Promising review: "Love, love, love this robe! It really is plush and luxurious. Hubby and I wear this at night before getting into our swim spa and use it to dry off after getting out. It's even plusher than our bath towels. It is thicker, so if you are looking for a robe to wear during a warm day, this is not it." —Jocelyn Shade

Promising review: "The best soap I've ever used. Strange to rave about soap but there you have it. The starflower scent is my go-to, the smell isn't offensive or overpowering, and texture is silky smooth. The honey almond has a great smell. Very honey-y. The texture is like sandpaper or pumice soap. Do not use if sunburned! The smell of the lime is strong — put this in a guest bathroom, and it'll be an air freshener for your whole home. The green tea has a mild scent and smooth texture. Probably the least-scented of any flavors I've tried to far." —Jose R Aragon Jr

Promising review: "Amazing product. Really. I LOVE to listen to audiobooks and OMG this was perfect for the shower. I am so glad I bought it. It lasts for a long time, at least 15–20 showers for about 15 minutes each and the charging is a breeze! One feature I am especially happy about is the suction cup! I saw some other waterproof speakers that didn't have suction cups and I was unsure how I could hear my audiobook if it wasn't on the wall near my ear. The Bluetooth is also great. Connects automatically to my smartphone, very rarely have to manually connect after the first time. The sound is also great, no complaints there. If you like to listen to stuff in the shower I HIGHLY recommend this to you, HIGHLY!!" —AJH

Promising review: "I have NEVER written a review. EVER. If you are on the fence about it just go ahead and purchase. It’s beautiful and true to the advertised extra-long length. It’s in a bathroom that my four kids use (ages 19, 17, 9, and 7). We use it without a liner and it wicks away water and dries almost instantly. I can tell the material is going to be perfect for frequent washing. If it doesn’t hold up long I will just buy another, that’s how great it is!" —Toyia

Promising review: "I LOVE this shower curtain. I have been buying this curtain for the past six years. If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your 'stuff,' this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! I honestly only use like four or five of the pockets. You can also use this as a liner and have another more decorative shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain. I usually change it every six months because it does start getting a little soap scummy on the bottom. The best shower curtain/liner money can buy!" —DAtkins

Promising review: "Great product! Bought one for my shower because I really dislike the metal racks that hang from the showerhead. This works perfectly. Love it so much I bought a second one for my daughter’s bathroom. Keeps the shower/tub clear of containers around the sides. Great organization. Stays clean. No ugly rusting or wobbly metal rack." —stephanie sharif

Promising review: "As a grown man, I kept going back to wash cloths because loofas and back brushes are a pain — when I saw this online, I couldn't believe I had never thought of it before. It works great and it's easy to cover your whole back without having to stretch or do anything uncomfortable." —Wolf

Promising review: "I didn't even think about my shower drain being such a problem with hair. We have a relatively new shower and the drain was starting to be slow, but not really a problem because the pipe has a long drop. I was watching Shark Tank and thought maybe I need to check this out. Wow, there was a lot of hair to clean! Three long-haired girls in the house! I started using this and it pulled all sorts of hair out. We change it about once a month. Easy to pull out and no breaks or rust. I keep buying!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "Without wanting to sound corny, this stuff changed my life. I've been using it for almost two years now and my very dry skin is symptom-free. It didn't cure me but not needing to apply moisturizer every day, not worrying about being in the shower at five degrees too high or for an extra minute — I don't worry about it anymore. I recognize the price on this is high enough to give most people sticker shock, but you really don't need very much as it lathers really nicely. I can milk a package of this for about five to seven months, and the refill bottle lasts about a year or longer." —K. Grotte
Get it from Amazon for $25.
Promising review: "I think that it may take a little getting used to. When you think of a massage, you do not think of something vibrating at a very fast pace. But once you get used to it, it's nice. It's giving your scalp that extra love that it needs but generally does not get. It means BUSINESS. It does not give me knots, which is extremely important. Plus, stimulating the scalp is key to hair growth!" —Tessy C.

Promising review: "ATTENTION: ladies/gentleman with crazy long/thick hair! Seriously. I CANNOT recommend this brush enough! My hair is extremely thick and 32" long, I got used to the pulling and pain of normal brushing — tangles are regular and that goes without saying. But the constant pulling would make me so frustrated! My boyfriend bought me this brush, hoping it would be more comfortable for me — and I will NEVER go back! I've tried combs of all sizes and all types of brushes but THIS one is so nice to use! It barely hurts, the pain has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY. I use this in the shower and also when my hair's dry. I just bought one for my sister, who is also blessed/plagued with this super long thick hair, and I think she's turned as well." —LorettaFlowers

Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wine glasses too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven

Promising review: "I love this shower cap. As a Black woman, I found that the shower steam messed with my edges. But this liner of the cap helps soak up the steam so my hair doesn’t get all frizzy. It’s great!!!" —Amazon Customer
"Great shower cap! I have straight thin hair, and I hate to wash it too often. This does a great job of keeping my hair dry while in the shower. I also use it on wet, washed hair as a towel while I get dressed." —Deni20

Promising review: "This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie, this stuff needs some elbow grease but it definitely works. It took off what seems like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" —Tyrene A. Gapol

Promising review: "This is such a great little device. It 100% makes your face cleaner — either because of the vibration or silicone bristles or the fact that it’s kind of fun to use so you find yourself cleaning your face longer and getting every corner. Either way, I really like this brush. It’s also a great dupe for the FOREO ones being a fraction of the price." —P Patterson

Promising review: "I'm not one to leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Holy cow! I was going to go into the salon to brighten my hair up, but after discovering this product I cancelled my appointment. I'm totally in love! This shampoo is not drying at all and just after two washes, I achieved my desired results! I can't recommend it enough!" —Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $7.51+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "Holy cow was I surprised — the red one actually worked on my brunette hair! Granted it only worked on the length that had been previously chemically treated/permed (and had started to slightly lighten) so my roots are still definitely not tinted red, but I love the color! Product is BRIGHT red coming out of the pump so I was a bit concerned the first time I put it in that it would look super unnatural, but it turned out more burgundy in my hair and with a very slight purple tint — so perfect! Even looks like I purposefully added low-lights because my roots are still darker I've tried adding it while wet and dry, wet definitely doesn't have as much of an effect (also noticed I used less product). It does start to fade after a while, but nice and quick (and so much cheaper than the salon) to add it back in! I have a lot of fine hair, so it might last me longer than others. So far I've only used just over half the bottle on two dry and three wet applications (waiting about 20–50 minutes depending how much patience I had that day). Wear gloves!! It'll stain your hands applying it, but my shower hasn't really shown anything from rinsing it out yet." —Christie

Promising review: "Overall it has been a great experience with this new shower head! Installation was so easy! All I needed was a simple pipe wrench to remove the old showerhead and then it was easy to tighten the new one by hand. It took less than 15 minutes max to fully install and then the shower was ready to go! The first shower experience was great and the pressure was good and strong! All the features of the new shower head are amazing. The magnetic docking feature is my favorite because the magnet is strong keeping the head secure but still extremely easy to detach and use. There are multiple settings for water intensity as well as a cool aromatherapy pod that delivers a spa-like fragrance with multiple settings to get just the right experience. The package included four different scent pods. My hair is quite long and this has made it so much easier to rinse shampoo out thoroughly!" —Sami

Promising review: "This really works! Very easy to apply. I love that it doesn’t stain clothing. I was tanned to my liking after my third application. The first application I noticed that the color was a little uneven. The next night I applied it and that solved the problem and the color was even. I haven’t had any problems with streaking. After I shower, I put my wet hair up in a towel so it’s not continuing to drop water on me as I apply the product. Then I just quickly run my hands over the beads of water on my body, then I apply the product. I think by doing this it helps with even application rather than applying it on dripping wet skin which may cause streaking. After I have applied all over I step out of the shower and then continue to rub in until completely absorbed. Fantastic results. I use the deep formula and I am medium complexion." —SoraV

Promising review: "This stuff really works! I tried to go blonde about a year ago and burnt my hair to a crisp. It was like rubber bands when it was wet. I thought I'd have to shave my head. It has never been the same. I cut about eight inches off and keep it trimmed but it still feels horrible. I can't wear it straight, so I have to use a curling wand every day to hide the damage. This stuff brought my hair back to life. My hair was so soft. It wasn't frizzy after it air-dried like it normally is. I highly recommend this product. I will definitely be repurchasing." —Kim Sam Jennings

Promising review: "I purchased these to use as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. I wanted our shower to look like a spa! They are great quality and many people I know have copied our idea, so they are a hit! Very high quality, the plunger part is always the most important part. These are metal and not plastic, something which seems to be hard to find when looking for dispensers." —Rebecca Morea

Promising review: "One of my absolute favorite face exfoliating scrubs! The consistency is very thick and effective — it hardly has a scent, almost like a clay smell really. I apply in the shower because it is much easier to wash off. Another thing I do sometimes is add a little bit of liquid face wash to the scrub to help it stay on my skin easier. Scrub by applying in a light circular motion. I immediately notice an improvement in skin tone and texture. I’ll continue to use this once a week. A bottle goes a long way, you only need a dime-sized amount to cover your face. As you can see from my photo." —BritBee

Promising review: "I wish I discovered this product earlier. Took me six months of suffering from severe dandruff and white spots on my face. I was a week away from a visit to the dermatologist. After trying a lot of products and creams that didn't work, I decided to give it a try. And with just one wash, my life was changed. This is my only shampoo now. Been using it for almost a year now and no more white spots on my face (itchy, flaky, and terrible) or the worst, thick itchy dandruff." —Beverly Ramirez

Promising review: "This soap CHANGED MY LIFE! I have struggled with acne ever since I was in middle school. (I'm 17 now.) I've been to so many dermatologists, all they did was prescribe me benzoyl peroxide, which did control it for a while but then stopped working. I've tried so many acne treatments that would work for a while and then stop! I've come to the point where I was so embarrassed by my skin I would cake on loads of foundation because there was nothing I could find that would actually clear up my skin! Until one day I came across African Black Soap. It said it was good for acne and all natural so I decided to give it a try and I'm happy I did! I've had this soap for almost two weeks and all I gotta say is that I'm very impressed! I can't wait to see what my skin will look like in a month. I use this soap morning and night and use a toner after each use." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I got the shampoo and the conditioner almost as soon as it came out. The smell is so incredible, it's not the same signature scent as all their other products (which I also love), it's much muskier and essential oil heavy. Soooo wonderful. And I definitely notice a difference in my hair texture once it's dry. I have suuuper thick, partially straight and partially wavy hair and I noticed that my hair feels lighter and softer. I definitely love how this makes my hair look and feel on its own!" —Mary
