The part that makes this worth it is how much easier it can make wash day feel. Fast drying is the main character here, especially when I do not have the time, patience, or emotional strength to stand there forever with wet hair.  Frizz control is another little win, because the ionic feature helps hair look smoother and shinier instead of puffy and chaotic.
