I used to have extra-long hair down to my waist that I was very happy with, but after a hairstylist went a little scissor happy at a recent trim, I ended up with a cut that hit just past my shoulders. After that, I made it my mission to drop heat-styling hair tools in the hopes of restoring my hair's length and maintaining its health, and that meant switching up my hair routine completely. I introduced more masks and leave-in conditioners to my regimen. I also used gentle hair accessories and detanglers to prevent stress and damage to my hair. After four months, my hair felt stronger and has grown a few inches. Read on to learn more about the products that got me through a heat tool-free Summer. Lush R and B Hair Moisturiser Image Source: lushusa.com I used Lush R and B Hair Moisturiser ($26) to style my hair all throughout high school and college, and I recently picked it back up for this hair experiment. It never fails to define my natural waves, bring down my frizz, and leave it smelling like a garden of tropical flowers. To apply it, I use my pointer and middle fingers to work a half-teaspoon's worth of product into my hair from the mid-lengths to the ends. Then, I twirl my hair into a loose, low bun, and let it air dry. Once I unravel the knot and shake out my hair, I'm left with defined beach waves that loosen throughout the day. The cream is rich enough to also keep my frizz down for hours, but on especially hot and humid days, I use a pea-sized amount on dry hair to touch up any flyaways that are out of place.

I, too, was confused when getting my hands on the Antisocial Dry Hair Mask ($34), but hear me out. This stuff works wonders when my hair is feeling extra dry but I don't want to wash my hair or introduce any wet products to it. Think of it as sleeping mask — a mask that you leave on overnight and don't have to wash off in the a.m. — for your hair. Before heading to bed, I spritzed this fine-mist spray onto the lengths of my hair and threw it into a loose bun. I woke up to defined waves that were silky soft and had an unmatched, brilliant shine.
