Common blow-drying mistakes to avoid

Blow drying your hair is an awesome way to give yourself a sleek, smooth hair look in an efficient way. Many people don’t realize, however, that a simple blow-drying mistake could result in a major effect on the hairstyle. Blow drying should occur in stages and need not to not be rushed. Otherwise, the look of the hair will suffer.

Starting While Your Hair is too Wet

You quickly dab your hair dry after washing and then grab the blow dryer? We’ll that’s a mistake, arrange the hair with your fingers or a detangler and then wrap the towel around your head again – in a towel turban for instance. Do your make-up first and then begin blow drying. In the meantime, the towel will soak up the water. That makes blow drying go faster, lowering the amount of exposure to heat and therefore, the stress on your hair.

Not Dividing the Hair into Sections

Blow drying blindly is not the best approach for an outstanding styling result. It’ll be better if you divide your hair into sections and blow dry them one by one. For example, part off sections at the crown, lower back of the head and sides, and temporarily pin the strands back with hair clips. This makes it simpler to manage the amount of hair and lets you pay attention to one section after another.

Holding the blow dryer up too close to the hair

Another way people make mistakes when blow-drying their hair is holding the blow dryer too close to the hair. This will result in some harm to the hair and make it extra hard for you to create a smooth, evenly dried appearance. You should aim to hold the dryer at least eight inches away from your head.

How do you be aware of if you’re getting too close? Well, it is noticeably obvious if your scalp begins to feel hot!

Never pull your hair downward for detangling while using a blow-dryer

Instead, always go for mild strokes. Use a detangler on your hair. The market is full of products that provide a detangling effect. Having used a detangling brush or a spray on your hair, blow-dry it for even better results.

Using an awful lot of force on hair strands, already damaged hair strands, will end in hair breakage.

Over Drying

It’s common sense. Applying more heat than your hair can deal with will leave it severely damaged and brittle. Over drying many times can even cause everlasting damage. You wouldn’t want that so, make sure to take breaks from your blow dryer every now and then!
