Tips for blow-drying hair
- Use a strengthening shampoo and conditioner
Beautifully styled hair starts with a good foundation: a strengthening shampoo and conditioner. To thicken and strengthen your hair, Kevin Murphy Plumping Wash Shampoo is a great choice. This shampoo nourishes your hair from within and gives it a natural shine. For the best results, follow up with a nourishing conditioner. Waterclouds Volume Conditioner gives your hair extra body and thickness, boosting volume and making it stronger. What’s more, the added grain proteins and sea minerals visibly improve shine and elasticity.
- Use the right hairbrush
Wet hair is very fragile, so after showering, gently pat it dry with a towel instead of rubbing it. After brushing your hair, you can use an anti-frizz spray to prevent frizz and add shine. For example, try Living Proof No Frizz Instant Defrizzer. This spray tames frizz by up to 92%, leaving hair soft, smooth, and shiny.
Next, the best way to blow-dry your hair is with a ceramic brush, such as the CHI Ceramic Blow-Dry Brush. The ceramic material helps distribute heat evenly through your hair. This means your hair dries faster and is easy to style. After use, your hair will be shiny and super soft. A must-have!
- Hair care for more volume
To achieve a shiny, voluminous finish 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. Try a volumizing mousse or spray. CHI Volume Booster Spray is a weightless volumizing spray that adds body and volume while giving your hair a radiant shine. Divide your hair into several sections and spray evenly at the roots. Then comb through your hair to distribute the spray. Blow-dry your hair into shape with a suitable blow-dry brush for the best results. Tip: Don’t apply too many hair products. Using too much product weighs hair down and makes it lose volume.
- Use a good heat protectant
A heat protectant is an essential step in your hair routine when using heat styling tools. SachaJuan Thermal Protection Spray is a great choice! This vegan heat protectant not only protects your hair from high temperatures, but also leaves it smooth and shiny. It also helps prevent color from fading, which often happens after using heat styling tools.
- Use a nozzle attachment
When blow-drying your hair, you can use different attachments, such as the concentrator nozzle and the diffuser. Many of us only use a hair dryer to quickly dry our hair. In that case, the nozzle is often removed. But when styling your hair, the nozzle is really useful! It concentrates the warm air in one spot, helping you style your hair beautifully and prevent frizz.
The diffuser is also a handy tool for blow-drying curly hair. This attachment smooths natural curls and adds volume to your hair.
- Section your hair
To make styling your hair easier, we recommend dividing it into several layers. The number of layers depends on how thick your hair is.
Always start blow-drying with the bottom layer. Style your hair with the appropriate brush, adding another section as you go. This creates a smooth transition and a natural-looking finish. To make it easy to section your hair, we recommend using a rat-tail comb.
- Use hairspray
Now that you’ve finished blow-drying, you’ll want your Brigitte Bardot-style look to last as long as possible. Always use a hairspray after blow-drying. Choose from light, medium, strong, or extra-strong hold. You can also choose a hairspray that adds volume or one that gives your hair extra shine. We have a suitable hairspray for every hair type.
