Promising reviews: "This stuff is honestly incredible. My hair has a slight wave to it but typically just looks frizzy. I am also lazy and have no desire to go through a bunch of steps to do my hair. A dime-sized amount of the cream right out of the shower, and my waves are popping like they never have. Plus, no frizz!!" —TheStumpys "I've been on my curly (but also lazy!) hair journey, and this product is perfect for letting my natural waves come through when I air-dry! It's buildable and leaves a nice texture in my hair when it dries, doesn't make my hair feel sticky, and smells sooooo good." —Brittany Get it from Amazon for $21+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I just used this Briogeo Farewell Frizz blow-dry cream for the first time and am really pleased with the results! The product is an almost liquid cream that smells good, natural, and a little citrusy. After drying, there is still a slight scent in my hair. I tried it because my heat protectant has silicone in it, and it just weighs my hair down too much, feels greasy after a day and a half, and I'm lazy enough that I don't like washing it more than two to three times a week. I have 2c/3a hair that is pretty densely packed on my scalp, but the strands are getting finer as I get older. It is low-medium porosity, and I recently got an awful haircut, so I haven't been able to wear it natural because it's just too short, so I've had to blow-dry or straighten it after every wash. No frizz or flyaways, my hair feels nice and soft, smooth and not fluffy, and it feels like it won't be weighed down after a day." —hrw81 Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "This stuff really IS a miracle conditioner. My hair has gone completely gray. As my once beautiful and natural brunette color faded into oblivion, so did my hair's natural softness and shine. And I developed serious frizz, especially on the top layer of my hair. Over the years, I have tried everything (or at least it feels that way) to remedy my sad, dry hair: the fancy French stuff, the fancy all-natural stuff, not to mention expensive masks, and creams, and serums galore. I bought this leave-in conditioner purposely for my gym bag. I just wanted to have something to keep my hair from getting super dried out after laps and water aerobics in the pool. Plus, I'm lazy. I'm not trying to do an hour-long water aerobics session and then go through a whole hair routine in the locker room. I'm just absolutely blown away by this. I used it for the first time recently, and I cannot believe that the shiny (!), SOFT, not frizzy hair on my head is the same hair I had last week. I mean, I literally swam, washed my hair with a chlorine-removing shampoo, and then sprayed this stuff through my damp hair. I didn't use any other products, didn't use any heat styling tools like a flat iron... I let my hair air-dry for a good long while and then hit it with a blow dryer several hours later. I cannot believe this stuff!! It absolutely, positively works!" —A.L. Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five sizes and multipacks). Promising review: "Despite all the good reviews on this brush, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical. My hair is waist-length and fine, which means it gets tangled on its own as soon as I touch it. I've tried detangling combs with little success, so I didn't have such high hopes for this brush. But holy wow does it work. It has cut the brushing time for my hair, both dry and wet, in half, which is a relief for my arms and my scalp. I don't have to work nearly as hard as I do with a normal brush to brush out all the tangles and snags in my hair; in fact, it only takes a couple of swipes, and I'm onto the next section. Even if I leave my hair braided for a couple of days without touching it (which always ends in a mess of tangles, but alas, I'm lazy), this brush just glides through without a fuss or me having to actively work on all the tangles. I don't even need a spritz of detangler spray or a splash of water. I wish we'd had this when I was a kid because it would have made brushing my hair so much less painful and much less of an ordeal." —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes, 10 colors/patterns, and two-packs). Promising review: "I am a very lazy hair person. This works so great, I just spray on my hair and brush it out and blow-dry, and reel in the compliments. My hair looks so smooth and shiny. I couldn’t be happier." —Lisabc Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "I have fine, wavy hair that I prefer to let air-dry (sheer laziness on my part) and have been looking for a leave-in to enhance my waves and tame the frizz. The texture is light, almost weightless, which is fantastic for fine hair. It didn’t weigh my hair down or make it look limp. So all in all, it performed its job. BUT the fragrance is overpowering! Cotton candy sweet. I know fragrance is a subjective thing, so some people may love smelling like they styled their hair with pure sugar, but I’m not that person." —RecoveringRedGirl Get it from Amazon for $30+ (also available in two bundles with additional products). Promising review: "If you’ve been thinking about it, just get it. I am lazy with styling my hair, and this dries my hair and leaves it bouncier and with a little curl. So much better than a regular hair dryer." —chickadee Get it from Amazon for $108.50+ (available in four sizes). Promising review: I've had my eye on spin pins since I first saw them at my local Target, but didn't want to go through the hassle of returns when they inevitably failed to revolutionize my hair routine. Well, internet, I was wrong. These ingenious pins have happily facilitated my lazy approach to hair styling, and the result always looks complicated and thought-out, considering the short amount of time it takes to create gorgeous buns. I highly recommend searching the internet for more ideas than what the box provides... The possibilities are endless! No more damaged hair from ponytail bands and constant adjustment/fixing. These work great with my fine yet thick hair. I'm so glad to say sayonara to bobby pin buns!" —shalesbales Get from Amazon for 7+ (available in a two- or three-pack in two colors sent randomly). Promising review: "My holy grail product! A must-have for curly/wavy gals. On lazy days, I use only this and give my hair some scrunching. I get lovely definition, and my hair is soft and frizz-free." —Madz Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This stuff actually does work pretty well to add a bit of volume. I have extremely fine (I mean, THIN) but very long hair and desperately need some volume at the roots. I don't have time to blow-dry or do anything else fancy with my hair, so this is a good product for someone like me who is a bit on the lazy side. I just sprinkle a little at my roots, scrunch it up, and out the door." —🌸The Vu Family🌸 Promising review: "Life changers!!! These hair bands are perfection. They stay in place, they don't break off my hair, and they help give volume! I use these all the time, both for intense workouts and lazy days. My hair is very fine, but I have a lot of it. They are great." —Mrs. Meier Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7 (available in three colors). Promising review: "I LOVE THIS GEL!!!! It's my go-to when I'm too lazy to make actual flaxseed gel." —Swaswoopa Promising review: "My hair is not my best feature. And if I’m honest, I don’t put a lot of effort into it besides regular trims. However, I really like this! My hair (shoulder length, fine, wavy white girl hair) dries really soft, and I can just brush it after air-drying. Definitely recommend this product for lazy girls like me!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "You know you need to keep this on hand for those in-between days or lazy days. Easy to use. This one works well, blends easily, and gives my hair a little puffier look, which I like. Takes away the greasiness quickly." —danefarm Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (also available in a two-pack). Promising reviews: "I am lazy and need dry shampoo often. This stuff is absolutely the best: It cleans greasy roots instantly and, unlike spray shampoos, does not cover everything in your bathroom with white powder. Will absolutely buy more and tell everyone I know!" —Lana "This little thing is awesome. Just a few pats down the middle and along the sides, really fluff it into your hair, and looks-wise, you've got freshly washed locks. It does add texture, not a bad thing, so it won't feel fresh, but neither does it feel dirty. To the people who say it makes their hair look chalky, you didn't rub it in well enough and/or somehow managed to use a mountain of it (a little goes a long way). I have medium to dark brown hair, and you can't tell when I've used it. In fact, I can get away with using it twice before a wash if I'm being extra lazy (lol), and it still looks fine. Would definitely recommend!" —Helen L. Get it from Amazon for 13.59+ (available in three shades, a refill pack, and multipacks). Promising review: "I absolutely love my Snappees! I first came across them while watching naturalista hair tutorial videos. I have very thick but manageable natural tight curly hair, and these snaps are perfect for my high puffs, buns, and old hair on lazy days! They do not cause my hair to snag, and there's no tension on my scalp." —AriLyne Get a three-pack on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "I have shoulder-length wavy hair, and lots of it. It can hold a curl for days, or I can slay a straightened bob style cut as well. I need to be able to do all the things and transport as few things as possible to do it. Also, I'm lazy. I ended up choosing this over the Dyson because it was everything in one: a hairdryer and a curling iron, a blowout tool, or a curl diffuser. I didn't need to buy two different tools to do the same thing; this is everything. To me, this is the ultimate traveling tool, because I just need to decide how I'm doing my hair and find a place for the attachments in my bag. I'm no longer packing a hairdryer, a straightener, and a curling iron in my bathroom bag. I've been consistent with blow-drying my hair before bed, and I even slipped this tool and my curlers into my large purse for a wedding to help touch up my hair due to the Houston humidity. This tool has been worth the money since day 1, and I am still extremely happy with my purchase." —Katherine Get it from Amazon for $269.99+ (available in four versions). Promising review: "Perfect for long hair, so glad I purchased! I've seen these in many stores but never paid much attention to them because I thought it would be a waste. Why buy special towel wraps when I can let my hair air-dry, or I can wrap it in a regular towel I have at home? I was wrong and have learned so much! These towels are good quality: They're durable, soft, absorbent, lightweight, odorless, and breathable. They're easy to use — they wrap like turbans, there's a button on the back, and an elastic band which you put around the button so the towel stays in place. I've had no issues with my towels; they stay in place and get the job done. I have long, thick hair, and air-drying usually takes a few hours, but with these, my hair dries within an hour of getting out of the shower. I know most people either let their hair air-dry or blow-dry it, but I'm too lazy to blow-dry, and I'm also not a fan of using heat products. These wraps are a good alternative." —Denise Garcia Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two- and three-packs and in 12 color combinations). Promising review: "I had ordered a couple of hair claws and couldn't jam my long hair into them. These claws, in classic black matte and tortoise shell, did the trick. I'm glad to see hair claws come back in style because I am extremely lazy." —Bobbi Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available individually or in two-packs and in seven different styles). Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. This solves the whole problem of my gray hair growing out and having to dye my hair all the time. A. I can be lazy for another week or two about the whole process. B. It completely goes on easily with the little powder puff that's included inside the little case for easy storage. I can carry it around in my purse. I have had absolutely no problem with it bleeding on my pillowcase or anything else. It does not come off on anything and looks amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend buying this if you want to lessen the amount of times you have to get your roots touched up. It is amazing." —candace crocetti Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes, 14 colors, and five color sample kits). Promising review: "I have very, very thick, wavy, frizzy, coarse long hair. I have tried it all in an attempt to tame it, but every morning is the same. Wake up with a bat's nest from hell, break three brushes trying to comb it out, and ultimately just lazy-bunning it and walking out the door. I was skeptical about trying the hair bonnet. I must have read over 100 reviews from so many, and I settled on this one because further investigation proved it was actually the fabric labeled and not just words in the ad. The material is super soft and smooth. It's easy to put on and stays put through my tossing and turning. I was definitely surprised it stood by its claim. When I took it off the next morning, I expected a mess of knots and snarls as usual; however, I was absolutely floored when my hair just flopped out, straight and silky smooth. Not even frizz clinging. Not only could I run a comb through it, but I could run my fingers through it. The best part — no greasy look. The bonnet may look funny, might even get a few laughs at ya, but if you got thick, frizzy, unmanageable hair, like me, this is a must buy, this is your hair's bff!" —Theresa Marie Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get the black color at this price; available in 13 colors). Each set comes with a curling rod and two hair scrunchies. These are designed to work with all hair types. Promising review: "I’m honestly so impressed with this satin heatless rod set! I put it in overnight and secured it with a duckbill clip, and it stayed perfectly in place the entire time. I’m also a side sleeper, and it was still incredibly comfortable. I barely noticed I was wearing it. I have naturally curly, frizzy hair that’s fairly long (down to my bra strap), and I simply brushed and detangled it before putting the original size rod in. I’m pretty lazy and not very skilled when it comes to doing my hair, but I watched a few how-to videos and couldn’t believe how simple it was to execute. The results were amazing. My hair came out soft, smooth, and beautifully styled, with the frizz noticeably tamed. It also helps extend my hair-washing days. My hair stays less greasy and much more manageable. The next morning, I took it out, and my hair looked incredible and voluminous. Perfectly formed curls on the very first try. No learning curve at all. It gave me that effortless, polished look without any heat damage. If you’re looking for an easy, comfortable way to get beautiful, smooth curls, I highly recommend this. It exceeded my expectations!" —E Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in 11 colors). Promising review: "This curling is literally made for lazy people like me. Just press a button, and it does the work, no burning my fingers, no stress. It gives soft beach waves in minutes and looks like I actually tried. Super easy, quick, and perfect when you’re rushing but still want to look put together. Love it!!" —Gabriela Pina Get it from Amazon for $47.97+ (available in two sizes and three colors). Promising review: "After buying over 20 of these, it's finally time I write a review! And yes, I have in fact purchased over a handful of these hair extensions! I'd like to consider myself a hair extension connoisseur, considering I've worn almost every type of hair extension since I was 15 years old (sew in, glue, braided, microbeads, clip in, tape, etc.). I've purchased expensive brands like Bellami, and I always come back to these ones! It's one large piece, so it's super easy to clip in. It's super full, luscious, soft, and curled to perfection. Perhaps I love them so much because I'm lazy and my regular Bellami clip-ins take forever to style and install. Not with these! I'm out the door in five minutes and receive a TON of compliments on my hair. —Monica Get a five-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six lengths and 29 hair colors). Promising review: "I don't write many reviews, but this deserves it. I've tried a lot of curl creams, and this is the best for sure. I'm lazy and air-dry, and I don't want the crunch of mousse. I just want to use one product and be done with it! This stuff keeps my hair soft but keeps the frizz down and makes my curls bouncy." —Oliver H. Get it from Amazon for $11.11+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I got two because I wanted to go for the afro puff look, and they are absolutely beautiful. I received so many compliments, and it looks so natural. So many people thought it was my real hair. Definitely fluff them out on the parts closest to the head so they don't look too clean, that's what works for me. I also rock the single afro puff when I'm too lazy to part my hair, and it's just as perfect. Definitely buy these. 💕" —Jazz Get it from Amazon for $7.18+ (available in 13 shades).

Promising review: "I have shoulder-length hair and like to pull my hair into a ponytail for working out or just non-hair-wash days. The front pieces usually don’t stay in the ponytail, but this wax stick has helped a lot. And it really helps to smooth my hair. I feel more put together now — even on lazy hair days!" —Anne Malinowski * For The Softest Hair Of Your Life, Try These 27 Products * Hair Products With Reviews So Good, I Bet You’ll Add To Cart * If You’re Tired Of Your Hair Having The Same Ol’ Look Every Day, Check Out These 31 Hair Accessories * Hair Products Reviewers Say Withstand Humidity, Rain, And/Or Sweat BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
