you cannot beat a hairdo that just falls into what it’s supposed to look like. I blowdry mine without using a brush, just using my hands, and I use no product— normally it just falls into place [I also do not carry a brush, so once it is dried and brushed I don’t touch a brush to it again, just run my fingers through it]
I use a brush to dry it straight - sort of - but like you it sort of styles with my hands - no product here either
