What Are The Secrets Of A Salon Blow Dry?
Unless you are naturally blessed with thick straight hair, it can be really difficult to achieve that ‘just stepped out of the salon’ look at home, no matter how many products and styling tools you use. So just what are the secrets of the salon stylists, and is it really possible to achieve the look without some extra help? Here are some tips and tricks from the top!
Prepare your hair first
After your shower, gently towel dry your hair, but do not rub, as this will cause it to frizz. Then apply some form of heat protection, such as a spray or a mousse, to help create a barrier and prevent excess heat damage. Comb the product through from roots to tip.
Straight hair will blow-dry with more volume if it is left to air dry for longer, but if you want to smooth out curls, get going while it’s still very wet.
Use a good quality hairdryer
The type of hairdryer really does make a difference. Cheaper versions tend to have a low pressure and higher heat setting, which takes longer and causes more damage to your hair. It’s worth investing in a powerful dryer with a nozzle to help direct the heat to one section of the hair at a time.
Section your hair
Use clips to section off your hair, so you can focus on drying one area at a time, and don’t miss any out. Next, take a rounded brush, and use some tension to wrap a section of the hair and pull it straight. Hold the nozzle parallel to the brush, and maintain the tension until the hair is dry.
Finish on a cool setting
If your hair dryer has a cool shot button, use it to seal the hair cuticles, as this will help the smoothness to last for longer. Add the finishing touch with a spritz of shine spray, and you are all set!
