More and more products are keeping us busy in the shower -- and we couldn't be happier. After all, it's kind of the perfect place to multi-task, and who doesn't want to walk out of the shower feeling prettier than when they walked in? By reducing extra product, (but locking in the good stuff) this in-shower air-dry hair product essentially styles your hair as you rinse. Then, as hair dries, your strands contract, thicken and separate for a soft and shiny finish that's sinfully effortless.
If you've tried ditching your styling tools before (only to go running back to them with arms wide open a few days later), you're so not alone. The trick to nailing the trend? Finding a product that zeroes in on your hair type. Specifically formulated for fine hair, Redken's ground-breaking formula boasts quick-dry, fiber-forming polymers that encourage control, movement and a record-time transition from shower to Starbucks.
Best for: Fine hair (although the brand also sells versions for medium and coarse hair) Hold: Medium to strong
Air-drying your hair is supposed to make your life easier, no? However, if the hair gods have blessed you with a less-than-thick head of hair, balancing hydration and body -- while also taming frizz -- can feel borderline impossible. That's where this pretty turquoise tube comes in. Boasting a texturizing blend of lightweight polymers and plant-based conditioners, this one-of-a-kind styling cream encourages natural bounce and body.
Pro-tip: Try not to touch! The trick to air-drying your hair is keeping your hands far, far away. The more you fuss with your strands, the more likely you are to encourage frizz and grease.
If your hair already has some natural wave, applying two to three pumps of this feather-light foam delivers crave-worthy body and hold that truly lasts all day. Infused with a strengthening amino acid complex, the must-have formula also repairs hair, revitalizing lackluster strands with shine-inducing nutrients.
Best for: Wavy and curly hair Hold: Medium to strong
