Tips for Blow-Drying Hair
- Use a strengthening shampoo and conditioner
Styling your hair beautifully with a blow dryer starts with a good foundation: a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. To thicken and strengthen your hair, the Kevin Murphy Plumping Wash Shampoo is an excellent choice. This shampoo nourishes the hair from the inside out and gives it a natural shine. For optimal results, follow up this shampoo with a nourishing conditioner. The Waterclouds Volume Conditioner gives your hair extra body and thickness, boosting its volume and making it stronger. Plus, your hair gains visible shine and elasticity thanks to the addition of grain proteins and marine minerals.
- Use the right hairbrush
Wet hair is very fragile. That’s why it’s important to gently pat your hair dry with a towel after showering, rather than rubbing it. After brushing your hair, you can use an anti-frizz sprayto prevent frizz and add shine. Check out the Living Proof No Frizz Instant Defrizzer, for example. This spray tames frizz by up to 92% by adding softness, smoothness, and shine to your hair.
Next, it’s best for your hair to blow-dry it with a ceramic brush—such as the CHI Ceramic Blow-Dry Brush. The ceramic material in this brush effectively conducts and distributes heat throughout your hair. This dries your hair faster and makes it easier to style. After use, your hair will be shiny and super soft. You’ve got to have one!
- Hair Care for More Volume
To ultimately achieve a shiny, voluminous look as if you’ve just stepped out of the salon, it’s important to give your hair the care it needs before you start blow-drying. Consider using a volumizing mousse or spray. A weightless volume spray that gives your hair more body and volume—and also provides a radiant shine—is the CHI Volume Booster Spray. Divide your hair into several sections and spray evenly at the roots. Then comb through your hair to distribute the spray evenly. Blow-dry your hair into shape using a suitable blow-dry brush for optimal results. Tip: Make sure you don’t apply too many hair products to your hair. Using too much product weighs down the hair, causing it to lose its volume.
- Use a good heat protectant
A heat protectant is an essential step in your hair care routine when using heat styling tools. The SachaJuan Thermal Protection Spray is highly recommended! This vegan heat protectant not only shields your hair from high temperatures but also leaves it soft and shiny. Plus, it helps prevent color fading, which often occurs after using heat styling tools.
- Using the attachment
When blow-drying your hair, you can use various attachments, such as the standard nozzle and the diffuser. Many of us use the hair dryer solely to dry our hair quickly. In this case, the nozzle is often removed. But when styling your hair with a blow dryer, this nozzle is actually very handy! This attachment allows you to concentrate the warm air in one spot, which helps style your hair beautifully and prevent frizz.
The diffuser is also a handy tool for blow-drying curly hair. This attachment smooths out natural curls and adds volume to the hair.
- Part the hair
To make it easier to style your hair with a blow dryer, we recommend dividing it into several sections. The number of sections you divide your hair into depends, of course, on the thickness of your hair.
When blow-drying, always start with the bottom layer. Style the hair with the appropriate brush, adding a new section at a time. This ensures a smooth transition and a natural-looking result. To easily divide the hair into layers, we recommend using a tail comb.
- Use hairspray
Now that you’ve finished blow-drying your hair, you’ll naturally want to enjoy your Brigitte Bardot hairstyle for as long as possible. That’s why you should always use hairspray after blow-drying. You can choose from light, medium, strong, or extra-strong hold. You can also choose a hairspray that adds volume or one that provides extra shine. We have a hairspray suitable for every hair type in our selection.
