Heat-styling is bad news for hair, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop doing it. The speed and way hot-tools makes our hair look are two major reasons not to end the long-term relationships we have with our blow-dryers, flat-irons, and curling-irons. But, with sweaty summer days quickly coming up on us, there’s only so much heat we can physically take.
If you panic at the thought of breaking up with your blow-dryer, there’s nothing to be scared of if you use the right air-dry products to make every day this summer a good one for your hair. To help make the separation easier, we’ve rounded up the best air-dry products to use for every hair type.
