Promising review: "I never used to use thermal protection spray, because every single one I tried made my hair super crunchy and dry. After a stern talking to by my stylist I decided to look for another one and give it another try. I am so glad I stumbled across this stuff. I tried the small bottle first to see if I liked it and I was shocked how soft my hair felt after using it! It even helps my hair straighten better and makes it so shiny! Highly recommend." —Melissa

Promising review: "This is a great product! It removed months/years of product build-up in my hair that I didn't even know I had. After just one wash, my hair felt lighter, finer, more voluminous, and I needed fewer styling products to achieve the same results. I have long, dark, fine hair and I use this about once every two weeks, or once every four to five washes." —Kat

It's packed with protein, Ceramide 3, and collagen so it can work quickly to get your hair shiny and soft.
Promising review: "My hair used to be really shiny. Then I had purple hair for a year, followed by blue for six months. My stylist had to bleach the beejeebers out of my hair to remove all of the funky colors. Ever since, my hair has been dry, crispy, and definitely not shiny. This stuff really makes a difference! I used it maybe 10-14 days ago, and I just redid it tonight. After shampooing, I towel-dried my hair and then put a big blob throughout my long-ish hair and clipped it up. I left it on for quite a while, just puttering around and getting chores done. Then I rinsed it and my hair feels soft and looks much shinier. I will keep using this as long as I need to (it will take a few years to grow out all the damage while maintaining length). I'm really glad that I read that article and bought the product" —SHANNON FRASER

Promising review: "I'm in love with this product! I have complicated hair. It’s super curly, but very thin. I’m always searching for hair products that work for my hair type. Most products for curly hair tend to weigh my hair down and make it look greasy. But Remilia does the complete opposite; it has added shine and volume to my hair. It's actually defined my curls and given them more bounce. I’ve been using this product straight for almost two months and I’m hooked! Each cap contains a perfect amount of serum whether I wear my hair curly or straight. I usually use half of it when my hair is towel dried and then the rest before I straighten for extra heat protection. Or I’ll use it for extra shine and frizz control once my curls have dried. I’ve seen a big transformation in the health of my hair since using this stuff and I’ll definitely be back for more!" —Destiny

Promising review: "I’ve suffered with a dry, flaking scalp for about a year now (pretty much started when I was pregnant and hadn’t gone away). I have used tea tree oil shampoo, dandruff shampoo, coconut oil, you name it. I finally read somewhere that exfoliating the scalp might help, but I was hesitant because years ago, I had a shampoo brush and it was very rigid, the bristles were fine and close together, and it made my hair a tangled mess. Anyway, I saw this shampoo brush and it looked a lot more flexible so I thought I’d give it a try and HOLY MOLY my flakes are gone! It’s made out of a silicone-type material and the little 'bristles' are flexible but still get the job done. I can literally brush my hair with shampoo in and it doesn’t get tangled. It’s amazing. Not only do I have zero flakes now, I feel like using this does a way better job at working the shampoo in and getting your hair and scalp really clean. I have super thick hair and no matter how much shampoo I use or how long I scrub my hair, I felt like the back, underneath part of my hair would sometimes stay dirty. This brush gets all that." —Meg R

No matter what, ALL of them will lead to s-h-i-n-e. But let's break 'em down a little:
— Coconut Oil: both hydrates and strengthens, courtesy of its lightweight blend of coconut and Monoi oil. If you're looking for an easy way to nourish and moisturize your hair without making it greasy, this is your go-to.
— Keratin Oil: smooths frizzy hair in no time flat. It's loaded with hydrolyzed keratin to calm frizz, add LOTS of shine, and leave your hair totally tame. Oh, and it smells delightful!
— Argan Oil: allows you to hit the reset button on damaged, over-processed hair. Its essential fatty acids penetrate your strands to replenish shine and deliver soft, silky results. Basically, you two can wish frizzy, dull hair adieu together.
Promising review (for the coconut oil): "I stumbled onto this product while waiting on line at Ulta and have been hooked ever since. I have been on the search for argan oil that is affordable, but doesn't make my hair look like I have gone weeks without showering for a long time. This oil makes my hair feel like silk, calms the frizz, and doesn't grease it up in the meantime. I buy this product in bulk to ensure I never run out." —rsh09

ANDDD it mends split ends and restores shine. I am IMPRESSED.
Promising review: "I noticed a difference in my hair as soon as I used it. My hair is just past my shoulders by three inches. It's wavy, but extremely dry and has been shedding a lot lately. So I was desperate to try something new before losing it all. It’s so thin now that it’s a real concern. Right after the first use, I’ve noticed that it is shiny, soft, and much easier to mange. And it's tangle free and has body without being weighed down. It’s nice and fluffy. I LOVE THIS STUFF." —Aragonme

Did I mention its lovely scent of fresh ginger blossom, floral bouquets, and clean musk?! I feel cleaner already. It's even color-safe!

Promising review: "As someone who colors their hair, I am constantly on the lookout for ways to style my hair without further damaging it. I therefore try to stay away from heated methods of styling hair as much as possible. I prefer heat-less methods like this, because the curls seem to set for longer and stay bouncy. Let me preface by saying this: the 'before' photos of my hair were taken after having the curlers in my hair for only two hours. I have pretty thick hair and was looking for a casual, wavy look...the fact that my hair took to curling in such a short period of time is AMAZING!! I also love the fun assorted colors." —kiana

Promising review: "I hate putting gel, mousse, or any product in my hair that will dry it out. My hair is very thick and curly so frizziness is almost unmanageable. I always keep it up in a bun and out of my eyes. This product allows me the freedom to wear my hair loose without the concern that it will turn into a giant frizz monster later. Plus, it smells lovely. I also adore the fact that it's vegan and cruelty-free! Shea Moisture has got me hooked for life." —Noelle

Promising review: "I always envied those who went to school or work every day with their hair curled. With a normal curler, it took me ages to do my hair and it just looked weird on my straight Asian hair. I don't know what it is about this curler, but I'm able to achieve the loose big curls and do it within 10 minutes before work. I'm not the type to spend forever on hair every day. I think since I tend to have the larger part of the barrel towards the top of my head and the skinnier part on the bottom ends, that's what gives it a more natural looking transition from my straight hair at the top which then turns into big curls. This heats up very quickly and with one press of a button. To end this, I just wanted to say that I have several other curling wands from different companies, and I only use this large-barrel Remington wand. It's affordable and a great wand." —Margaret Swan

Promising review: "I chose it because after a harsh winter and a vacation in the sun, my scalp is very dry and my hair pretty stressed. I applied it after shampooing and let it sit on my scalp and hair for a few minutes. It rinsed out easily. My hair looks and feels well conditioned but not overly so. My scalp feels far less itchy. My hair shines and has no frizz or flyaways. It smells great too. I’m very impressed." —Quickbeam

Promising review: "I have really coarse, color-treated 4C hair and have been through many products attempting to keep it tamed, soft, and moisturized. Very few are effective in doing so, however, this has done more than an amazing job. I even purchased it for my mother who has even thicker hair than I do and she loves it. I was able to use this to blow dry my hair which usually causes a lot of breakage and damage, but when I blow dry my hair with the oil, I barely had any breakage." —Georgina J.

Promising review: "My hair is super damaged from years of bleaching/straightening, and after using this hair mask I literally felt like I shaved all my hair off and grew it back at beautiful full strength again! Five stars!!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I have thin hair, so it gets frizzy after I blow-dry it. This product smoothed it out — no hairs are sticking out anymore and the body of the hair is shiny and looks healthy. The texture and the smell are pleasant. I think I'll try keeping it in my hair longer next time, so that the effect is even more prominent. Would recommend it to those that are looking for a product that enriches hair with natural oils and smoothes hair texture out." —Nina

Promising review: "I'm very impressed with this product! I have badly damaged hair due to frequent hair coloring, perms, and hot tools for styling. I was at first reluctant to buy this since it was so cheap and I normally use expensive salon brands. Since I've been using so many products and it didn't take away the tangle or frizz very well, I decided to purchase this product based on high reviews. I am so glad I did! It got rid of my tangles and made my hair very soft and smooth. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it won't work as well. In this case it worked spectacularly! I am also impressed with the smell!" —honeydew

Argan oil does it all: tames frizz, adds shine, and restores silky hair. You can even use it on your face to even out your skin tone!
Promising review: "I only got this argan oil last night, but when I woke up and saw the results in my hair overnight I had to review it. My hair has been DRY and lacking texture the last few years since I started dyeing it. This made me super sad, because I can remember how heathy and textured it used to be and no product could ever quite rejuvenate it back to its pre-salon days. I've emptied countless bottles of hair masks, deep conditioners, expensive oils, you name it. In just one use I am already so thrilled to see a glimpse what my hair used to look like. I can't wait to see the longterm results!" —Susie Muth

Promising review: "I have super fine, limp, no-body hair. I have tried for years to find a hairspray that would give me a lasting hold. At least longer than fixing my hair and walking to the car. I HAVE NOW FOUND IT!! I can now curl my hair on a humid day and still have curls the next day. This STUFF IS A-MAZING!!! A little goes a long way. And is smells fantastic! I've had everyone I know buy it and they all love it too. If you're like me, BUY IT! You won't regret it! I want to purchase stocks, this one is a winner!" —When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade
