Perfecting your hair routine is a journey. It takes trial and error. It takes research and lots of careful consideration. AirWash™ dry shampoo and AstroLift™reparative volume spray are here to simplify your routine (and in turn, your life). Whether you’ve been burned by dry shampoos in your past or have no idea what a volumizer actually does, consider this your definitive guide to these two groundbreaking products.

Before we dive into how to incorporate them into your routine + how to use them together for the best results, let’s compare the two side by side:

Now that you understand how these biotech-powered stylers stack up, we can jump into when to use them. 

when to use AirWash™ vs AstroLift™

Timing is everything—in life, in love, and especially in haircare. Shampoo comes before conditioner for a reason. The 4-minute wait time for K18 leave-in molecular repair mask allows K18PEPTIDE™ to penetrate into hair’s innermost layers. 

So, when deciding when to reach for AirWash™or AstroLift™—we have some guidance.

AirWash™ refreshes your hair and scalp between washes with patented odorBIND™ smart-release biotechnology, which eliminates odor-causing sweat and oil molecules on contact. 

It’s a dry shampoo, but better (no overly fragranced, aerosol formulas here). AirWash™ works best on dry hair, either before you plan to break a sweat or after.

AstroLift™ delivers instant weightless bounce to all hair types. This first-of-its-kind spray brings together inner damage repair with outer volume for 2.5x more all-over volume* and an increase in hair’s diameter by up to 25%*. Since this humidity-resistant powerhouse is also infused with the K18PEPTIDE™ it reverses damage while boosting volume. AstroLift™ works on both damp and dry hair, so you can add touchable volume straight out of the shower or revitalize bounce on second-day hair without sticky residue.
