How to Air-dry Your Hair Without the Frizz
January 09, 2023Are you always in a rush and don’t have time to blow-dry your hair? Or do you want your locks to take a break from any heating tools but find yourself faced with frizz?
While your natural hair texture and hair type have a lot to do with how your hair dries, we have some tips for you on how to air-dry your hair with minimal to no frizz and get smoother, shinier hair without using any heating tools.
Use a smoothing shampoo & conditioner
Cleanse and condition your hair with smoothing hair care products to help soften your locks.
| | The Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Frizz Away Babassu Oil Shampoo 250ml (P1,315) tames hair with Babassu Oil that improves manageability of hair for long-lasting smoothness. |
| | The AVEDA Smooth Infusion™ Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner Duo (P4,300) keeps your hair smoother and sleeker with its vegan formula of plant polymer shield and botanical smoothing oil blend. |
Use a rinse-off hair mask
To add more moisture and hydration to your hair, apply a rinse-off hair mask onto your damp hair once or twice a week, in place of your regular hair conditioner.
| | A fast smoothing hair mask, the Davines LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask: Lovely Smoothing Mask for Coarse or Frizzy Hair (P1,750) provides immediate frizz-fighting action and ensures smooth & sleek hair within just 30 seconds. |
| | The L'Oréal Serie Expert ProKeratin Liss Unlimited Masque 250ml (P1,350) nourishes hair with Pro-Keratin and Kukui & Evening Primrose Oil to enhance shine and effectively block humidity which is a major cause of frizzy hair. |
Change your hair drying routine
Be gentle when drying your hair, and avoid going overboard with towel-drying. This tends to take away moisture from your locks. Instead, try switching to a microfiber towel or a hair towel wrap. This is gentler and won’t absorb water from your hair as much as an ordinary cotton towel does. Dab your locks with the towel and lightly squeeze until your hair is not dripping wet, but make sure to retain some moisture on your locks to keep them hydrated.

Use a paddle brush
A multi-layered bristle brush with ballpoint tips gently massages your scalp and helps in detangling your strands. Plus, it caters to any hair type and texture -- from straight and fine hair to curly and dry hair.
| | The AVEDA x 3.1 Phillip Lim Limited-Edition Wooden Paddle Brush (P2,900) features extended bristles for easy and stress-free detangling ideal for blow-drying and styling. |
Use hair oils and serums
Last step is to moisturize your strands and seal your hair cuticles, especially when the weather gets humid.
| | A leave-in care for all-day sleek hair, the Kérastase Discipline Oléo Relax Hair Oil 100ml (P2,250) controls frizz and seals in moisture into the fiber. |
| | Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothening Oil 100ml (P1,260) enriches hair with macadamia seed and avocado oils to create a lightweight yet glossy & shiny effect. |
