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