Straightening Hair With a Blow Dryer
Straightening hair with a blow dryer can be a great option for those who want a sleek and smooth look without using a flat iron. Here’s the best technique to straighten hair using a blow dryer:
- Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is wet, use a towel to gently blot out the excess moisture. Avoid rubbing your hair with the towel, as this can cause frizz and breakage.
- Apply a heat protectant spray or serum to your hair to help prevent damage from the blow dryer.
- Section your hair into small sections using clips or hair ties. This will make it easier to work on each section and ensure that you don’t miss any spots.
- Using a round brush, gently pull the hair taut and aim the blow dryer at the roots, pointing the nozzle downwards. Slowly move the brush down the length of the hair, keeping the blow dryer close to the brush and following its movement. Repeat this process for each section of hair, working from the bottom up.
- When you’ve finished each section, use a cool shot button on the blow dryer to help set the hair and reduce frizz.
- Once you’ve finished blow drying all sections of hair, use a serum or hair oil to add shine and smoothness to the hair.
Remember to always use caution when using a blow dryer, and to keep the dryer moving to prevent heat damage. If you have thick or curly hair, you may need to use a higher heat setting or take smaller sections of hair to ensure that each section is fully dry and straightened.
