Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I remember only a couple of times I've liked my airdries. Now that I've seen what kind of shape my hair is truly in I will under an ear length hair cut and really banish my blowdryer to special occasions. I think the last time I really liked and air dry may have been using Matrix Sleek hair masque. A rinse out works best for me. I used to think only a leave in would work for my hair. I mean it's so nappy it's probably a 6a. But when I did one really good air dry it was with a rinse out products and everytime I use a leave in it doesn't do so well. What do you use for your airdry?
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I use coconut oil/olive oil and Infusium 23 leave-in. Salerm 21 works really well also as a leave-in.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

today I used some profectiv breakfree, a little oil, and some loreal anti frizz, and it dried very nice, ESPECIALLY since Im like 9 weeks post relaxer!:)

Try Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave in Cream. Works like a charm for my 4a/4b hair when I air dry.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I use Profectiv breakfree, Redken heat glide, then when its semi dry, I add Profectiv healthy ends or jojoba oil.

i use carols daughter healthy hair butter and wild growth hair oil and it couldn't be silkier
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I would have to say my hair is the silkiest when airdried and using Carol's Daughter Hair Milk or coconut oil. Any of these or a combo leaves hair SO silky and soft.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

Deep Brilliance products work wonders for my hair when I air dry. When I use the shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in, my hair always comes out silky and soft. I'm not sure of the exact names because I'm at work but the products work great.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

Salerm 21 is nice. I airdried nicely using that and a little bit of NTM healing shine serum. NTM silk touch is also nice. I learned recently that if you want a silky soft and light airdry, go easy on the oils while the hair is wet. I was putting coconut oil (which I
love.gif
) on wet hair and I stopped liking the effect. Last night after a co wash, I skipped the oil and just used the leave-ins, as an experiment, and I loved the results. I used my coconut oil on my already airdried hair. I am still going to use my oil on wet hair sometimes, but I won't be so heavy-handed with it next time. My hair is so soft today, but not heavy. Nice! Also, I learned that my hair airdries straighter/flatter after I tie it down when I don't use oil on my wet hair. Since I wear my hair in a bun, it is very important for me to not have my hair poofy!

BINGO! I agree completely. I don't use oils AT ALL to set my wet hair -- just the leave in and then even that I use sparingly. I add a drop or two of oil AFTER my hair is completely dry for shine and to seal in moisture.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I air dried my freshly relaxed hair last night. I used castor, coconut, and jojoba oils to my Mizani leave in while the hair was damp and then a shea butter concotion of jojoba oil, coconut oil, and Mizani H2o overnight. I used a lighter touch with the butters and oils than I usually do, and it works.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I have salerm and I'm still trying to see what the big deal is. It is so oily. I diluted it very well with water and I still didn't like it. I'll try it again. But I think I do better with rinse outs. Does anyone have any rinse out suggestions. Thanks for all the suggestions.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I use Salerm 21 leave in or Lacio Lacio on my hair to airdry then apply coconut oil and use Profectiv Healthy ends on my end to protect them.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

My hair airdried beautifully today. I did a CW with Jason's Sea Kelp (I think the effectiveness of your regular conditioner does contribute greatly to your airdrying success, by the way). I sprayed my wet hair with Aphogee pro-vitamin leave-in. I'm really loving this stuff lately. When I first got it I thought it was just okay, but for some reason my hair has taken a liking to it recently. Then I detangled and let my hair dry loose. Once my hair was just about dry (the roots were still a little damp--lots of newgrowth), I sprayed my hair lightly with s-curl to moisturize. After that had soaked in I finished off with a teensy bit of hot 6 oil. I put my hair in 8 random twists afterwards to keep it from tangling. I still have them in, as I'm just sitting around the house.

My newgrowth is soft and moisturized, and the relaxed hair is so smooth and silky you would think I blowdried it or something.

It's all about using a light touch with whatever products you use

Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I love Nexxus Headress or Biolage leave-in hair tonic.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

Giovanni Direct leave-in, Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat, Nexxus Humectress, Suave Awapuhi, Rosemary Oil, Castor Oil, and Infusium 23 leave-in.
 
Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

I usually steam condition my hair with lekairs and shea butter. Then I rinse it out with water or shampoo my hair....instant softness.

Re: Hey 4a/4b\'s what gives silky soft airdry?

4 the past 2 1/2 weeks I've been doing CW's and adding an oil mixture to my hair at the end ofwhatever products I put in my hair. That has helped greatly in keeping the moisture in my hair.

in a bottle I've mixed:
Castor oil
avocado seven oil **( has safflowe,sesame,peanut,sunflower, olive and wheat germ oil

sweet almond
rosemary
cinnamon
coconut
Apricot

this is really nice for airdring...locks in moisture and leaveins for me. is not greasy either...I use a little and it goes a long way. applied everyother day
