19 Hair Products With Before-And-After Photos That May Make You Believe In Miracles

Hairllelujah.

1. An argan oil hair mask that'll make your hair smooth by repairing it with 100% organic jojoba oil, aloe vera, and keratin.

amazon.com

Plus, it works on a wide variety of hair types.

Promising review: "Thank you argan oil for saving my hair!!! I live in AZ and the heat mixed with our hard water killed my hair. Literally I could run my fingers through it and pull chunks out. I've used this three times in the last week and it's like I have brand new hair. I will forever buy this stuff!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

2. A John Frida frizz serum for anyone with enough static in their hair to charge their phone.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm not sure what I'd do without my Frizz Ease. It smooths out my unruly hair leaving it manageable, but not heavy, sticky, or weighed down. My hair actually looks good when I use this product." —dana

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three styles).

3. A biotin shampoo formulated with nutrient-rich botanicals like B5 zinc and coconut oil to nourish your hair and stimulate your scalp, removing any buildup that may be blocking your pores and helping your hair strands get strong. Believe me, this stuff is really gonna ~grow~ on you.

amazon.com

Promising review: "For about five years I have been experiencing hair loss. I have tried all the brand name shampoos to help control the hair loss, but none of these shampoos helped much at all. Then I discovered this! It doesn't work overnight, but it works! And I am still on my first bottle. I have short hair and wash it twice a week. My friends can't believe how much fuller my hair is! It is truly amazing! I would highly recommend this shampoo for thinning hair!" —theD

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in four sizes).

4. A bottle of hair building fibers that'll help cover balding spots while you're still trying to grow hair in.

amazon.com

They're sweat-, wind-, and rain-resistant, but come out in your next shampoo. Just shake into the thinning area, and pat your hair to disperse.

Promising review: "I was hesitant to try this, and I'm hoping my review will help someone else who feels the same way. I have alopecia areata, which causes circles or ovals of hair to fall out all at once. You can see in the pictures that a large patch is starting to grow in, but is still extremely sparse. The hair fibers are a godsend. I use the dark brown with the spray applicator. You'd be able to see if you got up close to look, and it works better where there's some hair than areas that are completely bare, but even on bare patches its much better. I would definitely recommend this for anyone, any age, with thinning hair or bald patches." —Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in four sizes and nine colors).

5. A volumizing hairspray so you don't have to spend $40 on a blowout for your night out on the town.

amazon.com

Promising review: "No other spray is this good. I have been using it for about 30 years, since it came out. I introduced it to my hair dresser who owns her own shop and she loves it as well. It's like no other. It gives lift and it's very workable with less product. I personally love it because you can comb through it if you don't like the way it looks and start over. It holds very well — all day in most cases. Now that I am older and have thinning hair, it's as necessary as taking your medicine. I can't live without it." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.40 (available in six sizes and two styles).

6. A Bed Head waver that'll be like the opposite of your flat iron, giving you tousled, crimped, loose, or defined curls and waves. It's made with adjustable tourmaline ceramic plates (that heat up to 400°F!) so you can get a variety of styles — all using one tool.

amazon.com

It comes on a swiveling cord so you can twist it to reach every strand of hair, without getting tangled up, *and* auto shuts off so you can leave the house for the day without panicking.

Promising review: "I love the speed with which I can do my hair with this waver. Using a traditional curling iron takes me much longer and often gives my hair that overstyled, helmet head look. This gives me loose beach waves that look just messy enough to come across as natural. I have short hair and it's great for my length. I highly recommend." —BeckyfromBama

Get it from Amazon for $38.72 .

7. A detangling brush to work through hair that's acting knotty.

amazon.com

Made for those times when you're literally about to tear your hair out.

Promising review: I'm a single dad of a 6 years old girl and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now."—AmazonCustomer

Get it from Amazon for $11.22 (available in two colors).

8. A flat iron with heat settings that range from 170°F to 450°F so you can style your hair no matter the type!

amazon.com

This flat iron is ~extra~ great because it emits negative ions (lol not a scientist but sounds fun) )that moisten your hair so if you struggle with frizzy hair it can help make it more smooth!

Promising review: "I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I love this flat iron. I’ve used flat irons that were over 100 dollars, and this one works better than most high end ones. I do a lot of natural hair blowouts/silk presses and this works wonders! —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $37.06 (available in three colors).

9. A professional 5-star cordless clipper for anyone out there trying to have their hair fresh daily without having to spend money every time their hair grows half an inch. SMH.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The fact that it's cordless is amazing but it goes beyond that. The battery is very powerful and it lasts around two hours on one single charge. The great thing is you can them corded if it dies on you (which only happens if you never charge them between cuts) and it charges while in use. Also another upgrade is the fade staggered tooth blade which is perfect for blending. The fact that these blades can be zero gapped is incredible especially for getting that first line out from bald fades etc. without having to wear out your trimmers." —AmazonCustomer

Get it from Amazon for $87.50.

10. A color deposit shampoo so strong you're gonna forget your stylist's name before you need to go back to get a touch-up.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This shampoo is awesome. I used this wet and it gave my hair a slight pink tint. The next time I applied it to dry hair in pieces to see if it would be more vivid and it definitely turned those pieces a lot pinker. It lasts a few washes, just make sure you also use conditioner because this can feel drying. My hair is dark blonde with highlights and it shows better on the highlights. You can still see it on the dark blonde too, it's just not as vibrant. I'm sold on this stuff and will be getting more of it!" —Jess

Get it on Amazon for $35 (available in 13 colors).

11. A set of hair extensions that'll fool everyone you know — including yourself!

amazon.com

Promising review: "Omg! If I could rate this higher I would! Buy it now, you won’t regret it. Especially for such an incredible price! I bought it for a costume for Halloween, but it’s nice enough quality to use for date nights or whatever! And I have used clip in extensions for 10 years, and never gone synthetic until now and I am amazed."—Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four sizes and 24 colors).

12. A John Frieda hot air brush perfect for anyone who loves a blown-out look but doesn't have time or $$$ for the salon. Drying your hair with a round brush + a blowdryer 👏is 👏a 👏myth. This tool does it all in one!

amazon.com

One editor who loves this brush wrote, "It has two heat settings (plus a cool setting to set your style) AND ***ionic power*** to reduce frizz and add massive shine. And it has ceramic coating to reduce heat damage to your hair. I friggin' love this brush. All you need to do is section your hair out, depending on how thick it is, and roll it under your hair like you would a regular round brush — but because it releases hot air, there's NO NEED FOR A HAIR DRYER! Truly easy. And you get better results than with a flat iron, because you're lifting and brushing out the hair rather than just pressing it flat."

Get it from Amazon for $33.32 (available in 1- and 1.5-inch sizes).

13. A pack of 42 twist-flex rods for anyone trying to get curls in the easiest way possible. Just fall asleep with them in and wake up! It's that easy!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I left the largest rollers, the purple and grey ones, in for two hours to see how the curls would turn out. The results were great! The rollers are the perfect size and gave me the same look as my expensive digital perm. I've been getting digital perms for the last year to the tune of $200 every 3-4 months, so these rollers, at $12 a pack, are a steal." —Hoyablue

Get it from Amazon for $12.40 (available in three sizes).

14. A set of clip-on bangs, because you know you've wondered what you'd look like with them. We all have! Now's your chance to see what you'd look like without making it permanent.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I had very LOW expectations for this. I accidentally cut my bangs too short the other night because my puppy distracted me mid cut. I thought it would be funny to buy this and wear it one day. I got it for laughs mostly, not really expecting it to look normal. AND OMG I AM SHOCKED! First of all, it's the exact same shade as my hair color. It was super easy to put on. The hair feels soft and realistic. I am so beyond amazed. So far, no one has been able to tell that the bangs are fake! I love them!" —Jrod

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in 23 colors).

15. A Denman cushion brush with nylon bristles that'll detangle your hair without pulling too hard on your roots.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This brush works wonders! I really think it works for all types of hair. I recommend! My hair is naturally curly, but this brush made the curls a lot more defined." —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $4.30+.

16. An anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with Ketoconazole 1% to keep those pesky flakes and itchy scalp at bay.

amazon.com

FWIW: This formula is safe to use on color-treated, chemically processed and gray hair.

Promising review: "Nothing else clears things up faster than Nizoral. When you have a flake emergency, more often than not, it's a yeast overgrowth, so you have to make your head inhospitable for those suckers, by removing dead skin and oil, and killing the fungus. Ketoconazole is what you use when you don't have time to screw around with Head & Shoulders, and in fact, in dire emergencies, your doctor or dermatologist can prescribe Nizoral in 2% prescription strength. But 1% helps for daily or weekly use---as long as you've got things mostly under control."—Replicant

Get it from Amazon starting at $14.99.

17. A HSI Professional hair straightener with a six-foot, 360 degree swivel cord to straighten, flip or curl your hair.

amazon.com

The set includes a glove, pouch and travel size argan oil that you can use as a leave-in hair treatment to prevent heat damage.

Promising review: "This is the holy grail, guys. They’ve done it. They’ve made a flat iron that can control the beast. 10x better than my other iron, and I can get my hair done in about 20 minutes now!" —Tiffany

Get it from Amazon for $39.89 (available in six colors).

18. A bottle of Fanola No Yellow shampoo for anyone with orange undertones they want out of their life. The violet pigment in this shampoo will get rid of unwanted yellow hues on grey, light blonde, or streaked hair.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Stop searching and buy this! I purchased this purple shampoo on a whim after seeing it on a BuzzFeed article. THIS SHAMPOO, let me tell you, has pulled any and every unwanted orange color from my hair. The shampoo is PURPLE, almost black. It reeks to high heaven, but so do most toners and glazes a salon would put on, so it's really not an issue to me. I use it once a week and leave it on for about five minutes while I shave in shower, and it does its job. Within two weeks it pulled all the orange brassiness from my hair and has left me with a wintery icy blonde that I never thought my hair could be. I love it so much and don't know what state of pumpkin I would be without this shampoo." —Lenna K.

Get it from Amazon for $12.24 (available in eight sizes).

19. A John Frieda lightening spray with a blend citrus and chamomile to gradually lighten hair up to two shades.

amazon.com

Promising review: ""Let the result speak for itself! On the left (above) is my UNBLEACHED Asian black hair, and on the right is my hair two months later. I’m trying to go blond, but salons estimated the total cost for three sessions of intense bleaching and coloring to be in the thousands...so no thank you. I took matters in my hands and so far am happy with spraying this every time after washing my hair. LOVE. THE. PRODUCT!!!" —LINH TRINH AN

Get it from Amazon for $7.30.
