Maybe you snoozed your hair drying minutes away, or maybe you’re just not willing to add unnecessary heat to your already-stuffy, AC-less apartment. Whatever the reason, sometimes drying your mane doesn’t work into your daily routine. And instead of giving you a lecture on leaving the house with wet hair (call mom for that) we’ll just applaud you for washing that greasy mop of yours in the first place (cue hand-clapping emoji).
But regardless, you probably feel the need to put a little effort into your beauty routine to look the required business-casual part at the office. So leaving home with dripping-wet strands probably won’t work with the whole sophisticated front you strive for.
Well, don’t go inconveniencing yourself with your hair dryer just yet. We’ve gathered five tips to help you turn your fresh-out-of-water locks into a cool and polished ‘do.

Tip #1: Apply a Frizz-Preventing Serum Ensure your mane stays smooth and glossy all day (even in the hottest heat and highest humidity) with a great anti-frizz product, like Original & Mineral’s Frizzy Logic. Containing argan and macadamia oils, this serum soothes hair to lock in moisture and repel humidity in an effort to minimize fly-aways and keep your strands silky soft. Just towel-dry your strands, apply a few drops of this coconut-scented saviour into the palms of your hands, distribute it evenly through your hair, and style as usual.
