We’ve all been there: in a hurry getting ready and your hair is still wet. You don’t have time to wait for it to dry or you simply don’t want to use a hairdryer to style your hair. Because it dries it out too much. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look great.

Here are some tricks on how to dry hair fast without a hairdryer.

So How To Dry Hair Fast Without Hair Dryer

Does dry hair fast without using a hairdryer? It’s possible, and I’ll show you how to do it without damaging your hair.

1. Wash your strands. This is the first step to how to dry hair fast without a hairdryer. The first thing you should do is wash your hair, but not in the normal way. Instead, grab a bottle of shampoo and pour it onto your head while making sure to rub it into your roots. Whatever you do, make sure it’s a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. You can use a shampoo for everyday use or something more gentle like a clarifying shampoo.

You may be tempted to skip this step if you’re in a hurry, but washing and conditioning your strands is essential for smoothing out your cuticle and creating the perfect canvas for drying.

Pairing an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner (we recommend the Redken Frizz Dismiss line) can help reduce frizz and create a shiny finish before even stepping away from the sink.

If you’re really in a hurry, try using Redken One United All In One Multi-Benefit Treatment Spray as a co-wash between shampoos to amp up shine and minimize frizz.

2. Partially dry your hair using a t-shirt. I know what you’re thinking. This sounds absolutely crazy. But trust me, It works,  I’ve been doing this for years, and I can honestly say that my hair is always perfectly dry, even when I’m in a rush to get out the door. To do this step, Take a large bath towel, spread it out on the ground, and lay your head on it with the towel wrapped around your head and neck. Then grab one end of the towel and lift it up, so that some of your hair is exposed to air while the majority remains drenched in water. Continue to dry each section of hair until you’ve worked your way all the way through your head.

3. Apply leave-in product. Make sure to apply the product before you begin drying if possible; otherwise, try to at least apply it when there are still some damp spots left in your hair. Applying a leave-in conditioner helps to smooth frizz and tame flyaways as well as protect from heat damage when you’re styling later on.

To achieve natural styles, L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray is your go-to combo. This product’s flexible control spray helps create feminine waves and texture, without any damage to your hair. With frizz resistance, this is the perfect product for creating a natural look. To use, simply spritz on damp hair, working in sections. For added wave, scrunch your ends using your fingers and let it dry.

For natural curls; If you want to get out of bed and walk out your door looking like the girl gone bad, then you need to use the CURVE IT Elastic Curl Mousse by L’Oreal Paris. This elastomer is perfect for any girl that wants to show up with a little more sexiness than normal. It provides a soft feel with a weightless hold. Shake it up well in the bottle before use, and apply it to your clean, damp hair. Scrunch it with your fingers and let your hairstyle naturally; if you want some extra lift at the roots, then apply more thereby focusing more product at the root of your hair shaft.
