57 Products That Might Seem Too Good To Be True But Actually Aren’t

Promising review: “Excellent brush. I bought it because my shoulder was hurt and I couldn’t use the regular hair dryer because I had to use both hands. The best purchase I’ve ever made.” —Luz Erika

Promising review: “I never write product reviews, but this brush is amazing! I have curly/wavy hair that is past my shoulders, but very fine. If I don’t blow dry and straighten it right away it gets very curly and frizzy and has always been a pain to blow-dry and flat iron. I have never been very good at blow-drying with a round brush and have always relied on the flat iron to get my hair smooth after drying. With this brush, I can let my hair air dry for a bit, and then use this, and I don’t need to use the flat iron at all. My hair looks so full and bouncy that several people have asked me if I just got my hair done. Honestly, with this brush, it looks better than when my hairdresser blow dries! It is so easy to use and takes way less time to do than blow drying. I haven’t tried from wet wet, but today I only let it dry a bit and then used the brush and it was still fast. My only complaint is that the handle is a little big and hard to hold on to, but that is fairly minor. Also, I was worried about it getting tangled in my hair, but so far I have been able to wrap my hair around the brush and not have any issues getting the brush out. I love it!” —Bostonchick

Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in three colors).

While some reviewers with curl types 4a–c like the oval brush, if you’re looking for something to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step *paddle* brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind! You can get it from Amazon for $44.99. Reviewers also say it’s the best thing they’ve ever bought.
