For those days when the thought of putting a 350-degree styling tool near your already-too-hot brow is just too much to bear.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Promising reviews: "I am usually not one to leave comments/reviews, but this stuff is worth it. I buy random hair stuff to try, notice it doesn't do anything, and move on to the next, and I have been in this vicious circle for a while. This product finally took me out of the circle, and I can confidently say it was WORTH every penny. My hair is wavy, and I like to air-dry it, so depending on the weather, my hair's mood, and the moon, it might look good, or I might look like Hermione in movie 1. This stuff changed the game, my waves look textured instead of messy, and smell good too! I would recommend this to anyone because I truly believe it brings out the best in one's hair." —Georgia O.

'What a beautiful styling cream, yet lightweight. Just a little bit tames frizz, shapes curls, and lets you air-dry with a lovely shape and feel. I have fine curly hair, and I love it." —Caroline

Promising review: "This hair oil is fantastic. I have three of the four horsemen of crunchy hair — hard water, dry environment, heat damage — and this oil is very conditioning. I imagine bleach damage would also benefit. I've used it on wet and dry hair, and it makes my frizzy ends sooo soft. If you have fine hair or thin hair, this product is not for you. You need to be realistic about this one. I have A LOT of hair, so this works great for me, but if your ponytail is the thickness of your pinky, you will not like the results of this product. It's a very thick oil, and I usually use a single pump. I'll probably buy this again." —Kate

Promising review: "Loved that it is so easy to put in and it truly just is the easiest hairstyle to wake up to, and all you have to do is take it out, give your hair a flip, and there you have the most beautiful blowout!" —AZ

Promising review: "I avoided this for so long due to the price, but finally caved. No regrets!! I have PCOS and have excessively thick hair, and when using this after showering, my hair and skin are so soft. Also, the bottle is so cute, I plan on reusing it when it's gone (which should be a while since a little does go a long way!!)."  —Jordan 

Promising review: "I have thick, waist length, 2c hair. This balm did a great job at defining my wave texture while keeping my hair soft with no sticky residue. I used this balm on the lengths and then followed with some effortless waves spray all over. I let it air dry and it still looked good after sleeping on it, I just touched up with a little moisture reactivator spray. Usually products that don't create a cast don't hold up so well overnight but this combo (balm plus wave spray) did. The scent is fine. It's more "natural" but dissipates quickly." —Hazel

Price: $12.50+ (available in three sizes) 

Promising review: "I have ordered these zig-zag headbands several times because they are the only headbands that keep my fine hair secure. They do not slip out and are cute!" —SherryR

Promising review: "FINALLY SOMETHING THAT WORKS AS ADVERTISED!!! I've tried literally everything to keep my ends from drying out and breaking in the dry, bitter Colorado winter, and this stuff is, hands down, the best. It's easy to apply, smells AMAZING, and doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy. My bleached, rarely trimmed ends feel so soft every morning and stay soft. My hair smells like I just got out of the salon. Love love love cannot recommend enough." —Meagan

Promising review: "I have been searching for a dry volume spray as a finishing touch, styling, and was not DISAPPOINTED. Love this product. It really helps add texture and has some hold, but doesn't make my hair feel like a helmet. You need this!!" —Lisa

Promising review: "These claw clips make putting my hair up so easy. I love that it helps keep my hair off my neck. I love that it is thick enough to hold all of my hair." —Marissa

Promising review: "This is the best dry shampoo! It cleans my fine hair without weighing it down or leaving any residue or build-up. I use it for three days straight between hair-washings to keep my hair looking great." —Wendy

Promising review: "I've tried a lot of dry shampoos, and Batiste is the one I keep coming back to. It absorbs oil quickly and actually makes my hair look clean instead of just masking the grease. I love that it adds a bit of volume too, which is a lifesaver on busy days when I don't have time to wash and style. The scent is fresh but not overpowering, and it doesn't leave a heavy residue if you blend it in well. It's also super affordable compared to other brands, which makes it easy to keep on hand. This is a staple for busy days!!" —Jasmine

Promising review: "As someone with naturally wavy hair, my hair usually gets very frizzy after I wash it or when the weather is humid. It also tangles super easily, naturally. I just do a couple of sprays on my hair while it's wet when I get out of the shower and brush it through, and my hair dries so silky and shiny with no frizz!! It feels super soft throughout 13-hour nursing shifts and barely tangles. Highly recommend!!" —Sofia

Promising review: "It's amazing. My hairstylist recommended this product. I was looking for an oil to help my damaged ends from highlights. This did not disappoint. Lightweight, not greasy, nice smell. My hair is so soft. Highly recommend." —Danielle B. 

Promising review: "So I never used these types of products, nor do I leave reviews often. HOWEVER, I feel I must shout from the rooftops my love of this product! Around month 4 postpartum, I lost my hair in clumps, and around month 7, it started growing back. I had pathetic tufts of hair that would stick out from the front of my head. This wand helped me keep them down and hide them so well! I use it daily to cover my baby bird feathers, as I like to call them. I'm gonna start buying this for all my pregnant friends as part of their baby shower gifts! It doesn't make my hair look greasy, as it is a very light formula. It just gently tames the wild hairs and keeps them at bay. Super easy to use. The packaging and applicator are perfect, easy to pop into any bag for on-the-go, but it does hold up pretty well for me, and I don't have to touch up often, if ever. 10/10 product." —Hannah banana 1228

Promising review: "I really like these clips, they're a pretty color, they don't get stuck, and they hold and and style my S waves perfectly while I do my makeup. 10/10 😊" —Cherry Pie

Promising review: "I just got this clip, but I've been wearing it all day, and I haven't had to readjust it once. My hair has gotten a lot longer lately, and I've needed to use a larger clip. My hair is about past my chest, and this fits my hair perfectly, and has not come loose at all, great hold! And it's cute." —Ca1111

Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews, but I had to write a quick one just to say this stuff is amazing! I have wavy hair that I have to use mousse or gel to make it curl up. My hair has never looked as good as it does since using this! It smells absolutely wonderful and doesn't make your hair crunchy like a mousse does! I'm so glad I tried this!!" —Mira

Promising review: "This product delivers!!!!!!! I was curling my hair so it would look nice. Frizzy and dry ends. I have been using this for three weeks now, and my hair looks great even when not styled without weighing it down." —Sara

Promising review: "I've been using this product for years. I air-dry my wavy, coarse hair. This product adds a lot of body and fullness. It helps detangle hair after washing. I feel like they improve the product over time. I also use 1 pump of their Hair Perfector before applying this styling cream. I highly recommend this 5-in-1 styler." —Susan

Promising review: "I love this wax stick! Repurchased so many times! Every time I use it, I get compliments, and I'm asked what I use!! A little goes a long way, and it fits perfectly in my purse. When I use this product, I don't need anything else in my hair. This wax stick holds all day, and doesn't need to be re-applied unless I wear a hat." —Yanni 

Promising review: "This hair serum is the BEST, and I've tried many!! My hair has never been softer and shinier since using this product. A little goes a long way and does not weigh your hair down or leave it greasy. It has a light coconut scent, not overbearing. A must have!! I'll never buy another brand again." —Aangel

Promising review: "This is FINALLY what I was looking for in a stiffer hair taffy or wax product. It has the hold level I wanted and was looking for, and doesn't leave my hair feeling or looking dry or straw-like. It is very natural-looking and has a nice sheen. Highly recommend, and I WILL purchase this again. I have used Kenra products in the past and should have gone with a brand that I know and like." —Luanne

Promising review: "I was skeptical about Cécred, but this product is out of this world! It is very hydrating and defines instantly. It tamed my 4b hair and kept it hydrated for daaayysss." —kelz 

Promising review: "Pleeeaaaasssee don't ever discontinue this product! It makes my hair super soft, shiny, and hydrated! It's the last step in my hair care routine. I'll apply it to slightly damp hair and finish with a blowout on low heat (this after my detangler and blowout cream), and let me tell you, my hair has never felt sooo good. I've tried every hair oil out there…and this one is up there. For reference, I have very fine hair strands but tons of them, like a lion's mane. Also, this does take the frizz down as well for me." —Becca 

Who *doesn't* like spraying a bit of foam into their hand? I ask you. 

Promising review: "It never occurred to me to try mousse for my hair. But just a palmful of this product dramatically reduces my frizz! I live in the humid Northeast, and this mouse helps my hair air-dry smooth and soft. I love it!" —Bonnie

Promising review: "These are my new favorite things! Since my hair is now down to my butt, it's started breaking off a bit when I put it up into high buns or ponytails. So these are a lifesaver! They feel sooo good in the hair! They don't pull at all! You can work out in them, sleep in them, let your hair dry in them, whatever! They feel amazing! I'm in love!" —ALW

Promising review: "I have fine hair and hate stiff hairspray. This product holds just right without feeling stiff. It has a pleasant smell. Try it!" —Shay
