Promising review: "I fell in love with this product after my hairstylist used it after highlighting my hair. Even after highlights, when my hair is extra dry, this product will make it soft, smooth, and easy to comb. I won't go anywhere without it and even have the travel size." —Chantel G.
Get it from Amazon for $17.53+. Also available in Keratin and Lite versions.
Promising review: "Great conditioning spray that doesn't weigh down my somewhat thick but very fine hair. I have lots of body to my hair but this seems to make it look more wavy. I'm can get a nice style without using a flat iron or curling wand. Yay, something that lets my natural hair be natural not natty!" —Kathryn Chavez
Promising review: "This is my all-time favorite cheap straightener. I love the BaByliss Pro Straighteners, but this one has replaced my old faithful. I have mid-back relaxed hair and this straightener works wonders with ease and only one pass. I usually use it on the 400-degree setting, but it can also reach a salon setting of 450-degrees." —Melinda
Get it from Amazon for $27.39.
Promising review: "This pillowcase is so soft and dreamy! I have real hair extensions that I spend a lot of money on, so it's important for me to do whatever it takes to take care of my hair. This pillowcase does that by preventing tangling, and I didn't have to spend $100 on it!" —Mary H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 36 colors).
Promising review: "My hair is oily at the roots but really dry and frizzy everywhere else, and this oil does such a great job of absolutely eliminating the frizz without making it oily. It has surprisingly really improved the health of my hair. I wasn't able to air dry my hair before because it would get so frizzy, but now I just put on some of this oil while it's damp, scrunch a little, and it air dries so beautifully. I've never used anything so versatile! Also great for when you just want to blow your hair out. If you can only buy one thing for your hair, PLEASE do yourself a favor and let it be this!" —Alexis17
Get it from Sephora for $40.
Promising review: "I love to change my hair color, and with Colorista, I am able to do so without damaging my hair. It last at least six shampoos on me and the color fades nicely as it washes out!" —Lehmann

Promising review: "The rollers are the perfect size and gave me the same results as my expensive digital perms. I've been getting digital perms for the last year to the tune of $200 every three to four months, so these rollers (at $12 a pack) are a steal. I only needed seven for my whole head even though I have a lot of hair." —HoyaBlue

Promising review: "I have a LOT of unruly curly hair, but it is still very lightweight and fine. I've had a lot of trouble finding a serum that can manage the poof and protect my ends from heat damage, but this product works wonders! My hair usually gains volume throughout the day after I straighten, but with this oil it stays straight, flat, and smooth." —Elisha
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
Promising review: "Oh, the luxury of purchasing a product that works better than salon purchases at four or five times the price. This was an incredible find — it leaves my hair soft and shiny, a result that I used to get from Brazilians done at my salon, but this costs much less." —CM

Promising review: "When I used my old one, my hair would end up being extremely frizzy and I would have to spend a lot of time straightening it to make the frizz go away. With this blow dryer, my hair doesn't really look frizzy at all when I'm done. Also, I love the cool button feature on this. Usually by the time I'm done blow drying my hair, I'm really hot, which causes the back of my neck to sweat and makes it really hard to style my hair. The cool button feature helps so much with feeling overheated. Worth every penny!" —Jennifer Ewing

I've used the purple to maintain my color after an in-salon visit because I'm cheap AF. Also, if it's easy enough for me to use, it's easy enough for anyone to use.
Shop all nine color product lines (conditioner and deep treatment) at Overtone for $17+ or shop select deep treatments at Urban Outfitters for $28 (available in pastel purple, silver, and pastel pink).
Brite Organix is also a great option and is available at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21.
Promising review: "No matter what type of horrid bed hair I wake up with, I just spray this, tousle my hair, and within one minute my hair looks likes I showered, dried, and styled it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I think it's really beautiful. Flowers don't look cheap nor cheesy." —Cate Lee
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $20.
Promising review: "This really is an excellent all-in-one product. I have thick, wavy hair that is somewhat on the coarse side. This product tames my hair's tendency to get big and poofy in warm weather while keeping me static-free in cold weather, all without weighing down volume. My style holds longer and hair stays smoother too." —rorschachalips

Promising review: "I have very fine hair that flies around with the slightest breeze. I've used various pomades for years to hold it down but all of them have a heavy waxy feel to them, except Kenra Platinum. It has a softer, smoother texture and applies to the hair very easily." —Tom W.
Get it from Amazon for $12.30.
Promising review: "I am a hairdresser and I feel like this should be explained better. This is not made to hold your ponytail while you go for a jog, though it is strong enough to secure a braid. The beauty of this product is that the coils prevent your hair from getting a band mark. Want your hair to have lots of volume in the morning with no bed head? Gather your hair onto the top of your head and loosely secure it. In the morning, take out the Invisibobble and voila!" —Annadj
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (clear) or Sephora for $8 (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "I am so glad I found this product; it works wonders. And even though my hair was lighter red than the cover-up, it still blended in really well. It didn't rub off on my fingers after application or rub off on my pillow overnight. The color stuck around until I washed my hair again." —GN
Get it from Amazon for $34.50 (available in eight shades).
Promising review: "Bought this on a whim because of the affordable price. Wanted a product that I could spray in my hair to refresh it and give it that 'just washed' scent on the go. This does just that. It's not too floral, fruity, or sweet, making it a more universal scent. This is better for your hair than regular perfume or body mist, which can be drying. Would purchase again; lots of compliments so far!" —ReviewerGirlLA
