From Bed Head to Head Turner: Products that Pack a Punch
When every morning minute counts, these haircare products can satisfy your need for speed.
Spray Away the Day: Bye-bye, time-consuming blow dry! Kenra Platinum’s Blow-Dry Spray is your best bet for speeding up drying time while shielding your hair from heat. This double-duty spray reduces drying time by up to 50%, evenly coating the hair to disperse water and promote rapid evaporation. In addition to heat protection that reduces damage and breakage, it also detangles and softens, eliminates frizz, resists humidity, and provides long-lasting and healthy-looking results.
Get Some Air: For those days when you haven’t got time to turn up the heat, embrace your hair's natural beauty with Air Dry Crème 6, your ultimate time-saving styler. Ideal for all hair types, it slashes drying time by up to 59%, allowing you to achieve a morning meeting-worthy look– quickly and effortlessly. The multi-benefit crème enhances your hair's natural body, tames frizz with a gentle hold, and delivers a flawless, product-free finish that feels as good as it looks.
Go for a Hydration Hero: Don’t have time for a full conditioning session? A good leave-in conditioner like the Luxe One Leave-In from Kenra Platinum ensures your hair behaves no matter what the day throws at it. Enriched with precious gold, it delivers lustrous shine and opulent slip, while protecting your hair up to 450°F. Its innovative sprayer ensures a fine, even mist for quick application, perfect for a fast-paced lifestyle—leaving your hair stunningly silky. If you’d rather use it as a lotion, press the nozzle more slowly to dispense as a crème in your hand before application.

Try a Beautiful Bun: Start your day with a fun bun that takes less than five minutes to perfect. This hairstyle is ideal for mornings when you haven’t got time for the mane. Simply pull your hair back into a high ponytail, twist it around the base, and secure it with bobby pins.
Go for a Pretty Pony: A sleek ponytail is a polished and professional look that will let you hit the snooze button to your heart’s content. Brush your hair back to a smooth finish and secure it with a hair tie at the nape of your neck or higher, depending on your preference. Want to add a global twist? Try a French twist ponytail. This classic look will take you from day to play without skipping a beat.
Get Into a Bewitching Braid: The essence of elegance, a simple braid keeps your hair neat, chic, and under control. Even on your busiest days, a quick three-strand braid can elevate your style without slowing you down. It’s the ultimate hairstyle hack for blending personality with practicality. From your morning coffee run to your late-night gym session, a braid ties up your look all day.
Quick Color: Tips to Help Your Hue Last, Fast
When it comes to color, look like you just stepped out of the salon even if you haven’t seen your colorist for months.
Select Simple Shades: Dial down the hair chair drama with techniques like balayage or ombrè or shades that are a close match to your natural hue. These choices offer a gorgeous, low-key grow-out and push salon visits further apart so you can look your best without time-draining touch-ups.
Care for Your Color: Incorporate color care products into your hair care routine and shield your shade from the fade. These miracle workers can be used during and after a five-minute shower to boost vibrancy and keep your dye job from dying.
Streamlined Strands: Final Speedy Style Savers
From overnight styling secrets to weekly mask moments, these final tips let you use your downtime to reduce your prep time.
Have Good Nights: Nighttime is the right time to get started on making your mornings smoother. Create heatless curls while you sleep by wrapping a thick cloth into your hair. This technique not only creates luscious waves, it keeps your hair from tangling and breaking.
Work Mask Magic: Have a date night with a nurturing hair mask. This luxurious spa-like treatment not only gives you a me-moment in an otherwise busy week, it makes hair shinier and more radiant, enhancing smoothness and strengthening strands for better manageability on those unmanageable mornings.
Tame Your Tangles: Say goodbye to the tug-of-war with your hair. With the right tools—like a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush—and a touch of leave-in hydrating spray, you can glide through knots in no time. Start at the ends and work your way up to keep your strands strong.
With these savvy styling tips and essential haircare tricks, you’ll ensure every day is a good hair day, no matter how packed your day is.
