How to Style Hair with a Hair Dryer
Learn how to style hair with a hair dryer and a brush. Mastering this technique has you looking great in no time. That means more time for you and less hurrying to get ready.
First: Get the Proper Equipment
Investigate various hair dryers to find the one that's best suited for your type of hair and hairstyle. Buy one with variable speeds and heat settings to help when you are styling your hair. Purchase a hairbrush that has a metal barrel. The barrel gets heated by the blow dryer and this helps you in styling your hair.
Second: Prepare to begin
After you wash your hair, using an absorbent towel, blot out as much excess water as possible. Do not rub your hair with the towel, just blot it. Select the product you are going to use to style your hair. Apply it and massage it into your hair. A leave-in conditioner is an option here, and this will help prevent damage to your hair due to the heat of the hair dryer.
Third: Drying and Styling
Beginning at the back of your head, dry your hair in small segments. Pull the brush through your hair carefully from the base to the ends to achieve a straight hair style. For waves or curls, gently wind your hair around the brush and point the hairdryer on it while the barrel of the brush gets hot. To set the curl, blow the hair use the cool setting for a few seconds, then keep the hair woven around the brush for another minute until the barrel is cooler. Repeat this process on the sides of your hair, then finish with the top. After your hair is totally dry, brush it into the style you want, then finish it off using hair spray or another product to maintain the look.
