What it is: Shu Uemura Straightforward Time-Saving Blow Dry Oil
Why you need it: A product that promises to improve the health of your hair and speed up the hair-drying process? Just take our money now. Perfect for medium-to-thick hair, this game-changer works to decrease frizz, improve shininess (like you’ve just visited a salon) and simply make blow-drying a dream. In fact, according to a survey conducted by Shu Uemura, the oil was shown to halve the amount of time and effort it took to dry hair.
What you need to know: Don’t be scared by the fact that it’s an oil. The black cumin oil formula actually comes in the form of an airy spritz, making it not only mess-free to use, but the special nozzle makes sure the oil is distributed lightly, lessening the chance of you overdoing it.
How to use it: Towel-dry your hair (press gently, don’t rub), and spritz the product from your mid-lengths to ends. For best results, don’t forget to gently comb through the product with your fingers to spread the product evenly. Then, section your hair, blow-dry as you usually would, and let the compliments roll in.
