Once summer arrives in all its hot and humid glory, certain beauty products are better left untouched. And while we understand that our Vampira-esque lip stain and moody oxblood nail color are best reserved for the drearier months of the year, we have an embarrassingly difficult time severing ties with our blow-dryer and embracing our hair's natural texture come temperature spikes and summer nights. While it sounds appealing in theory to forgo heat styling from May through August, we're still hopelessly devoted to our hot tools.

However, thanks to an onslaught of new air-dry friendly hair products that place tousled, model-off-duty texture on a record-high pedestal, we're finally feeling the urge to cave. The latest creams and sprays deliver shiny, voluminous results that might even rival the polish and hold of our weekly blowout (cue resounding gasp). Following the cool-girl example of celebrity air-dry queens (e.g., the Olsens), there's no better time than summer to give dehydrated strands a much-needed reprieve from the scorching air stream of your blow-dryer. Whether your hair is thin and straight or thick and curly, we've rounded up the must-have air-dry hair products that will take the heat and fuss out of your daily routine.
