Drying your hair with a hairdryer and keeping it healthy and shiny is quite possible.
The main thing is to follow this advice.
After washing, curls are especially vulnerable. Shampoos raise hair scales, so they become a convenient target for the aggressive effects of hot air, metal and other irritants. As a result, hair can become brittle and dull. How to avoid overdrying and burning your hair? How to dry your hair with a hairdryer correctly?
Don't dry your hair right away
Don't start drying it right away when you get out of the shower. It's better to wrap it in a towel and walk around like that for about 15 minutes. During this time, excess liquid will be absorbed into the fabric - and you won't have to dry your hair for a long time.
Don't rub with a towel
Avoid vigorous rubbing of your hair with a towel. Just tie a "turban" and walk around the apartment with it for a while.
Use heat protection
Don't forget to use a heat protection spray every time. It forms a protective layer around the hairs and thus protects them from damage.
Keep your distance
The distance from the hair dryer nozzle to the curls should be at least 20 centimeters (more is better).
Choose the right temperature
Try to use the hottest mode less often. The temperature should be comfortable for your hand – the air should not burn your skin.
It is desirable that the hair dryer's air power and temperature are regulated separately. This will help you choose the optimal combination yourself.
Use a concentrator attachment
The concentrator nozzle is a more than necessary thing. It allows you to direct the air flow exactly where it is needed most.
For example, thoroughly dry the roots of your hair without overdrying the ends.
Also, without this attachment it is almost impossible to create a neat hairstyle – the hair will simply fly in all directions.
Drying direction
To make your hair smooth and shiny, you need to dry it in only one direction – from the roots to the ends.
This allows you to close the hair "scales" and keep the moisture inside. If you neglect this rule, the curls will become too fluffy and quickly lose their elasticity.
"No" to metal combs
Never use a comb with metal teeth. The fact is that metal quickly heats up and damages the curls.
Be sure to replace it with a wooden or plastic one. Or use a brush made of natural bristles.
Don't dry it completely
Leave the ends a little damp - they will not split.
Fix with cold
At the end of drying, blast your hair with cold air (there is a special button on the hair dryer). This will help fix the styling and make the hair more elastic.
