Blow Drying Tips – The Proper Way To Dry Your Hair
Using hair dryers or blow dryers is so common nowadays that the only comment it elicits is if you do not use them. Most people use blow dryers simply because it is more convenient and helps them get their hair in the desired shape. While the use of a hair dryer is fairly simple, there are some very elemental things that you need to follow to get the best out of your blow dryer.
Don’t think that a professional dryer is better for your hair. In the same way that a NASCAR driver would be a little too much as your chauffeur, you really do not need one of these for your hair. On the contrary, the excess heat and air flow may in fact cause you to get coarse, wrinkly hair and may even cause hair loss.
Do not hold the dryer too close to your head; hold it at least 6 inches away.
Never use your hair dryer on the maximum heat setting. It is better to use a low to medium heat setting and spend a little longer in drying your hair. There is more heat damage caused by using excessive heat than by using low heat for longer.
There is really no need for you to wave your dryer back and forth. This is done by most people simply because they think that it reduces the amount of heat damage. On the contrary, it does not help at all. Hair tends to retain heat and the fraction of a second that the nozzle is directed away from the hair is not sufficient to lower the temperature. Even then repeated heating and cooling is not good for your hair and will only make it brittle, causing it to break easily.
All the extra attachments that are given along with the dryer are best junked. Just use the one that gives you an optimum air flow. Everything else is really not needed. Most professionals just use one attachment and a brush for all their needs.
You get a better set when you go to a hair dressers not because of anything special in the dryer, but because they blow dry hair day in and day out. That is their job, and if you were in their place, you too would become as expert at it.
Always blow dry your hair only when it is damp, not when it is wet.
Lastly always blow dry your hair top down. It will cause you to give your arm muscles a workout, but that is a good thing, isn’t it. Doing it the other way round because you want to spare your arms means that you will have fizzy hair.
Some of you may already know these tips, while many others would not have. Whatever the case may be, it is just a small thing that I wanted to share with you to make your hair look better.
