In today’s busy modern world, finding the time to blow-dry your hair is often impossible. And, even if you do have time, the mere thought of blasting your hair with damaging heat just isn’t for everyone!
But many people assume that heat is the only method of achieving shiny, sleek hair – something air drying just can’t do.
Or is it?
The fact is, air-drying your hair can produce sleek, healthy-looking results. You just need to know the right technique for your hair type.

Why is Hair Type So Important?
It’s no secret that we all have different types of hair. Yet, when we air dry, we all tend to use the exact same methods and wonder why our hair has turned out frizzy, coarse and unmanageable.
Taking your hair type into account is crucial to make sure you use the perfect air dry technique for you. Here are some specific air drying tips for different hair types you can use to achieve sleek hair the natural way!
Curly/Wavy
This is typically the most frizz-prone hair type. If your hair is thin and curly, avoid combing it when it’s wet and simply scrunch a smoothing hair oil into your hair. This will make your curls/waves defined and sleek – just don’t run your hands through it!
For thicker hair, use the exact same technique but make sure to wash it with an intensely moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
Straight
Whilst considered the most forgiving type of hair to air-dry, naturally straight hair can still turn out frizzy if you’re not careful.
The most common mistake people make is using too many products that thin, straight hair simply can’t absorb. If your hair is super thin, opt for a texturizing spray instead of a heavy mousse. If thick, apply a small amount of mousse and add smoothing cream into the ends to counteract frizz.
And there you have it – the right way to air dry hair and avoid frizz for good!
