"The new L’Oréal miracle water product is amazing. I can feel the difference in my hair after washing it out in the shower and it only takes 8 seconds" - [deleted]
Review: "My hair feels like silk when I use this. I have had the Brazilian blowout a few times and this feels even smoother and softer and lasts until you wash your hair again. For 8 seconds, it's Wonder Water for sure! Love it & have repurchased a few times." - AngNJax

"Hair dryer round brush. I used to never do my hair, I let it air dry and would have it up 24/7. With the revlon hair dryer round brush you can curl your hair in 10 minutes just splitting your hair in two and twirling it. My hair is always curled now! And hair is much healthier" - Initial_Savings8733
Review: "The REVLON One Step Volumizer PLUS Hair Dryer and Styler makes my straight hair smooth, and gives some volume. It's so easy to use and you get done with your hair in half the time it would take to use blow drier and a brush. It works exactly as described and is larger & more powerful that I imagined. If you want to get rid of frizzy hair and look you you have been to the salon this is the tool for you." - Denise Chen

I love the idea of these and tried several however they're not strong enough. I'll stick to my 3000 w hairdryer. Most of these are only about 1000w.

"Have you considered sleeping with a silk bonnet? I’ve recently started doing that and I feel like it’s helping my hair texture a lot, and I don’t have a hair tie in it all the time so I feel like there are less broken ends." - Content_wanderer
Review: "My hair is extremely damaged and was breaking off due to sleeping and my hair matting together while I slept. This bonnet is perfect! Stays on my head! I tuck the bow in at the top after tying and it stays all night. I don’t wake up with sweaty, matted hair anymore. I put my hair oil in and put my cap right on. The blush pink color is so pretty. Worth the money and works great." - Jake G

"Using henna to dye my hair. It seems to make my hair stronger and less prone to breakage (so has been able to grow a bit longer) and my scalp seems to like it as well. You do need to be okay with having red hair if you want to use it though!" - messedupnails
Review: "I’ve been using the henna guys for years and love there products! They always have easy to follow instructions, gloves and a hairnet in there bags, and it makes the process so easy. I’ve always had the color come out just like I want and my hair always feels so luscious and healthy after!" - Oscar Lara

Wanna know a great clarifying shampoo right in your kitchen. Dawn dish soap, I kid you not. Once a week or so and the gunk is gone! (for a LOT less $$)
