Promising review: "Thanks to its spiral design, this hair tie doesn't leave any bumps in your hair at all. None! I sleep with my hair in a wrapped into a bun and in the mornings I unravel and have the same straight hair I got ready for bed with. It is also made of plastic, so keeps your hair in place but somehow (magic? idk?) doesn't ever snag. Basically, it's a wonder product and I can't believe I used regular hair ties for so long."

This gorgeous little gadget sticks onto shower screens using a powerful suction cup and will allow you to make and answer calls (though maybe rethink calling your boss) or listen to your favourite tunes, water and all.

Promising review: "This lil' guy has two massage settings that can help increase hair growth and overall scalp health by lifting away dead skin cells, oil and buildup. It's also cute as heck.
I completely expected this to pull my hair when dry, especially at times when I don't add any oil, but it proved my narcissistic self wrong! Not only does it keep my hair tangle-free, it moves so smoothly I constantly use it on my dry hair when I have a headache or feel stressed. This has saved me so much time (and water) when I'd usually take a bath to relax.
And it works just as well in the shower. I have ultra-bleached, over-dyed, exhausted hair and yet, this moves smoothly all the way from the base of my neck to my crown. Which makes me feel like an actual queen."
