Because the fact that you even got out of bed is one thing, but the thought of even plugging in a hot tool...let’s not push it.

I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord swears by them: "These are designed to work on all hair types. They're game changers for me as a runner and a human. I basically have one on my wrist and in my hair at all times. They're super soft but lock in place really well on runs — I've never once had to adjust or tighten them, even on long-distance runs. What I love most, though, is they are *super* gentle when you pull them out. As someone who already sheds a lot, I am determined to keep as much of my hair on my head as possible!! These are also great for sleeping in because if you wear them loose, they don't dent your hair like other hair ties might. They are definitely more expensive than other hair ties, but worth it — I've rotated the same pack of six for over two years now!"

This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!

Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel-drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610

This mousse is ideal for curly, natural, and thicker hair types.

Promising review: "I have permed hair with 3b curls, and this is the best mousse I have found! It does not leave my hair sticky or stiff, it’s very moisturizing, and the foam is a great consistency. The scent is light and pleasant, and this is my new go-to for both freshly washed hair or the day after re-boost. So glad I found this!" —Tonii

These are designed to work with all hair types, but work best if you roll them with damp hair! Each set comes with a curling rod and two hair scrunchies. 

Promising review: "It’s very quick to learn how to use this, and the results are fabulous! I love how my hair looked the next morning. It was slightly uncomfortable to sleep with the first time I used it, but the second time I did not notice it. Comes with the heartless curler and two scrunchies made of the same material, but lacks a claw clip to secure it in place when wrapping your hair." —Abby A.

Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in 11 colors). 

Promising review: "Another amazing product TikTok made me buy. I was looking for something for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking. This one has a longer spray time, and the mist is perfect when I don’t want to get my hair too wet. All in all worth it, especially for the price." —M.Zuniga

These clips are ideal for curly, wavy, and thicker hair types.

Promising reviews: "They really make a difference! I have wavy hair that's silky and lies flat on top. The metal curl clips never gave me much lift, and I don't like to use a lot of hairspray, if any. These clips are way better! They actually give me the poof on top I always crave!" —Julia 

"They don’t pull your thick hair. You can sleep in them. Usually use 3–4 at a time to do curly girl styling. But even one will hold all of my thick hair. By some kind of magic, they don’t pull, tug, or pinch. It’s bizarre. No headache. Gone is the scrunchie bun. Even if it’s holding a small amount of hair, it doesn’t flop over. Stays in place. Did I mention NO PULLING." —Tonya Halvorson

Get a nine-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 color packs). 

Reviewers vouch that this works for pretty much all hair types, from fine, straight hair to coarse 4c hair.

Promising review: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it throughout the day. My hair is softer and doesn’t seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair, and then after it’s dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I’ll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I’ve been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I’ve barely made a dent in it. Love it!" —Noley

Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try. It may soon be your favorite!" —Melanie Havert

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in three shades, including a scented version). 

Promising review: "So cute for my trip to Hawaii!! They hold up my thick hair with ease, and they are the perfect size. Also, as a bonus, they work great to hold open curtains as cute room decor. They are a thicker plastic, so they are durable and don't feel like they will be breaking any time soon." —anonymous

Promising review: "These hair clips are really good quality. My hair is a couple of inches past my clavicle, about four inches past, and medium thickness. The clip holds it very securely. I think these clips could hold thin or thick hair. Thank you for a fabulous product." —Debra DeMattei

Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight designs). 

Promising review: "I personally am not a fan of how the hair oils feel on my hands and have found this product to be a great alternative! I like to braid my hair at night and then pull it out and wear it wavy. But if I comb through it, it’s a frizzy mess! This product definitely tames it down!" —Sarah Thielke

Promising review: "I have long curly hair and use bonnets at night to prevent tangling, drying, and breaking of my hair. I knew this bonnet was different as soon as I put it on. The wide, soft band was so comfortable on my head, and the long straps to tie it were incredible. I’ve had bonnets before where the elastic was just one size with no option to tie, and they were often too tight or too loose; both were awful to sleep in. I also love the size of the bonnet because I did not have to find a way to fit all of my hair in; it was roomy enough to fit with ease. The material is so silky and smooth, and it's incredibly lightweight, so it didn’t feel like it was tugging down. I was not disturbed at all in my sleep wearing this bonnet because it was so comfortable. The color is super pretty, and I will be buying more of these. They’re now my favorite!" —Emily

Use this on wet hair after shampooing — only on your lengths, and no more than 2–3 times a week. It's recommended to use one dose for fine to medium hair, 2–3 doses for thick to curly hair, and add one more dose if your hair is long. There are measurements for the doses on the bottle!

Promising review: "OMG!!! Most amazing hair treatment I’ve ever used in my entire life. Most hair masks weigh my hair down but since this is a water, it makes it SO soft and bouncy. I’m obsessed and will keep buying. Holy grail." —	fariba

These pins work on every hair type from fine to coarse, thick to thin, and long or short.

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small biz that specializes in helpful 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: "You have to try it! I've been looking for something like this for a long time! I put it in my hair while it's still wet and go to bed with it in. In the morning, I don't have to touch my hair… It's already perfect as is! Wow!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I have very fine hair, and no matter what product I use, it never seems to have any volume...until I found this miracle powder! I've been using it for years. Just a few dashes of powder to my roots and my fine limp hair looks amazing! If you have fine hair, don't hesitate to buy this!!!" —Kitty Blocher

Here's how to use the brush: Brush it through wet hair in an outward motion, and twist it to shape curls. You can also use it while blow-drying your hair to make the styling process a little easier.

Promising reviews: "It’s the best then for bringing out 4C curls. Just add some gel and use this brush." —AllAboutToya

"I have been struggling to get my curls without frizz for the longest time. This brush was the missing piece! Super easy to use. My hair has a 2c pattern. My curls finally clump together, have wonderful bounce and the lift I get at the top of my hair? Perfection! Highly recommend. I will never be without one of these brushes." —Yargonian

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in seven designs).

Promising review: "This was the best purchase ever. I had braids and took them down three months later, and if I didn't have this brush to get the knots and tangles out, I don't know what I would have done. I swear by this brush. It's a must-have. I have type 3c coil hair if you are wondering, but I recommend it for all hair types if you deal with knots and tangles." —Monica

Watch a TikTok of the Got2B Glued Wax Stick in action!

Promising review: "I really like this wax stick! It works great for medium to long hair and keeps every strand in place all day. The best part — it doesn’t leave any clumps or residue. You just glide it over your hair, and everything looks smooth and clean. It gives effective hold without feeling sticky or heavy, and there’s no greasy 'dirty hair' effect. It also adds a touch of moisture, so hair stays soft and healthy-looking, not dry or stiff. Super convenient for quick touch-ups on the go." —Anastasiia

This formula (Hype Fit) is intended for fine and thin hair types. For a stronger hold, try the Hard Fix formula, which is more suitable for curly and thick hair types.

Promising review: "This hair mascara is very easy to use and gives a strong hold. It keeps baby hairs and flyaways down without making my hair stiff or sticky. I like that it dries fast and doesn’t leave white flakes. The brush is perfect for detailed areas, and the size is convenient to carry in a bag. I’m very happy with this product." —Sunny Jang

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in two formulas).

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 @ Edelweiss Patterns

Promising review: "Really impressed with this half wig. The deep wave curls are soft, full and look very natural. The 180% density gives it great volume without feeling heavy, and the length is true to 20 inches. I love that it’s glueless with a drawstring, so it’s quick and easy to put on, even for beginners. The flip-over style blends well with natural hair and can be worn in different ways. Definitely a good everyday wig with a natural look." —Ann Morrah-Longbridge

Promising review: "I love this bun. It is so versatile to me depending on how you pin it. You can definitely get a lot of different looks out of it. It's so easy to install, it saves me time getting ready and it's comfortable to wear all day. The color match looks great with my chestnut brown zooey bangs (I'm wearing Sammy in mixed brown). I love that my hair can look this great without any heat damage to my natural hair." —Alisa B.

Promising review: "Quick and easy to use. Hair is soft and similar to my own natural curl patterns. It gives me the fullness that my own puff needed! Will be trying other colors." —Nad

Get it from Amazon for $8.08+ (available in 13 shades).

Promising review: "I bought this after watching a makeover artist and saw he recommended it. There are three rows, which surprised me. I use it to tease my hair a bit for volume and this thing is THE BOMB! Makes short work of it and doesn't know my hair in a tangled mess. LOVE IT! You won't be sorry." —LynnAnn S.
