How to style your hair dryer

Styling hair with a hairdryer is quite simple. However, just before the installation itself, it is necessary to recall some rules for working with a hairdryer.

These are the rules:

• In no case should you dry very wet hair with a hairdryer, it is better to dry it with a towel beforehand and only after a while use a hair dryer.
• Before blow drying your hair, it is better to apply a little protective agent (wet spray or hair cream with the effect of thermal protection) to wet hair, this will help to comb your hair better after drying and relieve the effect of electrification.
• For styling, you must definitely use a hair spray, because unlike mousses and foam it penetrates the hair structure faster.
• Drying hair using a hairdryer can only be done with cool or slightly warm air, since high temperature, breaking the structure of the hair, makes them brittle.
• It is not recommended to use a hairdryer daily, hairdressers are advised to do this styling no more than 4 times a week.

Hair styling is done in a variety of ways on medium hair (photo of hairstyles can be seen below).

The simplest and most affordable styling methods:

• To add a little volume to the daily hairstyle, use a round hair brush, on which you should wind the hair and in this position blow dry it with a hairdryer.
• To achieve perfect straight hair styling, curls are wound on the brush, pulling it down a little. You need to blow dry your hair while directing the air flow from top to bottom. Such styling will take a little longer, because you will have to pay attention to the entire length of the hair and especially the tips that are difficult to straighten.
• To create hairstyles with a large volume, styling is done, starting from the very roots of the hair. To do this, combing your hair well, you need to raise a strand of hair near the root system and direct a stream of warm air there. The ends of the hair in such a styling are twisted both up and down, and if desired, left straight.
• Stylists recommend fixing any hairstyle with a strong or medium fixation varnish, depending on how long the hairstyle should last. In addition, after styling, you can use hair gloss.
