Can anyone recommend a really good product to protect hair from blow-drying? Something that will not feel waxy or heavy but will help straighten and leave hair soft and silky?
I hesitated to post that due to the price, but it lasts a long time. Both my daugther and I use it and it lasts us a year or more. We both have mid back length, thick hair.
Also, with all the other products I was wasting money on, I think this actually saves me money
Depending on the desired look, what I will do is carefully brush it out and put it up in a bun with some pins, it takes on a soft wave (be sure to set the front how you like it.) and it drys naturally without the the heat. This won't work if its below freezing, the water just will freeze on your head.
Does this work well on frizzy, curly, mixed hair? Its fine, but thick, if that makes sense?
The strands are thin, but there's a lot of it.
My sister is in FL, and although she says she has given up on straightening it/blow drying it, maybe this would help her. She says with FL humidity her hair is frizzy again later that day,or sometimes as soon as she goes outside.
I used to let my hair air-dry, even though it is long-ish, because it hates to be blow-dried. It's my new hair cut that is giving me fits. It's layered in back now, and it sticks up/out everywhere if I don't blow it before straightening. My hair is fine, but there is tons of it. When it was one length I only had to deal with a little smoothing on the ends. I wanted layers to take out some of the volume. But after the first wash, I remembered what I hated about layers--just enough wave to make things hard to deal with. Sigh, are we ever happy with our hair?
I don't have time or money to get a hair product before next month. But I did put some coconut oil on it before my HiiT workout yesterday, and that helped a lot.
It is great that you don't have to blow dry. What I did tonight is wash it, wait for it to be almost dry, style it with the blowdryer, and I put some Biosilk on my hair.
