Because no one wants to worry about a falling hairstyle by 1 p.m.

As a Deputy Editorial Director for BuzzFeed’s shopping team, I love to get into the weeds of why a product’s worth the money by deep diving into customer reviews, and product-testing as much as possible.

Getting ready in the morning for your day can be enough of a hassle. But when whatever you've done to your hair doesn't stay put, it feels like a personal affront, whether you went through the effort to give yourself a blowout or you threw your dirty hair up into a claw clip. Here, I gathered some solutions so your hair isn't a worry throughout the day. Let's focus on the more important stuff, like if your friends are available for happy hour. 

Its seven-oil blend (Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil) promises to reduce your hair-drying time and provide heat protection up to 450 degrees. 

Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

"Awesome product, repeat buyer." —Amanda

Promising review: "I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." —ninjamommy

Promising review: "Love it! Works great, doesn't look greasy. Leaves the hair looking sleek. I have naturally curly hair and straighten my hair some days." —Nicole Woods

Dae is a small business that specializes in haircare and styling products. 

(It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is a handy option if you do.) 

Promising review: "I’ve tried numerous products for taming baby hairs, especially post-partum, and this is hands down the best thing I’ve tried. It also smells incredible! Love the size of the styling wand!" —Completely happy customer! 

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 spend 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

Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (also available in a three pack).

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life??? I have to admit, I saw them on TikTok. I LOVE THEM!!!! I have very thick hair, and these hold my hair. I love that I can wear them in the car and not have to worry about the clip preventing my head from the headrest. The colors are great, and they are comfortable — I even slept with one when I forgot to take it out. The size is good, and there is no hair pull. I will be buying more and also gifting them. They are great! They hold my hair with a good grip." —Tracey L .

Get it from Amazon for $8.45+ (available in 17 color combinations).

Promising review: "This Kitsch French hairpin is both beautiful and functional. The gold finish is sleek and adds a touch of elegance, whether I'm dressing up or going casual. It holds my thick hair in place all day without slipping and is much more comfortable than hair ties. Great for buns, twists, or quick updos. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Definitely a staple in my hair routine now!" —J. Lee Hall

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors and in two packs). 

Promising review: "My hair grows somewhat fast so I find myself coloring my roots at minimum every two weeks, which I think is bad for my hair. This product has been a lifesaver in allowing me to extend that time frame some. I wish I had found it sooner!" —Mmandkcs

Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 12 colors).

Although, gray hair is honestly pretty fierce, so feel free to let those silvery strands shine!

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." —Amazon Customer

"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." —Catie B.

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

Promising review (for the left pic): "I was trying to find a pre-braid product that would keep my braids from looking 'fuzzy' after an hour or two, and this is it!!!! Super easy to use, you just finger-comb it through your hair. Next time I might not focus so much on my roots like the instructions tell you to do because it made my hair look a little greasy. But THESE BRAIDS!! This is after 6 hours at work with a stethoscope coming on and off my neck and my hair brushing against me...Braids are locked in! I wish there was a little more product for the money... for someone with super long hair, I felt like I needed to use a lot of product to get the right texture before braiding." —Katie Binversie

Promising review (for the right pic): "Gives great grip to hair for braids. Makes it stay for a few days, which is fantastic." —ErinTank

Promising review: "I have been using this packet of hair ties for 2.5 years now! I have thick hair and so I wear one of these on my wrist all the time so I am always ready to put my hair up. In the time since I purchased this pack I have only used 2 hair ties! They last forever! They start out tight around my wrist, but over the course of a couple of weeks they loosen up. They will hold my hair tight all day long. I started out using Telaties and I love that product, but it was a little bit expensive. I decided to give these a try. They are a little bit fatter than Telaties, but it’s not that much different. I like the colors because they match my hair. The picture shows a new one in the package versus one I’ve had on my wrist for several months." —Urban Pepper

Get it from Hill House Home for $16. And check out the rest of the charming collab. 

Promising review: "Once you use this, you'll never go back. I’ve been searching for a product to use in my hair that will help with the frizz, but was starting to lose hope. Most products take away the frizz for about 10 minutes and then you’re back to being a lioness. However, I am in love with this hair product. It lasts all day, and not only does it take away the frizz and give you shine, but it also makes the waves/curls in my hair more prominent. I just love it!" —Abigail C. 

Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in larger sizes and multipacks).  

Promising review (for pic on the left): "LOVE this product sooooo much! I’m obsessed! I am of mixed race and have very curly frizzy hair naturally. Even with relaxer my hair has always had dry looking frizzy ends. I have tried so many different products but nothing else compares. Best by far!" —Amazon Customer

"Honestly, wow! This spray leaves my hair so soft and with a salon-like shine. The best part is that even with humidity, my hair doesn't puff up at all. It activates with the heat from the blow dryer and the effect actually lasts for a few days, even after washing. Totally worth every penny!" —Shatasha

Get it from Amazon for $28 (sulfate-, gluten-, alcohol-, and paraben-free; also available in a curly formula).

Promising review: "I’m not one to write reviews, but for this diffuser I had to. Absolutely hands down the best diffuser for curly hair I’ve ever used. Leaves my curls bouncy and fresh all day. My curls have never looked so good." —James G.

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

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 of coverage. The smell is not as pungent as other products I have tried, this product is thick, you must use edge control brush." —ms. jackson

Get it from Amazon from $6 (available in five sizes).

Promising review: "This is honestly the best product for nasty Florida humidity!! It’s pricey for some hair spray, but 100% worth it. I have very thin hair that likes to curl the second I step outside. With this spray, my hair stays straight all day long!" —K.Lou

Ponyflo is a small biz specializing in ponytail-friendly hats. 

Promising review: "There is nothing I don’t like about this hat!! My hair is thick and puffy, and I wear this hat around my ponytail!!! Looks like a normal hat, and I love the silk liner!!! I would say absolutely buy one! Gonna buy a few more colors!!" —Ericka

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "Out of all the pomade brands I’ve tried, this is by far the best. It holds up well for whole-day use. I’m usually out for 12 hours, and it keeps up. It washes out really well, too. I’ve been using this for 5 years, and it has held up consistently." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I never carry an umbrella cause they’re too bulky, so when I saw the Hairbrella I was so excited. It keeps my hair dry and my curls nicely quaffed, rather than me looking like I stuck my fingers I a light socket. I’m telling everyone I know about it, it’s an amazing alternative to those wide-brimmed hats or a briefcase LOL! Truly it’s never going Read more about review stating Love it!!to leave my side from now on! I definitely recommend it." —Gina C.

Get it from Amazon for $49+ or Hairbrella for $39.99+ (available in five colors).

I'm a huge fan of the Beachwaver rotating curling iron and it's my deserted-island beauty product. (Said island better have working outlets!) I have naturally thick curly hair but I wash it 2x a week and typically blow it out, then touch up each day with my Beachwaver. So I put my hair through a lot of heat styling. I've tried what feels like every long-hold hairspray on the planet and none of the others have held a candle to this one. If you want your style to STAY, I think this stuff is top-tier. And it smells lovely!
