Reviews

Great product, annoying size

"Absolutely love this foam. It’s smells amazing. I think it’s for wavy hair but it actually works great on my type 4A curls. Docking a star because the size is so annoying. It’s not small enough for travel and it’s not large enough for the price."

Kel (4/5)

Brings out my waves

"I use it after the shower on almost wet hair. I scrunch it up but apply it all over my hair. Works wonders for bringing out my waves and keeping my hair soft. It doesn't weigh down my hair, which is very important, because I have fine and dense hair. Please offer a travel size!"

Helen (5/5)

Good for Curls

"Works well on damp hair for curls. It only take a little. Can be drying if you use too much."

Glyn Y. (4/5)

Absolutely amazing!

"I can't even tell you how many times Ive bought this. I scrunch it in my damp hair (in the fall/winter, or when its not humid, I might first use a leave in conditioner or curl cream) and literally just walk out the door. If I have time I just sit outside and let my hair dry (very relaxing) or if I'm going to work I stick my head out the window as I'm driving. Its astounding, but there is not one bit of frizz or weird straight blown out bits when I do that, nothing but perfect bouncy curls. I started a new job last summer (in FL) and was constantly complimented on how bouncy, pretty and healthy my hair looked (47, perimenopause- but hair is looking better than ever!). On less humid days I might also use the OUAI wave spray. I have yet to find something that compares to the magic of this product."

Defines my waves/curls- adds shine,

"Defines my waves/curls- adds shine, keeps frizz and fly-aways down. I love this air dry foam. Help get me out the door looking styled."

"Very light on my hair, finish a beautiful"

Mary (5/5)

"Leaves my waves soft and not crunchy."

Susan (5/5)

"I do not understand the magic of this but, it works! It’s like an elevated mousse in my very humid climate, but with no weird smell or crunch. Forms & holds my uneven curl pattern in a soft & natural curl which is elevated from a non-product “air dry” Again, magic! Habitual repurchase!"

Catherine (5/5)

Want gorgeous , frizzy-free 3C curls or waves? Try

"Want gorgeous , frizzy-free 3C curls or waves? Try this trick: 1)When hair is clean and damp, run a small amount of OUAI hair oil throughout. 2)Working in sections, use 1-3 pumps of OUAI air dry foam and work through hair as you scrunch. 3)Spritz hair with OUAI wave spray and scrunch."

Q&A

Is the air dry foam also a leave in conditioner?
Hi Lauryne, Our Air Dry Foam has different function than our Leave In Conditioner. It will activate your curls when you want a true wash n go style. It fights frizz and adds definition to waves and curls. That being said it isn't a heat protectant so I recommend you to pair it with Leave In Conditioner if you'll use heat styling tools. Hope this helps!
Can you use the air dry foam with the wave spray? If so, how best should I do that? I have medium-length, somewhat thick hair that tends to be frizzy and has a decent wave to it but it’s usually quite uneven. I want to be able to air dry it and wear my hair wavy for once without looking like I stuck my finger in a socket.
Hi there! We recommend using Air Dry Foam and then Wave Spray for a bit of extra hold. You can always use Wave Spray for a second day touch up on dry hair!
Is this product safe for low lights and toned hair? I noticed after I applied it to my wet hair that some of the water dripping was dark- like my color was dripping out- not super dark- just a tint of dark.
Hi! All of our products, including Air Dry Foam, is safe for color-treated hair.
Is the air dry foam suitable for thick hair?
Air Dry Foam is great for all hair types including thick hair.
I have thick, wavy hair that likes to get frizzy. But due to the thickness I often lose volume due to the weight of my hair. Would this be better for me or should I use a mousse instead (I rarely--if ever--blow dry my hair)
We recommend trying our Soft Mousse for maximum volume and fullness!
