A perfect blow dry done from a professional is something that pushes your adrenaline out. You feel much more confident because you feel that your beauty has been enhanced. But, achieving the similar results at home is also possible, if you adhere to right steps. The blow dry can work for a few days. In case, the hair seems to be becoming oily, all you have to do is to put some baby powder over the crown. This powder takes away all the oil. Read carefully all the important points and steps to blow dry your hair.
Difficulty level: Moderate
Time required: 15-30 minutes
Resources required:
A comb with wide teeth
Blow dryer
Hair styling product
Ponytail holders/Clips
Barbar brush
Process:
1. Pick up a powerful dryer
Set the dryer to the hottest range and bring it near the hair cuticle and close it. This way, your hair will shine more. Barbar dryers are not heavy and are good to use at home.
2. Wet your hair
Do not towel dry your hair. Blotting hair is recommended but never rub them. Blotting will take away extra moisture. You can also keep away from frizz. Remember that real wet hair cannot give you a perfect blowout.
3. Apply product to towel dried hair
The essential point to remember is to use a good styling product. Make it sure that you apply this product to each and every hair strand. A leave-in conditioner is meant for those women who have dry hair. Serum can also be used as it makes the hair shine. Do not begin from the hair shafts, but begin from the hair end. After you have coated all your hair with the hair product, comb them.
On the other hand, if your hair are flat, use a hair thickening spray. Bumble and Bumble thickening spray is the best. Keep it in mind that you avoid hair gels.
4. Use a blow dryer
If the hair are still wet than required then switch on to a hair dryer machine. You may also keep them in air to dry them. This is how you can remove excess of moisture.
5. Choose smaller hair sections
Separate hair into smaller sections. Put clips to hold them separately. Matthew Preece is a celebrity hairstylist who recommends separating hair into smaller sections. The other good idea is to wind up hair into two equal buns.
6. Start with your fingers
The hairstylists begin the blowout session with their magical fingers. So, you may also start employing the same method. Take your fingers to the roots of the hair in the very beginning. Then, pull the hair in the outward direction and hold them tight. Now, switch on your dryer and use the air of it. David Dieguez, who is a Manhattan stylist, suggests that the hair should be held super taut so that the moisture can be prevented to attack your hair. If the moisture is present then the hair might look frizzy.
7. Switch on to a round brush
Once the roots get dried up, you may switch over to a round brush. Mixed bristle brush is a good option. Hold the brush and then move it though the hair. Matthew recommends that the nozzle should be pressed on the hair against the hair shaft. This brings in more shine and makes your hair go even smoother.
8. Pull hair super taut
Pull the brush through the dryer, just as in case of pulling it thorough your hair. Pull the hair and extend them in forward direction. This way the tips of your hair will not roll or flip.
9. Use cool air
The final step is to lock up the style permanently. All you have to do is to pull the super taut using a hair brush. Now, pick up the dryer once again, but this time you need to blow out cool air from it. You can use a Velcro dryer for this purpose and keep repeating the process until the hair dries up completely.
10. Apply a serum
In order to make sure that all your hair volume and waves are locked up and gelled up nicely, the final step is to coat them with a quality hair serum or a balm. But, if your hair type is oily, then do not use serum. You can skip this step without any hesitation.
