21 Techniques For Blow Drying Your Hair
- Squeeze excess water out and then pat dry with a towel.
- Gently detangle your hair with a wide tooth comb.
- Set your blow dryer on low or medium heat.
- Do not hold the dryer too close when drying hair.
- Keep the blow dryer about six to eight inches away from your hair.
- Section your hair up and start with the under sections.
- If you dry your hair upside down, start at the nape, move on to the sides and dry the crown last.
- Aim the airflow from your dryer along the hair in the direction of the ends.
- Use a blow drying lotion to dry hair more quickly.
- Use your blow-dryer's nozzle attachment.
- Use a round brush to give hair lift, control or fullness. The size of the brush is determined by the length of the hair. Using a large round brush works best on most hair.
- Use a faster speed rather than a higher heat setting.
- To prevent heat damage, use a thermal protector according to the product instructions. It adds body and shine.
- To control static in your hair, spray hairspray on your hairbrush and brush it through your hair from the roots to the ends.
- Begin styling the hair when the scalp is completely dry and 80 percent of the hair is dry.
- Use the right hair products for your hair type.
- If your hair is prone to frizz, keep your fingers out of your hair until it is 100 percent dry.
- Allow plenty of time to blow dry your style. Speed blow drying can cause frizz.
- Get rid of any blow dryer older than five years. The older the blow dryer, the higher the chance that the temperature gauge is damaged.
- Give your hair a break once in awhile and let it just dry naturally.
- Practice makes perfect. Don't become frustrated if your hair isn't perfect. You will get better with every blow dry. If your blow dry is not working at home then talk to your stylist at your next appointment. Your stylist can cut your hair a little differently to make it easier to style.
