Shine by Air
Heatless doesn’t have to mean lifeless. This is our favorite way to coax believable gloss without irons or blowouts—an air-dry routine our Glam Beauty Guide editors use on set when time is kind.
The Clean Start
Clarify lightly to remove dulling residue, then follow with a slip-rich conditioner. Comb through to distribute.
Prime and Press
On damp hair, apply a leave-in with lightweight oils and film formers. Press from mid-length to ends—pressing, not raking, keeps frizz smoothed.
The Wrap
Tuck hair into a soft cotton tee or microfiber towel for 10–15 minutes. Release and let air do the rest. Touch minimally while it sets.
The finish reads natural, reflective, and clean—gloss without the ordeal. Featured techniques from Glam Beauty Guide.
