Want try to know how to do the perfect blow dry at home? We reveal the step by step process.
Before you get started, here’s a list of tools and styling products to get ready:
Hairdryer, preferably with a nozzle
Heat protectant spray
Medium or large round brush
Styling products: volumising, texturising or thickening spray
Hair serum, oil or spray for finishing and hold
Step one: If you have it, spray damp hair with a heat protectant. Semi-dry before your actual blow dry. Aim to remove around 80 per cent of the moisture in your hair before you start styling. When it’s almost dry run through some texturising, volumising or thickening spray.
Step two: Next, section the hair on top of your crown and secure it with a clip. Begin drying the underneath layers with the round brush, using high heat. Point the dryer’s nozzle downward to help smooth the hair and create a glossy finish.
Step three: Manipulate your brush. Use the brush to dry the hair gently and keep a distance between the dryer and the brush. And make sure you dry your hair in the right direction—from top to bottom.
Step four: Work the top section. Aim the nozzle at the roots to add volume, then working toward the ends, using the brush to pull hair forward and out.
Step five: Always cool down. Set the dryer to the cold button, which helps to smooth the hair down and set the look. Smooth down any stray hairs with some hair serum, oil or spray.
