Pai Shau is known for its lineup of super-hydrating, tea-infused products, so it's an absolute savior for parched hair. Whether you've hit the blow dryer and curling iron too many times recently, have colored or processed hair, or simply need a pick me up, this hard-working leave-in product can be applied to towel-dried hair to smooth and detangle, nix frizz, amp up luminosity, seriously hydrate, and protect from pollutants.
You'll definitely notice a difference in the quality of your air-dried hair after using this innovative formulation: Think of it like a quasi-leave-in product. While still in the shower, you apply it to freshly washed and conditioned hair and then very lightly rinse so that some of the product remains. It seals the cuticle, enhances volume, and makes your hair ridiculously shiny and soft.
If you've got wavy or curly hair then this styling foam from John Frieda could work beautifully for you. It's specifically intended for air drying curly and wavy hair and as such, it helps to define curls, reduce frizz, and make hair soft to the touch. It essentially works to reconstruct the lipid structure of your hair so it's healthier — and therefore easier to manage.
Bumble and Bumble's Bb. Don't Blow It products come in a couple different formulations — one for fine hair and one for thick hair. Both work hard to condition, hydrate, and enhance texture, bounce, and shine. The product intended for thin hair is lighter which means hair won't be weighed down or get greasy, while the product intended for thick hair is slightly richer and provides more hold.

What's not to love about Kristin Ess' super affordable, super accessible lineup of hair care products? Her take on an air-drying cream helps to seal and smooth, hydrate, and boost shine for all hair types. It's meant to be applied about halfway through the air-dry process — or, just when your natural texture is starting to peek through, for a more polished (but still carefree) air-dried look.
