Heat StylingUsed wisely, your hairdryer is your greatest style ally. Steps Heat Hair Styling How ToAfter shampooing and conditioning, blot excess moisture with a towel. Apply a styling formula such as mousse or gel. Hair should be 50 per cent dry before you start precision blow-drying. Let it grow semi-dry naturally or rough-dry it with a hairdryer. For smooth styles, blow-dry your hair in sections. Pin the top sections out of the way and begin drying underneath, coaxing the hair around a large, round brush. Rotate the brush as you slowly and firmly pull it through the section from roots to tips. For more textured styles, make a spider-shape with the fingers of your free hand and gently massage the roots as you blow-dry. "Scissoring" sections of hair between your fingers from roots to tips styles more smoothly. Keep the drier on medium heat and hold about 10 cm (4 in) to 15 cm (6 in) away from your hair. Aim the nozzle down the hair shafts from the roots to the tips. Use the right attachment for the job. The nozzle of your hairdryer concentrates hot air for quick, sleek, precision styling, The diffuser distributes warm air over a wider area and is ideal for initial "rough" drying or for styling naturally curly or wavy hair. |
