By following these tips step by step the Smooth, Shiny Hair can be achieved:
The first step is to shampoo and condition the hair well, to make it smooth and moisturized.
Make the hair tangle free by brushing it with a wide toothed comb.
Remove excess moisture by allowing the hair to dry partially, but make sure that it does not get fully dried.
Take a handful of mousse in one hand and spread it using the other hand and smear it evenly through the hair.
Now separate the hair in to two parts, and clip the top and the sides away. Then take a small section of the hair that is left. Divide your hair into two main sections by clipping the top and sides out of the way. Then, take a small section of the free part and start the procedure. Hold the dryer on one hand and the styling brush on the other; place it near the roots underneath the specific portion that is being worked on. Start moving the brush towards the tips while maintaining the tension and also follow the dryer in the direction of brush. So the air from the dryer also follows the downward movements of the brush.
Take care to curve the brush at the tips for a slight bend and always begin the drying from the roots; and also repeat brushing from the roots after it has traveled the whole length. Repeat this until it is fully dry. Again repeat this step for the complete back portion until it is fully dried.
Slightly different for the top portion, let go a part and dry the hair in the same manner. After it is fully dried, finish the procedure with some amount of serum to smoothen the fluttering ends.
The net effect can diverge depending on the factors such as hair texture, thickness, dryness and style.
Tips:
The drying can be done at high heat and speed settings for the removal of excess moisture; but always remember to finish at the medium setting. To smooth the cuticles and add shine to hair, always point the blow dryer downwards.
