Sometimes you just want to buy something for the promises on the label- and when there is a promise of nicer hair, sometimes that's hard to pass up. Of the large number of mostly-useless hair thingies I've gotten, here are the ones that were the most useful, and cheapest, that I still use all the time.
A quick note- these are just my personal picks. Other people have other preferences, and I'm not making any money off these. I'm painfully cheap but when I think something is worth the money, I like letting people know about it.
1. Silk Pillowcases. On top of being good for your hair, they're good for your skin. I noticed that the breakage at my temples went away after I used them, and whenever I use cotton pillowcases again, it comes back. The best value for the dollar for these are at Dharma Trading Company.
2. Bone Comb from Heavenly Harvest. It really is worth it, they're around $12 or so, and the difference it makes is really quite astonishing. I need to get six or seven more, right now my bone comb lives in my purse. I cannot live without it, and I've spent waaaay more than this amount on either cheap combs that broke (I was going through one a month), or expensive combs that weren't as nice.
3. Shower faucet with filter- my hair is so much happier when I use a shower faucet with an in-line charcoal filter. I live in an area with moderately hard water and a lot of chlorine in the water. My hair and skin are much happier. Not sure what they cost as mine was a gift, but from what I've seen it do for my hair and skin I'd gladly pay for it.
4. High quality, expensive little scissors for getting split ends. I have these EVERYWHERE-purse, car, bedroom, by the computer, bathroom... when you see a split it's good to take care of it right there.
5. Pantyhose hair elastics. Only ones I can use on my fine hair without breakage.
6. Flexi-8's. I love my hair sticks, and frankly wasn't sure about getting some, but my flexis are now also in my car, in my purse, and stashed places in case I need one RIGHT THEN. I seriously cannot live without them anymore.
Disappointments included microfiber hair turbans (I can't get all my hair in them), any hair toy by Scunchi (yet I keep buying them- why? WHY?), and side-of-head-hair-combs to control my flyaways (pretty but don't work for what was intended).
