We can all agree the last thing anyone wants to be doing in this heatwave is blasting hot air at their head in an attempt to blowdry their hair. Even when there's not a heatwave, drying our hair is a tedious task that often takes up far too much time, especially if you're blessed with thick hair. So, anything that promises to speed up the process is gratefully received.
In an ideal world, we would all find hours in our days to dedicate to the perfect DIY blow dry. We would prep our hair with serums and sprays, and use a whole rang e of brushes, all of different shapes and sizes, to achieve a glossy, bouncy, Kate Middleton-worthy blow-dry. But, frankly, even if we did have the spare time, we'd much rather be squeezing in an extra episode of Sex Education on Netflix or else enjoying a few extra minutes in bed every morning than holding our arms up for hours on end trying to dry out our hair.
Luckily, there is such a thing as quick dry hair prepping sprays that have the ability to dramatically reduce drying time. These sprays typically contain an AHA or lactic acid, to coat the hair cuticle for faster evaporation and increased airflow, and therefore, faster drying. Simply spritz onto lengths and ends when hair is towel-dry and start blasting your hairdryer to enjoy the benefits.
So give your arms are break from the heavy lifting and try adding one of these blow dry accelerating sprays into your wash and dry routine...
