So much of life is hard on the hair — styling with hot tools, color treatments, even dry heat warming your home in winter. If your hair is feeling dry and damaged, the first step, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, is to give it a rest from the usual stressors.
The next step is to restore that lost moisture. For this, there's L’Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Rinse, a cult favorite with more than 31,000 five-star fans on Amazon.
This multi-use hair tool comes with three brush heads and a blow dryer attachment to suit all hair types, whether you want to smooth and straighten or add curl and waves. Save 70%!
Finding a bra that's comfortable, supportive, offers full coverage and doesn't look like it was made during colonial times is a pretty impressive feat — but we think we've done it. This Playtex wireless bra has tens of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to its cooling, moisture-wicking fabric, four-way wireless support (no painful digging!), Magic Ring construction for a natural lift and smoothing satin panels on the sides and back. With 14 lovely colors to choose from, it's a really pretty undergarment too! A good bra is a worthy investment, and $17 — 56% off — is practically unheard of these days (we've seen it priced for over $20 before, and honestly, that's still a good deal.)
"This bra says 18 hours and completely lives up to that promise," raved a happy fan. "It fits perfectly when you measure for the proper fit; it is soft, not scratchy, and does not cut into my shoulders to provide support for my large chest. I am absolutely getting more!"
Puffiness, bags and dark circles are no match for these No. 1 bestselling, vitamin-infused under-eye masks. All you do is place one under each eye, leave them on for 20 minutes, remove and admire your firmer, brighter-looking skin! No one needs to know you were up scrolling through Instagram instead of getting your eight hours of sleep. This is one of the best prices we've ever seen for this pack — just 50 cents per pair!
"These are by far the best eye patches I've used," raved a bright-eyed reviewer. "I'm 64 years old and, due to multiple major life stressors over the last three years, have gone from looking 20 years younger than my age to looking every minute of my years. I've tried everything and have spent a small fortune trying to look less haggard and puffy. These patches are amazing. The box says you'll see a difference in a few days, and I really did. No wrinkles under my eyes, and it lasts through the workday rather than the 10 minutes I've seen with some other patches. Put them in the fridge; they feel extra good!"
Keep your feet nice and toasty with these No. 1 bestselling wool socks, which come in the cutest colors and prints. They're soft and warm, yet breathable, and at over 50% off, they'd make perfect stocking stuffers (though you should definitely get a pack for yourself, too!).
If you have trouble winding down before bed, perhaps this No. 1 bestselling spritz can help you relax. It contains that renowned snooze enhancer, melatonin, as well as lavender and chamomile essential oils to bring a sense of calm to your bedroom. Spray it on your pillows, around the room or even in the shower. Heck, spray some on yourself — it'll make you smell lovely! This pack comes with three bottles — on sale for $6 each — so keep two for yourself and give one as a stocking stuffer.
"I absolutely love this product!" squealed a blissful slumberer. "A light lavender scent to lull me into a great sleep. A couple of sprays and I drifted off to sleep without tossing and turning! Was meaning to only take a one-hour power nap, but it turned out to be a three-hour nap! I’m not complaining about it ... I know I will sleep good tonight! The three-bottle pack will last me quite a long time. I may just order another pack to give as gifts."
Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan of Ugg's more affordable line, and these faux fur-lined slippers are the cheapest we've seen them in years. They would make the coziest house shoes!
The Amazon community has gone wild for this hair rinse. Use it one to three times a week, and watch what happens to your locks.
If you have sensitive gums, reviewers say this is the whitening system for you.
L'Oreal Paris Elvive Wonder Water Rinse is not a mask, an oil or a leave-in cream — it's simply a rinse. After shampooing and rinsing hair with water, you apply this product, leave it in for just eight seconds, then rinse again. (You can follow it up with your regular conditioner if needed, but chances are your hair will feel soft enough that you won't need to.)
According to the brand, Wonder Water Rinse uses something called lamellar technology, a liquid hair treatment that spreads through hair quickly and evenly, depositing moisturizing agents and an amino acid. It doesn't over-condition and make hair feel greasy or heavy. L'Oreal recommends using the rinse one to three times per week for best results.
You can snag this Wonder Water Rinse on Amazon for less than $10. Remarkably, it's still in stock. L'Oreal reports that a bottle of Wonder Water Rinse is sold every minute. Do the math, and that comes to at least 1,440 bottles sold per day!
I love how a hair mask makes my hair feel, but I don't like that I have to let it sit for 10 minutes. Most days, I just don't have the time! But 8 seconds? That's something I can get behind.
After using my regular shampoo, I applied a little less than the suggested dose into my hair. The back of the bottle has level markers that suggest a certain amount — 20ml — which actually was quite a lot for my shoulder-length hair; I was able to coat all my strands with less. The bottle contains up to seven treatments, so I figured using a little less could meant getting a couple of extra uses.
I left it on for eight seconds, then rinsed, and I skipped my conditioner. I'm happy to report it worked like a dream! I was able to comb my hair easily right after getting out of the shower, and after blow drying, I could really feel the difference in my hair. It felt smoother and looked shinier, and overall healthier. I get my hair highlighted every three months. I used the rinse a few weeks after my last hair appointment. It didn't damage or dull my color at all.
Since first trying it, I've used Wonder Water Rinse more than 10 times. I'm now on my second bottle! I use it once a week, or whenever my hair feels especially brittle and dry (more often now that it's winter).
"This is a magical potion!" writes one impressed shopper in the Amazon reviews. "I don't know what is in this, but it works. I have thin, fine, color-treated hair, and this smooths it out after washing like you wouldn't believe. It feels almost warm as I apply it, then lather it up, count to 10, and rinse it out. The markers on the side of the bottle to tell you how much to use are very helpful, and the scent is faint but pleasant. This is the only product from Amazon I have on subscribe and save, because I know I will always be using it."
Says another happy customer: "I can really tell the difference in my hair after using this product.... Always thought I had to look for the fancier products, but this product taught me a lesson. It works wonderfully on my long hair."
"This really adds softness and shine to my baby fine hair. I am older and also have thinning hair and this is strengthening my hair as well. Doesn’t weigh hair down and I love that it heats up. Definitely recommend.
"I liked the product itself. It definitely made my hair less tangled and shiny. It also had a pleasant scent and was easy to use," writes a four-star reviewer. "However, I will say it does not last long...especially for my long hair.... You only get about 5 treatments [per bottle] if you need to use more."
All that said, if you have damaged hair or you just think your strands need a conditioning boost, it's worth trying. For really damaged hair, check out the entire line of L'Oreal Paris Elvive products.
