Having a pre-style treatment can be the key to this trendy hairdo – try Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother ($29). It creates a smooth surface on hair to make styling easier, and it defends against humidity for up to 12 hours. It is 92% naturally derived and is formulated with a blend derived from organic aloe, maize, and guar bean, which helps create a smooth surface on hair.

Bumble and Bumble’s Don’t Blow It ($44) is a no-fuss hair cream for easy, air-dried styles. It goes on easily and helps your ‘do stay put for hours. Lightweight polymers enhance hair’s natural texture, adding bounce and airiness with zero crunch, while UV filters help protect your locks against the drying effects of the sun. But the best part of this hair cream is its product-free feel.

Keep hair healthy while achieving the trendy wet look with this Lightweight Leave-in Conditioner Weightless Air Dry Cream from Curlsmith ($16). Its lightweight silky texture makes it suitable on finer hair, but it is also enriched with moisturising ingredients like castor oil, babassu, jojoba, and murumuru butter that provide enough nourishment for coarser hair types. The cream has been designed to absorb into the hair without leaving residues in order to minimise product build-up on your scalp.

The OUAI Hair Gloss In-Shower Shine Treatment ($46) is an in-shower hair gloss with hyaluronic acid and rice water to boost shine, protect colour, reduce frizz, and take hair strength up a notch, making it ideal for a super sleek, chic look. After shampooing, you can separate your hair into sections and apply a pea-size amount from mid-lengths to ends and use it with or without conditioner. And FYI: it delivers the best results with heat.

L’Oreal Professionnel’s Extreme Splash ($25) is specifically designed to add unbelievably intense shine to hair. Its formula is super malleable so you can create perfect wet looks every time you style it. This product also provides incredible radiance to hair and washes out well too, plus it never leaves an oily or sticky residue.

Amika’s velveteen dream ($42) is a smoothing balm that helps to tame frizz into submission and lock in soft smoothness. Even humidity won’t undo what you’ve done to your ‘do. The formula contains conditioning polymer to smooth, moisturize, and provide antistatic properties, while wild cherry bark extract brings out shine and softness. It’s suitable for all hair types and, the best part is, it smells incredible!
