Although, perhaps, every woman at least once in her life dried her hair with a hairdryer, not everyone did it right. It turns out that this common nursing procedure should take place in accordance with some rules.
Drying Features
To properly dry hair after washing, it is enough to adhere to several specific rules and not abuse the use of this device. If you often treat your head with a hairdryer, in addition at high speeds and with high temperatures, the curls will weaken, fade and even begin to split. While self-processing curls, it is important not to forget that they must dry out first, which will help blotting with a towel and getting rid of excess moisture.
You can also blow dry your hair but the device must be of high qualitysupplying not too hot air, and its use should occur only when necessary.
It is important to remember that before using the hairdryer, you still need to comb the curls.
Despite the fact that experts do not recommend doing this with wet strands, drying the matted hair will be more fatal. Hair styling in this case will definitely not work, and the hairstyle will most likely have to be untangled for a long time. It is better to choose a comb from natural materials, as well as give preference to models with rare teeth.
It is better to choose a hair dryer that has the ability to change the air supply speed.
Rules for using a hair dryer
One of the first rules for using a hairdryer is prohibition of activation of the maximum temperature immediately after switching on. Such an action can spoil not only the unit itself, but also harm the hair.
Moreover, the frequent use of hot air contributes to the appearance of dandruff and irritation of the scalp.
The first 5 minutes of use, it is recommended to use medium mode, then switch to the maximum, and complete the procedure with either medium or minimum temperature. It is necessary to hold the device itself so that between 15 and 20 centimeters is saved between it and the hair. A shorter distance will lead to an overdry of the curls, and a larger one will simply prevent the head from drying out properly.
If the hair is long and thick, then during long-term drying it is recommended to take five-minute breaks during which the hair dryer turns off and the hair is covered with a towel.
Do not use styling products until the curls have cooled.. In the case when a nourishing mask is used immediately after washing the hair, it is worth waiting about 15 minutes before drying.
Getting ready to use a hair dryer, it makes sense to divide the entire pile of hair into several small zones and process one after another. Such preparation will allow not only quick and high-quality drying of the whole head, but also improve ventilation and even straighten strands slightly. Processing should begin from the forehead, moving to the temples and the central zone.
When processing one zone, the rest for convenience can be fixed with a hairpin.
For thermal protection of hair, it is worthwhile to apply a special tool.
If we are talking about a spray, then the liquid is sprayed onto the already combed curls in the direction from the top of the head to the ends of the strands, and the serum with lotion will need to be pre-ground in the palms and distributed with bare hands.
It is very important to dry your head so that the air movement matches the direction of hair growth.
If you use the opposite direction, then the scales will begin to split, and the tips will split. The device needs to be held in the "main" hand, that is, if a person is right-handed, then he dries with his right hand. To create additional volume, you can lift the locks at the roots and pull them slightly, moving to the tips.
