These quick dry sprays will cut your blow-dry time in half

Spritz smarter.

To nail a glossy, bouncy, Kate Middleton-worthy blow-dry, you need two things: a good hair dryer and a sh*t load of patience.

Because let's be honest, unless you have fine hair, it can take a solid twenty to thirty minutes to get your mop bone dry. And frankly, we'd rather be squeezing in an extra episode of You on Netflix rather than holding our arms up for that long.

But God bless science, because there is such a thing as quick dry sprays. These sprays typically contain an AHA or lactic acid, to coat the hair cuticle for faster evaporation and increased airflow, resulting in faster dry times.

So give your arms are break from the heavy lifting and try adding one of these sprays into your wash and dry routine instead...

    Speed of Light Blow Dry Accelerator Spray, £21,
    This spray literally halves your blow dry time, speeding it up by 50 per cent. If you experience knots it also works as an excellent detangler and adds extra protection against breakage.

    Thermashape Quick Blow Dry, £15,
    Shake this bad boy before spritzing to release its styling power. Providing hold and body without a crunchy residue, it will increase your drying speed, without decreasing your bounce.

    L'Incroyable Blowdry, £22.90,
    If you want both speed and frizz-control, this will be your BFF. You'll get smoother than a 90s Brad Pitt results on your first try. Trust us.

    Style Lab Blowout, £23,
    This spray is ideal for those with fine to medium hair and adds a super glossy finish. It can be used on both freshly washed damp hair or for second-day styling on dry hair.

    Express Blow Dry Spray, £5.99,
    If you like to switch between air drying and blow-drying, this spray works for both, accelerating dry time by evaporating water and leaving a polished finish. So yeah, you can tell your frizz to get f*cked.

    Dream Coat, £24,
    While Color Wow does have a pretty great spray specifically for accelerating your blow-dry time, we just can’t part with our beloved Dream Coat. It not only quickens your dry time, but it creates the smoothest, glossiest hair of your life (particularly if you like to blow-dry your hair straight). PLUS, it leaves a magical hold on your hair that’s humidity proof. Rain will never ruin your hard work again.

    Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer Spray, £18.50,
    This is a heat protection spray on steroids. It not only reduces your dry time, but helps reduce breakage by providing a 230 degrees heat shield. Because nobody has time for frizz or fried hair.
