Air dry hair products are hair styling products formulated to enhance the natural drying process of hair, leaving it with a defined, frizz-free finish. Some examples of these products include leave-in conditioners, curl creams, and mousse, which provide varying levels of hold and hydration.
Air dry hair products are particularly beneficial when trying to achieve a low-maintenance hair routine and to minimize heat damage. Since the 1980s, the air dry hair trend has made a resurgence due to an increased focus on natural beauty and the shift towards more effortless and eco-conscious styling practices.
