5 Top Products For Air-Drying Hair

Sometimes it’s just easier (and better for our overall hair health) to just let ‘er be and let our hair dry au naturel. No blow drying, and no heat and impending dryness or frizz—it can be nice to allow good old regular air help our locks dry on their own. There are certain products that can help keep air-dried hair at bay and looking gorgeous all on its own – here are five that can help the process. —Jennifer Cox

Odele’s Air Dry Styler ($12) is an easy-on, salon-grade styler that lightly conditiones and smooths frizz, plus it adds shine and texture too. Skip the blow dryer and embrace your natural side.

What we love: It creates soft separation for that artfully rumpled, never messy look.

The Weightless Air Dry Cream from Curlsmith ($16) is a lightweight leave-in conditioner that not only enhances curl texture but also hydrates the hair too. And it never weighs it down, which is a huge perk.

What we love: It’s ideal for those with curly locks, which can be hard to tame when drying naturally.

The JVN Complete Hydrating Air Dry Hair Styling Cream ($35, available at Sephora Canada) is a frizz-fighting soft styling cream for buildable, touchable hold. It’s formulated with squalane and hemi-squalane to improve hair health and strength, and chia seed extract for touchable hold.

What we love: It really lets your natural texture shine through.

For salon-quality hair cream and a gorgeously natural look without frizz or flyaways, there’s TRESemmé Air Dry Smoothing Cream ($7, avialble at Walmart Canada). This lightweight control cream is perfect for days when you want to skip the blow dry but still want that smooth effect. 

What we love: This cream is gentle enough to use daily, so you never have to blowdry hair again.

Bumble and bumble’s Don’t Blow It ($44) is a rich creme that conditions, de-frizzes, and adds control to air-dried hair. Thanks to UV filters, it protects hair from the damaging effects of the sun, and it adds hydration to luscious locks (which is especially needed in winter).

What we love: This polished look will last all day.
