Most women devote up to an hour a day to preening and primping before stepping out the front door. While some lucky ladies have hair that air dries into beautiful, soft waves or shiny, straight strands or are fortunate enough to have a flawless, makeup-free complexion, most are not genetically gifted enough to just simply wake up and go. Plus, if you’re like us, you’re usually pressed for time. Check out the following products designed to help shave more than a few seconds off your morning routine and take you from wet and unkempt to pulled together and pretty.
