So, let me summarise the 8 Common Problems with “The Home Blow Dry” 1. YOU DON’T HAVE A GREAT DRYER! Let’s start at the very beginning: Investing in a high-quality drying tool is important, especially if you have a lot of hair or you’re blow-drying your hair often. If you have thick hair, you’re probably damaging your hair more with a cheap blow-dryer as opposed to investing in a great one that will protect your hair and blow-dry it quicker, Expensive dryers tend to come with hair-saving smart features like high power, multiple heat settings, a cool shot, and ionic air technology. The last one helps with frizz, creates shine, and minimizes blow-dry time. The technology in ionic hair dryers helps break down water molecules faster, which makes the hair dry faster. The less time your hair is under heat and the more control you have over the temperature, the healthier it will be. 2. YOUR SPENDING TOO LONG WITH YOUR HAIR WRAPPED UP IN A TOWEL! After getting out of the shower, women tend to leave their hair in the towel for like 30 minutes. A cotton-based towel causes friction on the hair, and it's more prone to damaging the strands to the point where the hair breaks off. The best thing for your hair’s health is actually letting it air-dry before blow-drying. Hair is in its most vulnerable state when wet, so allowing it to air-dry is always the healthiest option. Make sure to dry your hair according to your texture. Fine-to-medium hair can air dry a bit longer, to about 80 percent dryness, whereas thicker hair should only be about 50 percent dry before blow-drying. That’s because you have a better chance of getting curly or full hair straight, while it’s still a little damp. If you have curly or wavy hair and want to enhance your natural texture, add product when it’s very wet, squeeze out the excess with your hands, and wrap it up gently in a microfiber towel or t-shirt. Once your curls stop dripping, you can start blow-drying. Due to space restrictions I’ll cover the next 2 problems tonight. #ellenshairtips #ech #wellahairuk #showyouroots #visithyndland #westendhairdressers #hyndlandhairdressers #mastersofcolour (at Ellen Conlin Hair & Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KFSX0FTcX/?igshid=1j040li4aadkq
