16 Air-Dry Hair Products That Are a Lazy Girl's Dream

Because it's time to kick that blowout habit
Air-drying your hair is supposed to make your life easier, no? However, if the hair gods have blessed you with a less-than-thick head of hair, balancing hydration and body -- while also taming frizz -- can feel borderline impossible. That's where this pretty turquoise tube comes in. Boasting a texturizing blend of lightweight polymers and plant-based conditioners, this one-of-a-kind styling cream encourages natural bounce and body.

Pro-tip: Try not to touch! The trick to air-drying your hair is keeping your hands far, far away. The more you fuss with your strands, the more likely you are to encourage frizz and grease.
