If you’ve always wondered why your hairstyle easily drops out after blow-drying your hair, it might be because you’re over-drying it. When you remove too much water from your tresses, your strands will seek out the water molecules in the air. Water disrupts the hair bonds that formed during styling, loosening up your ‘do, undoing your hard work.
In short, too much drying can cause severe damage that just can’t be fixed with a hair mask. Here are easy tips on how to properly use a blow-dryer and keep all those heat damage fears away.
#1 Squeeze out excess water from your hair
Before you reach for the blow-dryer, shake off any excess water from your strands. Better yet, use a microfiber towel to squeeze water out of your hair without causing frizz. Be gentle, though! After all, hair is more brittle when it’s wet.
#2 Use the hair dryer attachments
Your hair gets the best results when you use blow-dryer attachments to dry and style your tresses at the same time. Dyson Supersonic comes with three magnetic attachments to achieve beautifully styled hair. Dry hair smoothly and gently with the Dyson Smoothing nozzle, then switch it up with the Dyson Styling concentrator for a sleek blowout, or seal luscious waves and curls with the Dyson diffuser.
#3 Set the right temperature
Believe it or not, you won’t dry your hair quickly by choosing the highest heat setting. Just put the temperature on medium heat and work your way through your hair for best results.
