Hair tip of the day: blow drying!

Most people own a blow dryer but don't really know how to use it. I suggest a blow dryer that is 1600• and ionic. Be sure to use the nozzle. This will direct the air flow. There are some tips to blow drying hair that will help the process to go faster & make it last longer. The first thing is that after washing your hair, blot out as much of the moisture as possible. Buying a micro fiber hair wrap can be quite helpful. It's a special hair towel that really sucks the excess water from porous hair. Next put in a styling product. Whether it's a volumizer or a smoothing serum, it will protect the hair from blow drying & finish off your style. Now with a paddle brush or with your fingers, blow dry hair until it feels dry. If you want to unbend cowlicks or make hair smoother, use a wrapping motion with hands or brush. Just simply use the head to wrap hair around the shape of it. Wrap hair one way and then the other on the front, back & sides. When the hair feels dry use your brush (round, paddle,vent, etc.) to smooth or add volume. A hair dryer and brush is just like a flat iron or a curling iron. It starts to work when the hair is dry. Don't wear yourself out trying to get the style in before this point. Now the hair will be for sure dry & the style will last much longer than if even a minute amount of moisture is left in the hair. If the hair still has some fluffy's, set the temperature of the dryer to cool & this will lay them down. Finish off with hair spray & a shine spray & viola! Enjoy that blow dry!:)
