It was super easy to use, even for someone who isn't that great at doing her own blowouts.
(You really can't beat that brush feature.) I got the majority of my hair pretty straight, but I did have a little trouble reaching the roots. At the end, I had to go over the top of my head with a flat iron, which I didn't really mind.
Next time, I think I'll go in smaller sections and see if I can get the whole thing done in one fell swoop. 10/10 recommend." — Vera G Price : $44.

If you have thinning hair or graying hair, this powder is a must-have. It even creates a bit of volume in my very thin hair.
I've purchased many different hair products to conceal my thinning hair, most are ineffective, messy, or leave my hair feeling greasy. This is super easy to use; I even use it for my sparse eyebrows. I simply use a soft, small lip liner brush to fill in my brows for a natural look.
I also love that it lasts ’til your next shampoo. At first, I didn't like the built-in sponge, but I've grown to really like it. The powder sticks to the sponge, making it easy to apply to whatever area you want to cover up, and the powder doesn't come off on pillows if you leave it on overnight.

It gives volume and heats up super fast! Seriously, I will be taking this with me when I travel! It's going to stay in my car for touch-ups on the go! It's super sleek and comes with an awesome pouch to carry it in! You can straighten your hair, put it away, throw it in your purse, and go!

Unfortunately, they sat untouched until today and I honestly cannot believe how something so simple can be this amazing. There is zero tightness on my scalp ! I only have three of them in my thick, long hair! Yet my bun is high and happy.
This could definitely be used for a stylish updo that doesn’t cause headaches. As a person who has lived over 50 years with heavy hair, I love them!" — SE Teachers Rock!

Work smarter, not harder, people! Promising reviews: "OGX makes this great product for controlling the curls! My son saw this advertised and wanted to try it. He has naturally curly hair if he grows it out. He has it short but keeps the curls on the top.
Before, he used to blow dry his hair with no product. Now he doesn’t go a day without it! He sprays it on his towel-dried hair. The curls are surely there, and while this product moisturizes his hair, it also locks his curls in place and naturally air dries them into place for the day.
After a few minutes on the way to school, he fluffs it a bit. He wasn’t into a styling product before but he is now. :) There is a nice coconut scent but nothing too extreme.

It's easy to use and stays completely cool on the outside. It's lightweight, has great balance, and doesn't tangle.
One thing I learned, if you want the end to always curl make sure you hold the arrow spin direction button down until it stops spinning. That helps to keep the end hair around the hot center coil. I'm 77-years-old, and I have never found anything that can curl my longer super thick, coarse gray hair.
..and this did! The curl lasted all night.
Now that's a WOW!" — GrandpaOne Price: $63.06+ (available in two colors) 21. A Tangle Teezer detangling brush for detangling your locks while they're still wet.

He has super long, wavy, thick hair. I have short, fine, color-treated hair. This brush reduces frizz for him and helps to exfoliate his scalp, which is an issue for him.
The longer bristles are stiff yet gentle against my sensitive scalp. There's very little pulling or tugging despite the brush having dense bristles. The handle is very smooth and feels nice in your hand.
This feels like the brushes my grandmother had when I was a kid, and I'd bet it will last for a very long time." — Monica "I would definitely recommend this brush for any Latin or thick-haired person!! It is easy on detangling , durable, and the handle is easy to grip. The appearance looks great and of high quality, and it’s versatile for wavy hair.

This was a game-changer for me. I've already recommended this to friends who have ordered it and said the same thing. The picture is with a regular blow dryer vs.

" — Kathy "I was a little worried when I first used the shampoo. It lathers well and smells good, but when rinsing my hair felt as if I had washed it with a harsh shampoo. I applied the conditioner, and it was magic.

And finally, a talc-free dry shampoo so you can go a little longer between washes. I looove this product, and it doesn't feel like it weighs down my hair! Promising review: "I have black hair and a sensitive, flaky scalp and this disappears completely into my dark hair and doesn't irritate my scalp. It does have a white cast going on.
But leave it alone for a few minutes or longer and then brush it out, and it'll absorb. I've used this on day-three hair after a tough workout and my hair looks good as new. The scent is strong, but it reminds me of the Flowerbomb perfume , which I love.
Even got compliments the first time I used this!" — Elaine "It does not leave residue, and it smells really nice. A lot of dry shampoos have the same smell, but this smells really nice and refreshing. It doesn’t take much to make your hair look amazing.
Super easy to use and makes my hair feel nicer than when I wash it. I wish it was a little cheaper, but I’m at a point where I pay for the quality after trying other brands." — Sara Price: $15+ (available in three sizes) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
