck dress immediately caught my eye. It features flattering corset-style pleats that create a drop waist design to help extend the torso area—AKA the perfect design for petites. One reviewer confirmed this, writing, 'Being a petite woman, it's difficult to find beautiful, long dresses that accentuate and don't swallow my frame,' adding, 'This one does just that and does so effortlessly!" Oh, and it's machine washable! What more could you ask for? Well, maybe the fact that right now it's $200 off, bringing the price tag to $150. In addition to shopping for dresses to attend the actual wedding, I'm also searching for flirty yet modest options to wear to the welcome party. This dress won't take up much room in my luggage, and its light and airy material won't feel overly hot during outdoor festivities. It comes in eight color options, from a little black dress to a pink shade that's ideal for the daytime. One 5-foot-1 Amazon shopper highlighted the dress's 'high-end vibe,' thanks to its 'luxurious' material, and shared that it's fit for petites, writing that the length 'just hit' their knee, which they 'love.' $120 $95 at It wasn't until recently that I discovered the extensive wedding guest dress selection at Abercrombie & Fitch, with almost every style available in petite sizing. This summer wedding-ready midi dress is made from a sheer crepe fabric with a flattering sweetheart neckline and flowy skirt. The dress also comes with removable spaghetti straps for added support, and the hemline grazes right above the ankles—truly the perfect length, just as the reviewer said. One 5-foot-3 reviewer shared that it's 'the perfect fit and length' for them and said, 'I can't wait to wear this for an upcoming beach wedding.' This stylish satin floral dress would fit right in at a summer outdoor wedding or even a fall function, thanks to the 16 prints that include some darker colorways like maroon and navy. The midi-style dress has a peek-a-boo front tie design and a subtle side slit. One 5-foot-2 shopper shared that it's 'petite-friendly' and raved that it's the 'perfect wedding guest dress.' This elevated A-line dress from Petal & Pup is a simple yet elegant choice for summer weddings—and gives Reformation vibes (some calling it a dupe!) with a much friendlier price tag. While it isn't available in petite sizing, the adjustable tie straps help create a customizable fit and the length at most might appear more like a midi dress (which I love). One 5-foot-2 shopper dubbed it the 'perfect wedding guest dress,' while a different petite reviewer wrote, 'I look forward to wearing this piece for years to come!' This simple cotton midi dress from Steve Madden is an option I can picture myself reaching for again and again, even after wearing it to a wedding. The dress is designed with convenient details like two functional pockets and adjustable straps, and its flowy skirt will have me twirling the night away on the dance floor. The muted mossy green hue is fitting for summer and fall—just wrap yourself in a pashmina once the weather cools down. Polka dots have been popping up everywhere this summer, and this midi sundress puts a wedding guest-approved touch on the trend. The flowy pleated dress has a structured ruched bodice and a V-neckline, and the spaghetti straps are adjustable. If polka dots aren't for you, the dress is also available in four eye-catching floral patterns. Romantic is the best way to describe this ruffle-trimmed maxi dress from London Times. The flowy chiffon dress, available in petite sizing, has an empire waistline and flattering capped sleeves. The high-low design allows you to show off your footwear, while ensuring you won't trip on the ankle-grazing hemline. The petite sizing sealed the deal for one Amazon shopper, who wrote that they 'received many compliments on the colors and style,' while at their daughter's college graduation. This top-rated midi slip dress from Anthropologie is perfect for a summer garden-themed wedding. The pullover style midi slip dress features a mock neckline and a sophisticated keyhole back closure. While it caught my eye as a wedding guest dress, one reviewer wrote that they are taking it on their 'European trip,' adding that it 'will fold to nearly nothing and barely wrinkles.' $130 $104 at The subtle gold hardware detailing on this timeless black maxi dress made me fall in love with it for one of my upcoming weddings. The petite dress features a dipped-waist design with tie-back detailing in georgette fabric that folds down small and won't take up much luggage space. In addition to black, it comes in three other summery colors, including an orange floral and a bright magenta. A 5-foot-2 shopper who ordered a petite size wrote that it was 'a perfect fit,' while a different reviewer wrote, 'getting this in petite made the length perfect.' Reformation's wedding guest dresses are undoubtedly a splurge, but considering I own a few of them, I can confidently say that it's money well spent. I've had my Reformation dresses for years, and they truly stand the test of time. Plus, the simple, yet elegant silhouettes are versatile enough to wear for numerous occasions, not just to a wedding. This A-line dress has a fitted bodice and an elegant sweetheart neckline. According to the brand's product description, this style runs on the larger side—something to consider when selecting your sizing. I'm never opposed to opting for a mini dress if it fits the wedding dress code, and this effortlessly chic option is easy to dress up or down. It has playful puffed sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline, but the metallic mocha shade adds an elevated, dressy touch to the mini. Love a great deal?

Use it to add a lush focal point to a neutral room or go full maximalist and use it in a room that's already drenched in color. Promising review: "We put this up almost two years ago, and it's still holding up well. Had no adhesion issues. It's easy and quick to install and reposition.

We got a king in the color black. It was under $200 with the shipping and this frame is solid as can be. It did take my husband way longer than he anticipated to put it together but it was so worth it! We previously had a medium to high end frame that we paid $600 for on sale that broke immediately.
