Sorry, I can't hear you over the volume of my hair.
I'll be the first to admit I'm a little lazy (okay, maybe a lot lazy). So, some days I just really, reeeally don't feel like washing my hair. When I have those days, I just whip out this stuff and with a few sprays, my greasy second day (or third day—okay fine, fourth day) hair looks fresh and clean. It doesn't leave a white cast and it has a nice, fresh scent. And can we talk about the volume it gives?! It'll get your hair looking like you just got a blowout when all you did was cover up the fact that you were too lazy to wash it (a true win, in my opinion).

For some reason, I get dandruff whenever the seasons change. I get really embarrassed by it and used to always cover it up with a hat. But I only had so many hats and I wanted to get rid of the problem once and for all. So I bought this shampoo. Lo and behold, it worked!
I lather it in my hair and leave it on for about five minutes. I do this around three times a week when my dandruff is noticeable or bad and usually that's enough for it to disappear completely. Then I'll use once every two weeks just to prevent the flakies from coming back. It also gets rid of the itchy scalp feeling that comes with dandruff.

I hate when my hair gets in my face, so I'm always clipping or tying it up. Except, when I put it in a ponytail or bun, sometimes I'll get a headache from how tight it is. These clips are a quick and easy way to get your hair out of your face without ripping it from your head. They also make me feel like one of those effortless "cool girls" that you see on TikTok or Instagram, you know what I mean?
They're huuuge and can hold all of my hair in place for hours. Plus, they feel super sturdy and the colour mix that they come in go with literally any outfit.

I saw a girl on TikTok show a before and after of her hair after using this product and I immediately stopped scrolling to go on Sephora to buy it. Whenever I brush my hair I lose sooo much of it, and it really freaks me out. So, I started applying a couple of drops of this stuff after every shower. At first, I didn't really see a difference but after a while, I started to notice that there was less and less hair on the floor after I brushed it. My sparser spots started to fill in, too! And it made my hair grow much faster than it normally does, so I recommend it if you're trying to recover from a bad haircut.
I was skeptical about this being non-greasy, but it actually does feel super lightweight (it has the same consistency as water). It also has no smell, so you might appreciate that if you're sensitive to scents.

If you're like me, you probably hate how long it takes to do your hair in the morning. Since buying the Revlon one-step hot air brush, I've cut my getting-ready time in half. I can get nice waves if I hold it while my hair is wrapped around it or a gorgeous blowout if I hold it at the roots.

Sometimes when I'm shampooing my hair, it gets really tangled and hard to brush out afterwards. When I use this handy little tool, it lathers up my shampoo really well without twisting my strands. Plus, it's really soothing and kind of reminds me of the feeling when you get your hair washed at the salon by somebody else.

I kind of have this issue where my roots will get greasy, but my ends look like straw. I bought this to get my hair looking healthy from root to tip. You're supposed to use this on damp, towel dried hair BEFORE shampooing and it somehow magically seals all your split ends. TBH, I don't really understand how it works, just that it freakin' does. I've only used it a few times (a little goes a long way), and my hair already looks more healthy.

I was in the market for a new curling iron and I wanted one that would give me big, almost wave-like curls. I came across this one and I love the results. It has four heat settings, which you can adjust based on how defined you want your curls to be. The nice thing about the design is that there's a little built-in stand that'll keep it propped up when you're putting it down, so it won't damage your counter. It also comes with a handy little heat-resistant glove, if you're constantly burning your fingers (like me).

I use this oil as a hair mask that I leave on overnight about once a month. Be careful, it's thick, so you'll want to make sure you seal it tightly with a shower cap and headband if you do this. The next morning when I wash my hair it, it feels soooo healthy. I love that it also comes with two little pre-filled tubes: one with a liner brush and one with a mascara wand. I use them on my lashes and brows at night, and it's worked to help them grow, too!

I have baby hairs galore and they like to stick out in every direction. I find hair spray leaves my strands feeling crunchy, but this stuff is like a wet gel, so it doesn't get that crusty residue. A little goes a long way with this product. I've also discovered it's great as a brow gel, too (I use a clean spooly).

I find that my hair holds the fragrance better than my skin, so when I'm getting ready, I like to spritz this all over. It smells like a literal dessert. Sol de Janeiro describes it as pistachio caramel, which is pretty accurate. If you like vanilla or coconut-like scents, you'll love this one.

I bought this because I saw my beautiful colleague Alice's review (look at her hair in #27!) of it. And lemme tell you, it delivered. It's packed with argan and moringa seed oils, so it's really hydrating. It's somehow thick but feels super lightweight at the same time if that makes sense.

I've always used a lot of hot styling tools on my hair, and when I dyed it during quarantine, I was left with a head of crunchy straw. I started spraying this leave-in conditioner right out of the shower, and the way my brush was actually able to glide through my hair left me in awe. When I wake up in the mornings, my hair is still soft and I don't have as chronic of a case of bed head anymore.
Over time, I feel like my hair has become so much healthier. It's really versatile and works for styling, too. When I use it before curling my hair, it helps keep the curls structured all day long.

In the Before Times, I used to always bring this little guy on trips since it's so easy to pack. Now, it lives in my bathroom cupboard but it doesn't poke out or look awkward because of how compact it is when you fold it. It has two heat settings, and a cooling button for when you want to set your style in place. It also comes with a diffuser, which is great if you have curlier hair or just don't want to use too much heat.

If you don't use a heat protectant before straightening or curling you hair, you might want to consider grabbing this oil, since it'll prevent your hair from getting damaged. I love to spray it in my hair in the summer too, because it's got UV filters in it. Just like how sunscreen protects your skin from harsh UV rays, this stuff protects your hair from drying out under the hot sun. Not to mention, it smells absolutely divine!

I shed a lot and I also use a ton of products in my hair, so naturally, my brush is constantly packed with my strands and dry shampoo dust. This little pick is much more effective than pulling the hairs with your fingers (and it's kind of satisfying to do).
