1. A bottle of TikTok-famous Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen to help give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes. This stuff is *chef's kiss* mixed with a little witchcraft and seriously rivals the famous Olaplex treatment.

Promising reviews: "Not gonna lie I was skeptical that this could help me. A few months ago I decided I could bleach my hair. I burnt it to such a crisp that I’ve literally been wearing it up under a cap. That worked when it was winter but now it’s warm so I needed a solution. I saw this product highly recommended on other sites and the reviews were good. So I ordered a tube. Used it twice now and OH. MY. LANTA. For months my hair has felt like crunchy noodles ready to snap at a moment's notice. After one treatment (left in about 15 minutes after shampoo, before conditioner) my ends feel soft!! After the second time washing with it, it actually moves like it’s not damaged and it is visibly SO much healthier. Like seriously idk how they bottled witchcraft but I’m going to continue to use this product even when my hair grows out. An absolute magical miracle potion! I seriously prepared myself to explain to the world that it doesn’t work. But instead, I have the healthiest hair I’ve had since being a home hairdresser. 10/10 for less then $10. Picture from left to right (blonde above): my hair before using this, my hair after first treatment, my hair after second treatment. —Beth

2. An Arctic Fox semi-permanent hair dye so you can switch up your color after you make that drastic decision to dye your hair because you had a bad day. Happens to the best of us. It's made without peroxide and ammonia to help avoid damaging your strands and works best on pre-lightened hair although many reviewers say it somehow gives a pretty nice tint to dark hair, too! One word: sorcery.
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 $12.99+ (available in two sizes and 23 colors).
3. Or a Kristin Ess Rose Gold Temporary Tint for anyone with commitment issues and the desire to constantly have a new 'do. Just spray this on your wet hair after shampooing, wait two minutes, rinse, and — *voila* — beautiful rose gold locks for the next two to three washes. As Ariana Grande says, it's just like magic.
Check out a TikTok of the rose gold temporary tint in action.
For more intense color, you can towel dry your hair before you spray!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. There's no commitment and no staining the hair. It is literally a put-in-and-wash-out product. I have platinum-blonde hair and there was no tint of pink left behind or anything. I love this stuff! It gives you rose-gold pink hair, so beautiful." —Lee
Get it from Amazon for $14.21+ (also available in a pack of two or four).
4. A Cantu curling cream made with coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and mango seed butter — all the things your hair finds yummy and hydrating. Hair's at that ~ehh stage~ after washing and drying? Bring those curls back to life like the Sanderson sisters brought back Billy Butcherson without needing to re-wash or consult with a spell book.
Promising review: "You have to try it! I've been looking for something like this for a long time! I put it in my hair while it's still wet and go to bed with it in. In the morning, I literally don't have to touch my hair… It's already perfect as is! Wow!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.29 (also available in a two-pack).
5. A L'Oreal repairing hair treatment that'll give you shiny, silky, healthier-looking hair in just eight seconds. Eight seconds?! Where's Sabrina the Teenage Witch — I think this is her doing. Apply it after shampoo but before conditioner and let the amino acids target the parts of your hair that are damaged without weighing it down.
Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one, I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair...I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey
Get it from Amazon for $9.87.
6. Or!! L'Oreal's Wonder Water in-shower detangler that *also* takes just eight seconds — *coughs* *witchcraft* (sorry, something in my throat) — to deliver tangle-free, glassy hair. Simply apply to wet hair, count to eight, rinse, and your hair will look better than it ever has.
The detangling formula will work best for long, straight hair, though it will still add shine to shorter, thicker hair types, too.
Get it from Amazon for $9.87.
7. A Lottabody's super fluffy mousse — a lightweight option that'll help your hair air-dry into some super perfect hair. If you want tamed frizz, defined curls, and soft wraps, look no further, your fairy godmother has arrived and she's surprisingly a bottle of mousse with coconut oil in it.
Promising review: "I have permed hair with 3b curls, and this is the best mousse I have found! It does not leave my hair sticky or stiff, it’s very moisturizing, and the foam is a great consistency. The scent is light and pleasant, and this is my new go-to for both freshly washed hair or the day after re-boost. So glad I found this!" —Tonii
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
8. John Frieda Brilliant Brunette shampoo to make dull brown hair vibrant and glossy. This'll help lock in some much-needed moisture and then bam! Rich, lustrous hair. Is this what the Sanderson sisters used to look young again?
Reviewers with thin-to-wavy hair types seem to have the best results.
Promising review: "I purchased this shampoo, and my hair looks golden brown instead of brown with a lot of gray underneath. I didn't want the mess of coloring my own hair nor did I think I could do as good a job as my hairdresser, so I was so pleased that Frieda's Shampoo did the job. I definitely recommend this shampoo along with the Brilliant Brunette conditioner." —Dan Cremeans
Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (also available in a two-pack).
9. An Orlando Pita Play's Atmos-Shield Hair Protectant Spray to shield your hair from the harsh heat of your flat iron since you straighten your hair at 400 degrees. Use it on wet or dry hair to lock in moisture and prevent frizz and split ends. Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of.
Promising review: "Favorite heat protectant spray. I received this item in a sample box. When I ran out, I had to order it. A little pricey but one of the best heat protectant sprays I’ve tried and leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth. Also, curls last for two days." —Mary Ann Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $22.
10. A well-loved "defunk" spray by Uncle Funky's Daughter with lavender, some sort of magic potion, and rosemary to get rid of hair odor without absorbing your hair's natural oils. It can also help soothe itchy scalp and help you go without washing a bit longer if your hair requires less cleansing.
Uncle Funky's Daughter is a Black woman-owned biz founded by Renee Morris in 2014. She has used her own 20+-year natural hair journey to expand the natural haircare line.
Promising review: "Smells so good and is not overbearing at all. I've tried a lot on my locks and this is the best I've found in five years!" —Loe55
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
11. An Eden BodyWorks leave-in conditioner to moisturize your tresses and clump your curls together for some impressive, bouncy curls, no sorcery involved. You'll be doing Beyoncé hair flips all day.
Eden BodyWorks is a Black woman-owned business that specializes in natural products to nurture, restore, and maintain hair. Reviewers with 2a through 4c hair say it works well for them!
Promising review: "This product is soooo moisturizing! I have type 4b/4c hair with some 4a in the front and I’m low porosity, and my hair loves this product! The consistency is really nice and it smells good too. You don’t need a lot either." —Shanteshia
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
12. A wildly popular Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo that uses ketoconazole 1% (could be some sort of magical potion but is *actually* an antifungal) to relieve your itchy scalp and help fight dandruff. Ah, just imagine — hair without those dreadful flakes. No more snow showers after scratching your head. Sounds like a dream come true to me.
The brand recommends using it every three to four days for up to eight weeks for best results.
Promising review: "This shampoo is the real deal. I’ve struggled with a flaky, itchy scalp since I was a kid. I’d shower/wash my hair and by the next day I’d have itchiness, and by day two I’d have visible flakes. Over the years I’ve tried washing my hair more often and less often, I’ve tried the apple cider vinegar washing, different scalp masks, and essentially any low costing remedy I could find online, but nothing ever helped. I started using this about two weeks ago. I’ve been using it just as the instructions say — wash once, rinse thoroughly, and wash a second time, every three to four days, and let me tell you just from the first wash, the effect was immediate. There’s no itchiness, even though I sweat a lot through my eight-hour shifts at work. I haven’t seen a single dandruff flake since I first used it. Maybe it won’t work so quickly or effectively for everyone, but this genuinely feels like a miracle product for me. I don’t think I can ever use another shampoo after this. The shampoo has a gentle soapy smell and it keeps my hair smelling nice until the next wash. For anyone looking for relief, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BUY IT !!!" —Gaby G.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
13. A Moroccanoil treatment to hydrate your beautiful mane. This detangling, conditioning, and smoothing oil will increase shine and have you spotlight ready. You should probz start making space in your phone for all the BOMB selfies you'll be taking once you start using this stuff. And careful, people might start calling you a witch once they see your hair transformation.
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.
14. A Marc Anthony leave-in conditioning spray that contains biotin for stronger hair. Your locks will thank you for using this anti-frizz deep conditioner. Oh, and it contains vitamin E, ginseng, and caffeine — yeah, I said caffeine — to help prevent breakage and damage.
Promising review: "After having bariatric surgery you start to have hair loss. I researched and found this and holy moly it is AMAZING! It was a game changer and was so helpful to a tough situation. I have very platinum hair and this is so nourishing and hydrating. I highly recommend!" —Julsden
Get it from Amazon for $7.64.
15. A deep conditioning hair mask by TGIN with castor oil and biotin to help get your hair to a healthier-looking state. It'll help resurrect any dry, damaged, or color-treated hair with intense hydration that'll magically reduce shedding and breakage.
Promising review: "My scalp felt invigorated after applying. I left the masque on overnight and when I rinsed the next morning my scalp felt refreshed and clean. I actually think this product also aided in elongating my curls. Hair looks hydrated as well! I plan to use every two weeks." —Dawn M.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
16. An all-natural dry shampoo that works on all shades of hair and will freshen your mane up if you don't have time for another wash. The excess oil in your hair will *poof* away and you'll be left with voluminous locks. Also great to use after workouts! Bippity boppity buh-bye oily hair!
It's also vegan and cruelty-free. Just lightly dispense the powder onto your hair roots and gently rub it in.
Promising review: "Words can’t even describe how incredible this stuff is! When my bottle arrived, I was on day five of not washing my hair, and day three of wearing it in a ponytail. Just for fun and to experiment before I showered and washed my hair, I thought I’d test it out. WOW!!! It completely, miraculously made my hair look like I had just washed it! I seriously started laughing because I was so shocked! I didn’t even end up washing my hair in the shower! You would seriously never know that my hair was not freshly washed and blow-dried. I don’t know how they make this magic stuff, but this will be my new go-to for life! Don’t even hesitate, just buy it! I got the grapefruit scent and it smells so good too!" —Karen Grow
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two scents and two sizes).
17. A conditioning spray by Honest to help you untangle your hair and leave it smelling like orange and vanilla, mmm, heavenly. It's made with a blend of argan oil, shea butter, and quinoa extract for some seriously soft locks.
Promising reviews: "Ok. I’ve tried a plethora of hair detanglers for both of my daughters type 4c African American hair. I was very skeptical at first being that this is not marketed for such hair, but after seeing a YouTuber's success with it, I decided to give it a shot. I am amazed. I sprayed a little bit on my daughter's washed and dried hair; took the tangles and knots right out!!!!!! With ease. I will now stock up on these. This left her hair moisturized, but not too greasy and smelling great. I’m very impressed!" —Tiffany F.
"This stuff is a holy grail product for me for a reason I wasn’t expecting! I bought this to keep in my beach bag for days out on the boat. My hair is always a tangled mess by the end of the day, so I thought this would help. It definitely helps with tangles, but it also has tamed my frizz so well that I use it every day now! I spray it on right out of the shower and comb through. I have also sprayed it on dry hair on days when I didn’t wash my hair. It’s fantastic!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three scents and also in a three-pack).
18. A Shea Moisture anti-frizz curl mousse — a super hydrating, lightweight formula that'll give you manageable, silky smooth, bouncy, voluminous hair. I know, I know, you were thiiiis close to cracking open a spell book and using a spell on your hair, but this bottle of magic is here so that you don't have to.
Promising review: "This magic foam is epic! I never thought a hair product would change my life, but this one did. It's so incredibly lightweight, you feel like there is nothing in your hair. I get volume and definition without any of the drawbacks of normal products." —Kathy C.
Get it from Amazon for $8.03.
19. A bestselling argan oil hair mask for dry and damaged hair. It'll help promote growth and strengthen weak hair by deeply conditioning, detangling, and hydrating your gorgeous locks.
Promising review: "My hair is very thin and curly. The ends are damaged from heat and color, causing my hair to look even more unruly. I do oil treatments once a week and only wash my hair two to three times a week but NOTHING has made my hair feel like this product does. There is an immediate difference as soon as this product touches my hair. It leaves my hair feeling so silky, even after I rinse it out and dry my hair." —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
20. A popular, non-greasy Herstyler serum that'll give you some silky smooth, seriously glossy hair with the help of argan oil, vitamin E, and aloe vera. It'll help control frizz, lock in moisture, and leave your hair looking stunning.
21. An air-dry leave-in cream so you can get perfect waves without needing any heat. More bounce to your curls without the crunch or frizz. Uhmmm, this kinda sounds like witchcraft.
According to reviewers, this cream will also add a little volume to thin, fine hair or enhance the waves in those with thick, curly hair.
Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while my waves resemble curls but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant so I was skeptical but after about 15 minutes I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
