Blow Dryer Hair Styling Tips

Styling with a blow dryer can create sleek looks but, before you get started, here are a few rules to remember:

• Always use heat-protecting leave-in conditioner on your hair before reaching for the dryer
• If you have a high-volume hairstyle, use a light cleanser beforehand that doesn't weigh your hair down
• Direct heat downwards, from root to tip, to encourage your hair to lie smooth and flat

Q: Should you shape your hair with your fingers or a brush?

A: After a shampoo, blow-dry the rest of the moisture out of your hair. Use your fingers to untangle it before combing or brushing it. Ideally, your brush should have natural bristles, such as wild boar, to give hair extra luster.

Q: What should you do when you want to heat treat your hair?

A: Always use heat protectant before using heated hair styling tools, such as a blow-dryer or curling iron. Heat protectant mousse will give you some extra bounce if you apply it to the root portion of your hair.

Q: Should you brush hair before straightening it?

A: Yes; always brush your hair (preferably with a natural bristle brush) before straightening it. This will remove any residual spray, mousse, or other product that remains in your hair. Brushing will also relax your hair and make it easier to straighten it.

Q: Can the blow dryer be too hot?

A: Yes; even though the hottest and fastest settings may get the job done quicker, it’s definitely not good for your hair. Excessive heat can damage and really dry out your hair. If your hair is thin and fine, keep the heat and dryer speed at low to medium. If your hair is thick, you can increase the heat, but keep the dryer speed down, and always finish up with a shot of cool air.

Q: What is the best way to cool overheated hair?

A: Even when you take precautions, your hair may still get too hot during straightening. Run a comb through it a couple of times while allowing the overheated hair to fall over the comb.
