Anyone who blow-dries regularly and wants the job done faster, with heat protection built in. Redken positions it for all hair types and textures, and it is especially useful on hair that tends to frizz or takes a long time to dry smooth. Easy for everyday home use as well as in the salon chair.

Most heat protectants just sit between your hair and the dryer. Quick Blowout is built to shorten the blow-dry itself, and it conditions, smooths and adds shine at the same step, so one spray covers prep, protection and polish. It is light enough to layer under whatever you use next, which makes it an easy first step in almost any blowout routine.

1. Shake well before use.
2. Mist evenly over damp, towel-dried hair.
3. Blow-dry as usual, or combine with your other styling products. For a sleek finish, Redken suggests blow-drying with a flat brush.

Pros

• Flash Drying formula is designed to shorten blow-dry time.
• Heat protection up to 450°F / 230°C for the dryer and follow-up hot tools.
• Lightweight spray that smooths and adds shine without a heavy feel.
• Vegan formula.

Cons

• Needs a good shake before every use.
• A primer, not a holding product: for volume or curl hold you will still need a styler.
• Silicone-based slip, which some people with very fine hair may find too smoothing if over-applied.
