The Hair Product You Probably Think You Don’t Need, But Actually Really Do
The Must-Have Hair Product You Probably Think You Don’t Need
WHAT: Playa New Day Mist 3-in-1 Styler Refresh
WHY: There are so many hair products in categories we don’t fully understand. It’s like they’re all secretly trying to make us feel dumb for not knowing how to use a “texturizing powder salt spray.”
What we know for sure is, once our hair is done, we want the style to last as long as humanly possible, because “doing one’s hair” is, as we all know, the single most ghastly activity on earth.
So yes, use an easy styling product that’s designed to work without having to blow dry your hair. Yes, use a dry shampoo immediately once you’ve styled your hair to keep the grease at bay. But what about when you’re 3 days in, the waves are suddenly going in weird directions, and the frizz is starting to bloom?
We use this mist.
Spray it onto the hair itself (not the root) and finger curl your waves back into place. Or spray all over your hair and use a blow dryer for 15 seconds and scrunch up your hair a little with your hands. Or spray a few squirts all over your head and take a flat iron to your hair for 2 minutes. And POOF. You’re back, baby. You’ll have that just stepped out of a salon feeling again, and all will be right with the world.
The scent of neroli and bitter orange perfumes your hair, and every time their floral, citrus notes hit your nose, you will be instantly transported to some Hawaiian island in your mind. If you like that sort of thing.
