I had my hair cut , a sort of bob , took a good load of length off .
My aim is to not just tie it back but to embrace my loose hair .
It is wavy so I want to enhance this .
Any suggestions what I can try ?
Something to run through towel damp hair and air dry (I am not one to do styling day to day )
Only Cruelty Free please
TIA

I use Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly.
Not too expensive.

I use Living Proof air-dry styler. It's vegan and cruelty free. I got it instore, in a large M&S (think you can get it on their website). Lasts for ages.

I swear by Merwave. Yes it’s pricey but I don’t get the shampoo and conditioner- just the products. Only have to wash my hair one a week now and my frizz is under control!

Umberto gianni curl jelly here too. I also use their wave whip mousse. Mousse first all through, jelly in the ends only, leave to air dry!

I second merwave. Its the only brand that has worked on my wavy hair. Even the higher priced highstreet ones still leave me with frizz and undefined waves

Thank you for the recommendations , loads to look at .

I'm using a balm at the moment (Percy&Reed ) that I had in the cupboard which is ok but I want to try other things ,
I think for my hair health not tying back them I won't put stress on the scalp or the tied area . Just need to make the best of it ,
