8 Hair Products That Cut Drying Time in Half

Made with actual caviar extracts (fancy!), this nourishing butter restores natural shine, conditions dry strands and smoothes the hair shaft for easy-to-manage strands that dry in record time.

Not only does this cream repair damaged strands and up the shine factor, it also acts as a barrier to heat damage, which helps speed along the drying process.

Ceramides and vitamin E are two ingredients we often see in skin-care products, but this blowout spray uses them to help soften, repair and dry hair quicker, with that signature Oribe scent we all love so much.

Forget regular old towels—this waffle-texture hair turban sops up excess water with its super-absorbent material. How, you ask? It’s made with finer-than-silk fibers that draw out H2O while keeping the hair cuticle nice and smooth. No friction means no frizz.

It only makes sense that a powerful hair dryer speeds drying time, right? This professional model is extremely lightweight (we’re talking less than one pound) but features a motor speed of 94 mph to dry locks in a matter of minutes.

Colored hair is more porous, which means that it takes even longer to dry. But this dye-safe spray adds a high-gloss protective layer onto the outer cuticle of hair to dramatically reduce both heat damage and drying time.

Blow-drying curly hair is a feat—rough your coils up too much and they’ll look frizzy and fried. Let them air dry and they might still be wet come your next shower. That’s where this curly-hair-specific diffuser comes in: The unique prong-like design delivers 360-degree airflow to gently dry strands without causing them to look unraveled or fuzzy.

Ever heard your mom say brushing soaked hair causes breakage? She’s not wrong—unless you use a brush that’s meant for wet strands. This one has flexible bristles won’t ever tug, snag or cause breakage and they’re heat resistant, so you can use it while blow drying. The open-vented design allows moisture to easily evaporate for faster drying time overall.
