If you already have a headband and just need some wrist backup, you can get a pack with just the wristbands on their own.

Promising review: "These are a must for every face wash! I don't know why I waited so long to purchase." —Hope Bynum

Get a six-piece set with two bow headbands and four wristbands from Amazon for $5.99 (available in several colors and pack sizes).

Promising review: "I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this life-saving stick! I've heard the viral reviews and it sat in my cart FOREVER. I finally purchased it and use it daily. Such a great value and useful product for flyaways without making your hair sticky or greasy." —nervcandy

Promising review: "I wished I had ordered this sooner. I use it to apply lotion on my upper back...between the shoulder blades. IT WORKS GREAT !!! The pad is a dense yet soft material that does NOT absorb the lotion. This is a great feature because you are not wasting any lotion. You don't want the lotion to absorbed into the pad before it is applied to your body. The pad is easy to clean, just wipe the surface and the sides, especially the area where the wooden handle fits into the pad. Let it air dry. I hang mine on an over-the-door hanger in the bathroom." —Jeannie Russell

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "Best hydrating mask for this price?! It’s incredible. I don’t sleep with it on since I toss and turn, having it on for 3–4 hours before taking it off for bed is perfect. I live in a very dry climate and this has done WONDERS for my skin. Why didn’t I hop on this bandwagon sooner!!" —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $19 (available in four scents and a pack of 16). 

Promising review: "AMAZING!!! I wish I bought this sooner. I have very thin hair but a lot of it. So it never holds a curl. This held a curl almost all day. It took me a second to figure out how to wrap it but it worked. It didn’t hurt my head at all when sleeping either." —Lauren

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.38+ (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "WHY did I wait to get this!! I love it! I have super thick hair plus I’m pregnant so my arms generally get tired. This is super easy to use and I feel I get a better clean. Plus I notice that I use less shampoo because it gives you a good lather. I’ve even caught my spouse using it and he loves it as well. He even uses it in his beard." —Kavonni

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 28 colors).

Promising review: "I’ve been wearing dark brown eyeliner as lip liner for 20 years, No matter what shade lipstick! I was hesitant to buy but I do not regret. It’s great to have a lip liner not smudge or mix w my lipstick too much. I used to work in cosmetics so I’m super skeptical but bought clover so happy with this product." —Sossie

Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This is a game changer for my skincare routine. My skin is sensitive and I struggle with using retinol, but adding this has reduced the irritation I normally get with retinol cream. Plus it hydrates so well and gives a glowy finish without feeling heavy. I just ordered two more bottles bc I’m almost out of my first bottle and can already see results." —Laura Goodwin

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

Promising review: "Only regret is that I didn’t buy this 10 or more years ago! I previously used high-thread cotton pillowcases and the way I slept literally left more of a baggy left eye — this pillowcase is so soft and doesn’t smash your face / eyes. Would give 6 stars if I could!" —Fred Paisley

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $18.77 (also available in a glowy version).

A heads-up for blondes: Some reviewers say this can leave lighter hair with an orange tint, so you may want to consider this alternative instead! 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says she's been using this for years now: "It tends to last me quite a long time. I also like to spray it along my hairline where I tend to be a little less vigilant about sunscreen application. It *does* smell like traditional, beachy sunscreen so if you hate that smell, I wouldn't rec. Oh, and it's vegan and reef safe!"

Promising review: "I finally realized I had to protect my scalp from the hot sun and from burning. This product helps those harsh UV rays from cooking your scalp. Good product." —Seabudd

Promising review: "This oil has a luxurious feel and soaks into the skin quickly. No rubbing off on clothes or sheets. Gives a sensual, glossy look to the skin when first applied and for awhile after. Deeply hydrating with a very soft, natural scent, hard to describe — kind of fruity/earthy, and very pleasant. The bottle is glass and very high quality also. The entire packaging is responsible and can be recycled ~ yay! Obsessed with everything about this product ~ HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —debbie
