Less frizz

I used the Kitsch Smoothing Air Dry Cream on my combination hair type. It works well into my hair, minimizes frizz, and leaves my hair smelling great. I prefer applying it to wet hair rather than dry hair; it doesn't cause stiffness and adds shine to my hair.

This really does work !

It is challenging to find a product that effectively manages fine, long hair, effectively preventing frizz and dryness. Typically, other products weigh down my hair, causing it to appear greasy and unhygienic. However, I recently discovered a product that has exceeded my expectations. Even a small amount of this product is highly effective.

On the day I first used it, the weather was exceptionally humid, which naturally caused some frizz. Nevertheless, once I applied the product, my hair became incredibly smooth and shiny. It felt weightless and devoid of any greasiness. Remarkably, my hair’s appearance continued to be impressive the following day.

Great cream!

This cream is the first of its kind that I’ve used on my hair. I have a thick curly 3B/3A curl type and it’s hard to find products that work well for it, until now. This cream has restored my curls back to their youthful bounce. The ringlets have returned and look as hydrated as they actually are! I love how a little goes a long ways and you can apply it on wet or dry hair if you are in a pinch. Definitely give it a try, you won’t regret it!

I love the Air Dry Cream! It transformed my hair to a completely different level! I have never used a hair product that is this wonderful.

It made my hair fuller, shiny, frizz and flyaway free, hydrated and very soft, all without adding any weight to my fine hair.

I give this 10/5⭐️

Delivers on promises

This is a really solid hair product in all aspects that delivers on its promises and promotes shine, manageability, and softly defined waves. For me I experienced a very slight tendency to tangle. It is weightless and has a light pleasant fragrance. I recommend trying it to see how it works on your hair. And I'm a little jealous if it's perfect for you!

Excellent hair air drying cream

I am one who lets her curls air dry after showering & brushing my hair, but some days, my curls have their own funky ideas on how they want to curl, including frizzing on occasion. So I use a leave in conditioner of some sort to help my curls look extra nice and healthy when drying. With this product from Kitsch, it is so easy to apply.

The product is the right formula of cream, too thin and runny, and not so solid or thick to create buildup in the hair, while easy to apply directly on damp hair. Compared to other Kitsch products, this cream was not very scented, in my opinion, which will make it usable to a wider range of people.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hair types is this product suitable for?

This product is best suited for fine to medium hair types, and is perfect for enhancing the appearance of natural texture and waves while decreasing frizz.

Can I use Air Dry Cream if I still want to use a hot tool?

Our Air Dry Cream is intended for heat-free styling, but you can still use this product for frizz reduction and style retention benefits before heat styling. However, this product does not contain heat protectant, so we recommend using it in combination with the Kitsch Priming Heat Protectant & Styling Spray.

Is Air Dry Cream color-safe?

Our air dry cream is color-safe as it is free from dyes and sulfates.

What does Air Dry Cream smell like?

A warm blend of sugared amber with base notes of vanilla and sandalwood. If you’ve tried our Shea Butter Solid Conditioner or Castor Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Bars, it’s that same cozy, addictive scent!

What are the scalp health benefits of using an Air Dry Cream?

By choosing heat-free styling, your scalp is not subject to high temperatures that may worsen scalp issues like dryness and irritation. (This product is not intended to be used on scalp)

Is Air Dry Cream suitable for low porosity hair?

Yes, this is suitable for low porosity hair, but because low-porosity hair can feel coated easily and a little bit of this product goes a long way, we recommend starting with a pea-sized amount and increase from there if needed.
