Long Hair Towel

 

Quick-Absorbing Microfiber

 

The average bath towel isn’t doing us any favors. As soon as you step out of the shower, wring out any excess water from your hair using a Aquis Waffle Luxe Hair Towel. The lightweight, aquitex fabric prevents harsh damage to your hair, minimizing frizz and split ends.

Microfiber towels don’t create friction on the hair like regular towels. The super-absorbent fabric efficiently dries hair gently and is ideal for those with thicker hair.

Shake It Out

 

After towel drying your hair to get out any excess moisture, gently shake your head back and forth for a few minutes to help speed up the drying of your hair.

Flip your hair upside down and give it a good shake with your towel focusing on the scalp and the doing the rest of your hair. It’s a common thing hair stylists do when you go to the beauty salon.

This single step can cut down major chunk of your hair drying time. It’s my favorite hair hack and you’ll notice that your hair has dried significantly.

Leave-In Treatment

 

Leave-In Conditioner

 

Believe it or not, your leave in conditioner can help kick up the drying time of your strands. Most products are filled with alcohol and silicones that coat each strand and seal in any moisture. 

With any hair type, be it straight or natural, the Reverie Milk Anti-Frizz Leave-In Nourishing Treatment will tame frizz and fly-aways caused by air drying. The lightweight formula also protects and adds a beautiful shine to each strand.

This tip should be avoided for women with fine hair and is more useful for thick hair.

 

Here are a few tips on how to make your blowout last for days!

Wet Brush

 

Wet Brush

 

While most of us are accustomed to using a round brush to blow dry our hair, using the correct brush will dry your hair faster and detangle it without breakage. After you’ve applied your leave-in conditioner, a specially-designed brush will detangle wet hair and distribute moisture effectively.

The Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash Detangling Hairbrush will help dry your hair for pain-free detangling. The comb bends and flexes through the hair to avoid any damage. Hair should be 50% dry when combed through to get rid of any knots and frizz.

RollersTexturizing Mist

 

Pump Up the Volume

 

Hair looking a little limp? One of the downsides to air drying your hair is the lack of volume and lift to your roots.

Once you’ve combed your hair and it’s nearly fully air dried, pop in some Velcro rollers and leave them in for 30 minutes. If you’re not short on time, this is a fantastic way to keep your hair looking healthy without heat damage plus, they don’t weigh anything.

Drybar High Tops Self-Grip Rollers can be used on the crown area of your hair for a mega lift. For a beachy-wavy look, apply sea salt spray near the ends after you’ve taken out your rollers. Twist each section and spray Lavett & Chin Sea Salt Texturizing Mist lightly and then scrunch it.
