subject: Blow Drying Gets You Smooth Shiny Hair [print this page] There are many factors that you have to keep in mind while you are blow drying your hair. By following necessary steps, you can prevent your hair from damages that are prone to occur due to blow drying.
The requirements are a blow dryer for drying the hair; a hair brush for styling; styling serum; hair comb; and mousse. Here are the steps for achieving shiny and smoothest hair drying.
First of all, wash you hair well using a shampoo and follow it with a conditioner. Using a wide toothed comb remove the tangles form the hair, if any. Then dry your hair partially to remove the excess wetness.
Take the required amount of mouse on the palm of your hand. Gently apply the mousse all over your hair evenly, starting from the roots to the tip.
Partition the hair into small sections and clip the various sections in place using clips. Clip the hair top and side hairs out of the way. First start the process by taking the unclipped free hair. Hold the styling brush on one hand and the dryer on the other. Hold the hair using the brush and start blowing the air starting from the root. Slowly move the brush and the blower together until the entire length of hair is dried.
To attain a small bend, curve the brush under at the ends. Always concentrate drying the hair from the roots, by bringing the brush back to the roots and repeating the process until the section of hair is dry.
Release the clipped sections of hair and start drying them. Repeat the process in the previous steps until all the sections of hair is blown dry. Apply the serum to give the hair a finished look. They flatten the portions of hair that tend to stick out.
Note: The time and method of drying your hair depends upon the length and thickness of your hair. Use a high heat setting while blowing for the first time, as it will remove the excess wetness and moisture from the hair. Switch over to medium or low heat once the hair is almost dry. By directing the air flow downwards, the cuticles get smoother and hair gets shinier.
