  1. Small dryer, big claims: 68 days with the Vireo AirDry

    It is half the size of a salon dryer and says it is just as fast. We timed 31 blow-dries and measured the noise to find out.

    Tools & Devices

    7.667 days

  2. The mineral SPF we kept reaching for after 90 days

    Most mineral sunscreens leave a cast, pill under makeup, or both. Mossfield Daily Mineral SPF 50 manages neither, with one real catch.

    Skincare

    8.890 days

  3. Bond repair mask, eleven weeks in: softer, not transformed

    Tarn & Co. sells its mask as a rebuild for bleached hair. After 22 uses it is a very good conditioner with a very big claim attached.

    Hair

    7.178 days

  4. A clarifying shampoo that is honest about what it does

    Okuma Scalp Reset strips buildup in one wash and says plainly that you should not use it every day. We tested it against hard water for ten weeks.
