Easy solutions for frizz, dryness, and split ends, plus styling hacks for cute updos and curls — we've got it all here.

Figuring out the best way to handle your hair can be frustrating, especially since everyone's working with a different length, density, and texture. Some products are designed to work best for specific hair types, like fine hair or coily strands, while others are a nonnegotiable, no matter what your mane looks like — like prepping your hair before you pick up that hot tool (seriously, put it down and grab that heat protectant!). From the moment you step out of the shower, how you treat your hair affects how it will end up looking while styled, and these easy-to-use products will help you through the entire process. 

Promising review: "Love these because they actually dry my hair pretty fast and are very soft on my hair. They stay in place, and I can go about my business without having to worry about my towel falling. Very comfy too." —M. Antillon

Breezy Tee is a Black woman–owned business based in Portugal. You can also shop directly on the Breezy Tee website.

Promising review: "I love this! So much better than using an old T-shirt since it is actually shaped well. Works great on my natural coils to prevent water and product from dripping all over me while I’m waiting for my hair to air dry. Also shipping was extremely fast despite it coming to the US from Portugal!" —sda369

Get it from Breezy Tee on Etsy for $28.50 (available in several colors and styles listed separately, including a towel with a button and loop so you can wrap it up with ease).

It's recommended for all hair types and textures where dryness and frizz are an issue!

Promising review: "It’s amazing. I have spiral curls. This stuff takes amazingly. I put this on before I dry my hair with a diffuser, and my curls were drop dead gorgeous and the frizzies were next to nothing." —CharlieFB

"My hair is fine, soft natural platinum silver. If I use heat on it to style it I use this product now. Before this product, I didn’t realize how easily silver hair would yellow and burn. This product is wonderful because it protects from high heat...up to 450. It smells great too and it is not sticky or tacky. Keeps your hair soft and smooth too. I highly recommend it!" —Tex

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "If you have long and/or thick hair, this is absolutely necessary! Just a few sprays over your head and your hair will dry so much faster. If you're thinking, 'it's so expensive for such a small amount,' you only need a small amount, and it lasts a really long time. I have long AND thick hair; I use it every time I wash my hair, and a bottle lasts me about 6 months." —Wanda H.

"This product was AMAZING. It made my 4c kinky-curly hair so silky soft and cut my blow-drying time down significantly. It also has a very pleasant smell, and I couldn't stop myself from using it. I'd recommend buying the bigger size as the small one will not last long, and the amount is that good for the price you pay." —MB

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes and two-packs).

It's designed for all hair types and reviewers across the board mostly report a good experience with it, from users with fine, thin hair to coarse, curly strands. That said, JVN says it's especially good for people with frizzy, wavy, curly, or coily hair.

As someone who's never had the patience to blow dry their hair, I picked this air dry cream up after seeing its heat-free results in this TikTok and reading all the positive reviews (plus, ya know, I feel like I'd trust Jonathan Van Ness with my hair). For context, I have extremely thin, fine hair that is mostly pretty straight. This air-dry cream has a really nice, silky consistency and smells like the salon (IDK how else to describe it, but it's a pleasant smell), and it doesn't make my hair feel greasy or crunchy after I've worked this through it. It definitely helps cut down on frizz and makes my hair feel really silky and healthy, even into the next day. If you don't have any natural wave to your hair, this isn't going to create that (at least not in my experience), so it makes sense that it's recommended for the hair types mentioned above. But even if you have straight, fine hair, if you don't already have a good leave-in conditioner, I'd still recommend this cream for its smoothing, hydrating benefits. A little goes a long way, and the bottle has a lot of product in it!

Promising review: "I'm 40 years old with wavy/curly hair. I've air-dried my hair for most of my life and just accepted I would have frizz. Even with using anti-frizz products. Not with JVN's air dry cream. No frizz!! My hair was silky smooth all day long. Not greasy or heavy from the cream. I will definitely buy again! And would highly recommend. Great value for money." —Kelly D.

Check out a TikTok of the spray in action. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a–4c curls swearing by it! 

Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air-dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this! Now it is gorgeous, soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" —Amazon Customer

Get an 8-ounce spray bottle from Amazon for $9.97.

It has two heat settings (low and high), plus a cool air option, and it's designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it working for them. 

Promising review: "Absolutely the BEST dryer I have ever owned. I was a little skeptical at first because I've used other blow dryer brushes and I wasn't wow'd (including the much more expensive Dyson). I have very thick, really curly hair and getting a smooth blowout easily and without an extensive drying time is something I thought impossible until I purchased this brush. Not only do I get a smooth blowout in about 15 minutes (versus 30–45 with a traditional dryer), I have volume, bounce and shine as if my stylist did it. It truly is as if I've just left the salon paying as much in one visit that I paid for this tool, one that will last a long time — definitely worth the price. My sister has fine, super straight hair. She used it on hers and she had more volume and lift than I've ever seen in her hair. If you've been debating and looking at other tools, stop looking and grab this tool. You'll be SO glad you did!" —dpm

Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in two colors and two barrel sizes).

It's compatible with hair dryers with a nozzle diameter of 1.7 to 2.6 inches. Reviewers say it's travel-friendly too, since it fits so many different hair dryers!

Promising review: "I have never used a diffuser before I purchased this one, but it is doing just what it said it would: dries wavy to curly (my hair) and gives my hair shine. I have white/gray hair that tends to look wiry, but when I use the diffuser, it takes away that wiry look and gives definition to my curls. Can't ask more than that! I also cannot attest to the travel part, except to say most hotels have hair dryers and this diffuser should fit them nicely, so you don't have to bring along a hair dryer. Yay!" —JB

Get it from Amazon for $21.25+ (available in seven colors). 

Reviewers with everything from stick-straight to type 4c curls swear by these! Use with wet hair and a blow-dryer for instant results.

Promising review: "I haven’t put curlers in my hair in YEARS. Saw this on TikTok. Thought it would be great, especially because I’m so lazy when it comes to styling my hair. Dried my hair about 60%–70%, put curlers in, slept on them (not uncomfortable to sleep in), and voilà — hair is curled and ready to go in the a.m." —lapiper21

Promising review: "I didn't think this would work. My hair is thin-ish and doesn't hold curl that well. I burn myself nonstop with the curling wand, just to have my hair lose most of the curl. So I tried this. I followed the suggestions in the reviews and a few YouTube videos that said to do it with dry hair, and OMG MY HAIR WAS GORGEOUS the next day. A beautiful wave, my hair was silky and shiny, AND it lasted THREE DAYS!!! I brushed them out each day, so they loosened a bit but still VERY pretty. I may never use my curling wand again because I read you can put this in your hair for two hours, and it will work. The tighter you wrap your hair, the tighter the curl, so you CAN get different looks." —Janice Morse

Get a set from Amazon for $12.78+ (available in 12 colors). You'll get two free satin scrunchies too!

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says, "I have these foam rollers and they're really great! The clips stay in my hair, even while sleeping (not the most comfortable way to sleep, but here we are), and the results lasted for days! If you're new to rollers, I recommend rolling in sections right down your center part (as the reviewer does above), and then curling the sides by section — just make sure you're rolling underneath the hair. And the curls will be tighter than you want when you take them out! Just finger detangle or brush through to achieve that softer, vintage-inspired look."

Promising review: "I've always had bad experiences with foam rollers in the past. I don't know what makes these ones different, but they stay in your hair, don't take long to dry, and give you long-lasting curls! I'm in love with them. I use about 12 at a time to curl my hair, spray a setting lotion, and either let them stay in overnight while I sleep or I sit under my hooded dryer for 10 minutes." —Katrina Holte

Reviewers compare this to pricier hair wavers like Conair. 

Promising reviews: "This might be the best hair waver on the market. 😩 I tried one of the popular ones off Instagram and it was terrible. Extremely bulky, I hit the temperature control when trying to wave my hair, and on top of that it didn’t even work! This Bed Head waver is 75% of the price and does a 1,000% better job! It is bulkier than your average straightener or curler but it’s not extremely heavy. I do agree with most of the other reviews that the temp control could use numbers. Took me three times before I found a technique to achieve the look I wanted. The waves last as well! I didn’t use any hairspray the first time I tried it and it stayed the whole day." —Hannah

"I have medium-length hair and it's the best waver I've ever used! I had the Conair one and it broke within a few months and it didn't wave my hair as well as this one! Very impressed how well it works!" —Shelby

Promising review: "The international traveler's BFF. Don't be fooled by the tiny price or size, this little baby is serious. If you are looking for a small travel option rather than lugging your big straightener and giant curling iron around the world, then I think you'll love this. It performs really well, turning my frizzy, wavy hair into a smooth and sleek style. The curling iron option also creates shiny, silky lasting curls! It's easy to transition between both. I also like the grippy handle and the fact that the curling iron clip is a different color than the straightening bars because that helps me see how I should be maneuvering it around. The voltage goes up to 240 so you are good using it internationally without a converter (but you will need an adapter just to fit it into various foreign outlets). At this price, definitely give it a try and flaunt your tresses abroad." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in black or white). 

Reviewers swear it works magic on all hair types, including 2c–4c — also, I have thin, fine hair and use this brush at home too! Plus, you can use it on both wet and dry hair.

Promising review: "I have thick, down to my butt long curly hair, so brushing has always been hell. Usually, I have to deep condition my hair, brush it out before I wash it (about a half hour), then brush it in the shower, and after my shower, to try and keep it manageable. I never thought that it would matter what brush I used for my hair because it's just always been the same no matter what I use. BUT THIS BRUSH. Oh my gosh! It has cut my hair brushing time down from 45 minutes to about five! And the best part, is that I can even brush it when it's dry! It doesn't rip or tug, my hair doesn't get poofy or frizzy, and it just takes away my knots and leaves my curls. It is built really well, tough enough to withstand even my nutty hair! Doesn't have those awful little beads that rip off in your hair. This is a life-changer for me!" —Ryan Turner

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors and in two-packs).

Promising review: "I have always been told that brushing curls is BAD, until I went to a new hairdresser and she did the 'Denman' technique on my hair and I was flabbergasted! It really brings out the curl; it's full-on MAGICAL. To think everyone had this style of brush in the '80s, and none of us knew their full potential! Highly recommend you look up how to use, and it is of course on wet hair only!" —Elisa Salmon

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in six colors).

This is the OG formula recommended for straight, wavy, or curly hair that gets frizzy. There's also the Extra Strength Dream Coat recommended for extremely dry, dehydrated, or extremely curly/coily hair; and the Dream Coat for Curly Hair recommended for wavy or curly hair as it'll leave you with bouncy, crunch-free curls. 

To use, apply it on damp (not wet) hair, then blow dry with tension to activate the product. For best results, Color Wow recommends using this after every 3–4 shampoos!

Promising review: "Hair nirvana. If you struggle with dry, coarse, unmanageable hair like I have, this is the product to buy. I am literally stunned at how much I love my hair now after just one use of this product. STUNNED. I have fought with my hair for years, I couldn’t ever find a product that made my hair feel silky (the way it feels after I leave the salon). I have color-treated hair, and have tried everything — I purchased every Moroccan Oil product with zero results. Then I read an article stating JLo’s hairstylist uses this WOW product on her, so I figured, I’ll take yet another chance. One word: WOW!!! It has given my dry, stiff, annoying hair new life. It looks tamed, silky, I can’t stop touching it because I never thought I could have hair like this outside the salon. BUY THIS PRODUCT!" —Beth, Boston MA

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes and an extra-strength version).

Promising review: "This is the BEST product I have used on my hair! I have my roots touched up every four weeks to keep the platinum blonde (helping hide gray hairs better) and Color Wow Money Mist showed an instant difference just blow drying. There is zero frizz, and my hair is shiny, soft, and beyond healthy looking! My new forever hair love right here!!!!" —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Holy grail curl definer. I have been using it to define my curls for about 5 years. I spent so much money on other definers before I found this gel. It is VERY moisturizing and does not give you that dry hard curl that feels like it will break off if touched wrong. It dries clear, does not leave any residue and curls will last until your next wash — which is usually about 4–7 days for me. You can use a little or a lot depending on how defined you want your curls to be. I use about a handful but that's my preference. I simply slather it on, root to ends, and then whip my head back and forth a few times and I'm done with my hair!! I am definitely a lifetime customer!!" —Starr

Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small family biz that specializes in hair accessories.

Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" —bld9

Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors).

Promising review: "I went from paying $165 and up per retightening to no longer having maintenance costs. If you have locks this is a must, even if it’s only used between appointments to freshen up your edges. It comes in a nice case and pouch, so between those two, I have not lost the tiny item yet. For me, this literally never happens because most small items I own are lost before I blink. Virtually pain-free — because of its smooth coating, it glides easily through your locks. It is large enough to hold comfortably for hours because I am slow, and the instructions are easy to understand. I have small to medium sister locks and could not be happier with the new freedom I have." —Kiara Hepburn

Promising review: "Honestly, I was very skeptical because I didn’t think I would like oversize scrunchies, but I have long hair, and I find any other scrunchies always pulling out my hair, so these are extremely comfortable. The downside is now I must get them in all colors 😃." —Dawn Sullivan

I've been using this stuff for a while and have to say, my hair has never felt better!! My hair is color-treated and tends to feel really dry at the ends, and I'm used to globbing on so much conditioner in an effort to have it feel silky and hydrated. With this Elizavecca treatment, I don't have to use very much, and it feels like it really permeates my strands to leave them sooo soft when I get out of the shower. And I've noticed that my hair legit feels better for days afterward! (Which is a good thing, since I only wash my hair a couple times a week!)

BTW, reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Promising reviews: "Wow! I have waist-length 3c curly color-treated hair that’s usually a nightmare to deal with, and this stuff is a game-changer. My hair is silky, my curls are defined, it dried in like half the usual time…seriously impressed!" —Stavana Jubinsky

"I'm a professional hairstylist and Matrix, Redken, and L’Oreal are all owned by L’Oreal, and each line has a lamellar water in it at different prices. I am here to tell you that they are all the exact same ingredients in different bottles. So buy the cheapest and save yourself some cash. Your hair will love you for it. I love this stuff." —anonymous87

Promising review: "A magical hair volumizer for those who have lost hope. I have always been frustrated with my hair weighing down around the crown, even if I could get some body into it in the morning, guaranteed it was flat by mid-day. This stuff is amazing! I just sprinkle a tiny bit around my roots/crown and it lasts all day and into the next. It's like a dry magic gel! Love this stuff and my 'new' hairstyle capabilities. The container is super tiny (think height of a cell phone) but a little goes a LONG way. It makes skipping washing hair that much easier for those of us with non-volumized hair/roots." —Jennifer Cibor

Promising reviews: "Where has this been all my life and how did I not know about teasing brushes? I have never been able to get a good tease using a rat tail comb so thought I would try this brush after reading about teasing brushes in a vintage hairstyle book. WOW — I have fairly fine hair and I am amazed at how well this works to give me volume. It's just the right width for my bangs too. The brush is well-made, with no loose bristles. I get it really sticky using pomade, and it washes up nicely. Not losing any color/flaking on the handle." —Judi W

"My hairdresser suggested this teasing brush, and she was right! It gives lift where I need it and also a great smoothing finish. Nice size to work with and easy to clean." —Kathy C.

Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in five styles).

BTW, this is cruelty-free and benzene-free!

Promising review: "I bought this in desperation after having elbow surgery, which left me unable to wash my own hair. I have tried countless dry shampoo sprays and have been disappointed every time. But this? Absolutely 100% game changer. It kept my hair feeling clean and oil-free for several days at a time. It's easy to use, absorbs in quickly, no white residue on my dark hair, and you don't need much. I will never buy another brand again. This is my holy grail of dry shampoo." —Bad Girl

Get it from Amazon for $17.60 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "I have long curly hair and it's very annoying to deal with in the heat. Hair ties and scrunch rip my hair out and clips/claws just look dumb. These are the perfect solution and will now use these forever and ever. I do think they work so well because my hair is so long and thick, so they may not work great for fine/shorter hair." —carly g.

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three color sets). 

Promising review: "I have straight hair that falls past my shoulders. It has no natural curl at all, and it's heavy/thick. So clips tend to slide right out of my hair, or they're not strong enough to hold it on their own. I usually have to add lots of bobby pins, and even then, I usually have to re-clip over and over throughout the day. Not with this clip! I have been wearing the large black one for about 10 hours. I went outside. I did yard work. It's STILL PERFECT. And, best of all, it's not uncomfortable! It doesn't pull in strange places or tug little hairs while others fall out. I don't know how they managed it, but it's amazing. Absolutely worth the money." —Teal Kozel

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 25 sets, including three sizes and a variety of colors).

Be sure to follow with a good conditioner afterward!

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS!! When I get my hair highlighted, I always use another purple shampoo, and it never works for my hair at all. So I wanted to try this (thanks to TikTok). And I am not disappointed. My super yellow hair turned the blonde I wanted within one use, and I have used it more often, and it just lightens it more and more. But beware, it can stain hands, so rinse your hands after!" —jillian lee

That said, gray hair is gorgeous, so let those silvery strands shine! At the end of the day, it's whatever makes YOU feel best.

Promising review: "This product is terrific for hiding the pesky gray hairs that start to emerge 1–2 weeks after coloring my hair. I have dark hair, and a lot of gray around my forehead and temple areas, so any gray hairs are beyond obvious. Once they start to peek out, I use this product and I can last another couple of weeks before coloring." —Carissa K

Promising review: "This oil really surprised me. My attitude with oils was always, an oil is an oil. But there is something with this oil combination that makes a big difference in my hair. Even though it's an oil it makes my hair feel so hydrated, I can't explain it. It just works. I buy three bottles at a time now." —Candice K.

HairZing is a small business that creates damage-free hair accessories. FYI, they make clips for specific hair types, including designs for fine, thin hair; coily, kinky hair; and thick, curly, and wavy hair.

Promising reviews: "I love this clip! I have medium-length very thick, coarse, curly hair. Most clips can't hold all my hair or keep it secure and the ones that do end up being too tight and give me a headache. This one holds all my hair in place securely and comfortably all day long and is super easy to clip into place. I can even lay down comfortably with it. Well made and durable. Worth every penny!" —L and M Smith

"I have shoulder-length fine, curly hair and it works wonderful! The older style [of banana clips] was tight fitting and I usually ended up with a headache. This type is easier on your hair and you can kind of loosen the grip by adjusting the fit, resulting in no headache! It will be handy this summer in warm weather!" —Kim

Promising review: "I have naturally curly fine hair. I love wearing ponytails but it's sooooo hard to find anything that will hold up my hair and not hurt my head. THESE CLIPS ARE AWESOME!!! It's a little tricky to get my curls through it initially, but if you go slow it works fine. These hold up my hair EVENLY! No pulling or tugging on strands that hurt a few hours later. I ordered more the first day! These clips are an A+ in my book!" —Ali Michelle Berumen

It's made with a five-oil blend that mimics your hair's natural oil, meaning your locks will feel soft and healthy rather than greasy. And it works on curly hair too! 🙌

Promising review: "This stuff is pure magic! I have very curly hair that I often straighten, but even when I use it for wearing my hair curly, this keeps all the frizz away. I really have never found something that comes this close to how your hair feels when you get a salon blowout! I really love this stuff, although I have to say I love all the Living Proof products!" —Kelly Waterman

Just a note that you don't have to lay your edges, but this is great if you do!

Promising review: "The quality of this product is simply just amazing. It will lay those 4C edges for all day up to 8 hours coverage. The smell is not as pungent as other products I have tried. This product is thick must use edge control brush, and the ease of use is use it as you would any other edge control. Apply a little to the brush place it on those edges tie it down, let it dry, and walk away. The price point is amazing. The size of the container will last quite a while, depending on how much you use. Can't go wrong with Ebin." —ms. jackson

The kit comes with the beard straightener, a premium wooden comb, and a convenient travel pouch or case. The premium straightener has 12 heat levels and a digital screen for precise temperature control. 

I got my partner the premium kit for Christmas a couple years ago — I honestly wasn't sure if it would end up collecting dust, but to my surprise he actually loved it and said he'd been wanting something like this! Now every time we go out, he loves using this to straighten his beard and get it looking nice. 

Promising review: "Have you ever had an epiphany and thought to yourself why didn’t you think up this years ago? I was getting tired of my wild beard and was secretly jealous of guys with nice straight beards. Until I had an epiphany: What if there was such a thing as a beard straightener? A quick search of Amazon and they had them! It makes a big difference in my beard! This beard straightener works great!" —Steven Carroll

Note: For vibrant results, this works best on pre-lightened hair, and will add a tint of color to darker shades. Both reviewers pictured above had bleached their hair previously.

Promising review: "Gorgeous color, it took to my hair very well and is so bright. Application process was easy, lots of product and love the jar form; it’s easy to dip brushes into. The smell is so much better than any other hair coloring product I’ve used. I’ve been dying my hair myself for a long time, so don’t expect your results to be just like mine. It takes almost two hours of patience. Start with a light hair color in order for it to be vibrant." —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $16.47 (available in 15 shades).

Promising review: "It smells heavenly, the perfect consistency, and so hydrating without being a runny oily mess. It feels and looks very high-end, and the dropper lets me control how much I’m using, so much better than a pump. I used to use Ouai’s hair oil, which is amazing, but the pump bottle made it tricky to control just the right amount of product. This oil may seem pricey, but it will last you well over a year; you don’t need much, even on thick, coarse, or curly hair. I will be trying Gisou’s other hair products! I’m obsessed with this smell!" —Ashley Haney

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I recently started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it a few weeks ago. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

Promising review: "I cannot explain how good this feels when you're using it! It relaxes you and for sure is better than just using your fingertips to shampoo your hair. It actually goes down to the roots and makes sure that it gets into all the spots it can to clean your hair. I can tell you right now that my hair has never felt smoother than after I started using this product. I would definitely recommend this!" —Romie Patel

Promising review: "My hair was always straight until recently, so I’m still pretty new to figuring out my curly/wavy hair. My hair is fine and probably about a 2b, which is curlier when shorter. I had been sleeping on a regular cotton pillowcase and waking up to frizz and limpness, so I knew I needed to change things up. This is my first bonnet, and it works great! I’ve tried using it both in a loose pineapple using the included scrunchie, and on its own, and it definitely keeps my curls/waves more defined and less frizzy for longer and helps my hair to keep its definition. In its curly state, my hair is right at/just past my shoulders, and I was worried about there being too much space in the bonnet to keep my hair looking good, but it does the job! I also can’t stand being too warm at night, and I find this doesn’t bother me." —DC

Promising review: "I was most excited about receiving this than anything else in my cart. I didn’t like wearing my bonnet because my hair would go flat and above my ears. It literally looks like a hat stuck to my head, so I wanted to try a satin pillow. I went to sleep with it, and my hair was basically done when I got up; I just had to shake my head a bit, and I was ready for school. I prefer this much more than a bonnet 😻ྀིྀི. My hair ended up lasting the whole week (the picture [above] was on the last day of the week)." —Pamela Ortiz
