BLOW DRYING TIPS



Blow drying your hair is perhaps the best method to straighten out your curls without treating them chemically ad it can be easily done at home, provided you do it the right way. Carelessness in handling the heat on your hair may damage them permanently. Here are a few tips that you can use to blow dry your hair:
Wash your hair and dry them using the towel.
Apply any thermal protector hair product that protects them from heat, especially the hair ends.
Rub some straightening balm in your palms and massage it in your hair evenly.
Comb your hair using your finger and then use the blow dryer on a low setting to remove the excess water.
Take a section of your hair and clip rest of them on top.
Gently brush through the section from roots to ends using a thick, round brush while blow-drying your hair, stretching and straightening your hair at the same time.
While blow-drying the hair, remember to point the nozzle of the dryer downside to avoid frizzes.
If you have flyaway hair, you can tame them by applying an anti-frizz serum or pomade on it.
It is better to blow dry hair while brushing the underside first, so that hairs in the lower section gets dried too and then you can move on to the topmost layer of hair.
Keep the tension consistent and distribute the heat evenly over the section of the hair to ensure uniform drying of hair and that you do not damage the hair texture.
Take other sections of hair and keep working on them. It's better to work from the backside of your hair to the front side.
If you have two crowns on the top of your head, try drying the hair first in the opposite direction and then move on to the direction you want to make them stand uniformly. Drying hair flat to the scalp can only emphasize the double crown.
Fully dry each section of hair before moving to the next section, so that you don't need to redo it again later.
The best finishing brush that can give you smooth silky hair look is the large paddle brush.
If you want to keep curly hair, it is better to blow dry with a diffuser on low speed and apply the hair product while the hair is still damp.
