R+Co Sun Catcher Power C Boosting Leave-In Conditioner

This Leave-In Conditioner Helped Me Shorten My Post-Shower Hair Routine Drastically

The lightweight cream formula is easily worked into towel-dried hair without weighing it down or leaving behind any oily residue — a must for me because my hair is very fine. To use it, I scrunched it into my wet hair after the shower and followed up with a curl-enhancing mousse. Because the whole point of air-drying your hair is to cut down on styling time, I loved how quick and easy it was to use. The leave-in conditioner paired with the scrunching method helped give my hair natural waves at the end without the need for any additional heatless curling method. For additional texture, you can scrunch more into your dry hair next-day and it acts as a reviver for your waves. I've used it in every post-shower routine since.

Like many others, I've prioritised air-drying my hair rather than heat styling it over the last few months. It's quicker, requires less effort, and is better for your hair anyway. I have slightly wavy hair and despite air-drying it often pre-work-from-home, I always kept a curling wand close by to fix it just incase I woke up and it looked wonky — which it often does.

Everyone says that to master air-drying your hair, you have to have the right products — what I thought that meant was an assortment of styling creams, mousse, and foams. Turns out, all I needed was one leave-in conditioner.

While meeting with Ashley Streicher (virtual, of course) to learn about her recent product collaboration with hair-care brand R+Co, she told me about how she does her hair. (For reference, during our Zoom call her hair had effortless, loose waves.) I was convinced she had styled it with a curling iron until she said that her hopes for her new product would be that people would learn how to embrace their air-dried texture. That's when I basically blurted out, "Wait, is your hair air-dried right now?" and she confirmed that it was.
