Blow drying is a popular hair styling technique that can be used to achieve a variety of styles and looks. It involves using a hair dryer, which blows hot air onto the hair to dry it and create a desired style. Blow drying can be done on wet hair, damp hair, or even dry hair depending on the desired result.

​

To begin the process of blow drying, the hair should be washed and conditioned with products that are appropriate for the hair type. Towel dry the hair to remove excess moisture and then apply a heat protectant spray or serum to help protect the hair from the heat of the dryer.

​

Next, section the hair into small sections and use a round brush or paddle brush to guide the hair as you blow dry. It's important to hold the hair dryer at a safe distance from the hair and to use the lowest heat setting possible to avoid damaging the hair.

​

As you blow dry each section of hair, you can create volume by lifting the roots with the brush and directing the airflow towards the roots. Alternatively, you can create a smooth, sleek style by directing the airflow downwards along the length of the hair while using the brush to smooth out any kinks or tangles.

​

Blow drying can also be used to create curls or waves in the hair by using a round brush to wrap sections of hair around and directing the airflow towards the brush while holding it in place. It's important to use a lower heat setting and to be gentle with the hair to avoid causing damage.

​

Overall, blow drying can be a useful technique for achieving a wide range of hair styles, but it's important to use the proper tools and techniques to avoid damaging the hair. Always use a heat protectant spray or serum, hold the dryer at a safe distance from the hair, and use the lowest heat setting possible.
