| Choosing
a good hair dryer is essential if you are going to get good
results. Anything less than 1500 watts is probably underpowered.
Aim for the 1500 to 1800 watt range.
Keep the attachments and learn to use them.
The nozzle is key to directing hot air to the right place
when styling your hair.
The diffuser is important for diffusing the
air over a wide area, and for adding volume or waves to the
hair.
1. Make sure you either move your hair or
circulate the hair dryer over your hair to avoid heat damage
from keeping the hair dryer on one specific area too long.
2. Choosing the correct shampoo and conditioner
can have a big effect on your final result. Select a shampoo
and conditioner specifically for your hair type, whether it
is dry or oily, thick or fine, or colored.
3. Towel dry your hair before using a hair
dryer. Droop your head upside down so the hair hangs loose
and run your fingers through your hair as you use the hair
dryer. When the hair is nearly dry use a styling brush. This
method will do much to protect your hair from undue damage.
Wet hair is fragile!
4. Divide your hair into sections when applying
styling aids. Use your fingers or a comb to make sure all
the strands receive even distribution of the styling product.
5. Practice keeping your elbows at shoulder
level and use your wrists and lower arm to move the hair dryer
and hold the brush. This will alleviate aching arms once you
master this technique.
6. To give your hair more body, be sure to
lift the hair from the roots with your styling brush, and
blow against the direction of hair growth. Aim the nozzle
of the hair dryer down the shaft of the hair.
7. Once your hair is completely dry and you
have finished styling, put your hair dryer on the cold setting,
tilt your head forward, and give your hair a blast of cold
air to seal the style. This also helps avoid static.
Ionic and Tourmaline hair dryers are now available
which produce negative ions and allow the hair to dry more
quickly. Additionally these newer kinds of hair dryers add
sheen, shine, and sleekiness to your hair.
