This handy hair styling product is a must for the hot weather, taming frizz and flyaways without the need for heated tools like hair dryers and curling tongs
When the weather’s hot, like the current heatwave we’re experiencing, blow drying, straightening or tonging your hair is probably the last thing you feel like doing, but leaving it to air dry can end up in a frizzy (or flat) mess. Luckily, we’ve found a product that controls frizz and flyaways without the need for heat, leaving your hair looking its natural best.
Living Proof Style Lab Air-Dry Styler, £27, is a lightweight cream designed to be smoothed through damp hair. Its magic ingredients are an algae-based polymer and bentonite clay, which work to smooth, define and enhance your hair’s natural texture as it air-dries without any crunchiness, allowing you to skip the hair dryer; ideal for holidays or heatwaves.

Air-Dry Styler is proving popular with shoppers with all different hair types – from curly to straight – with many saying how it saves them time on drying their hair, and how soft it makes hair feel.
“I have gone through dozens of curly hair products and feel like I’ve finally found the one!” one Lookfantastic customer wrote. “So easy to use, just apply it after the shower and watch the magic happen as your hair dries flawlessly. 10/10 unreal!”
“I absolutely love this product – I don’t have to waste time drying my hair and it leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy!” another agreed.
While many of the users love this Living Proof product on their curly hair, it also works well on straight hair, as one person wrote: “This is perfect for my hair, which is naturally straight but get quite frizzy when I leave it to air dry. This treatment leaves my hair so silky and smooth, I don’t need to do any further styling to it once its dry!”
One customer, however, was “on the fence” about this, writing that “I’m not 100% on this. It kind of makes my hair feel dry and in need of a wash. It does stop frizz and dries very quickly. It might just be my hair type which is fine and quite thin.”
If this sounds like your hair type too and you’re worried about your strands looking greasy or limp, you might want to skip the styling products altogether, and instead get as much water out of your hair first by using an extra-absorbent towel such as this Noughty Hair Towel, currently £9.79, then twisting and tying it up out of the way. Cute claw clips like these ones are hugely popular right now, and you can’t go wrong with an oversized scrunchie.
