How to dry your hair

1 Wash your hair. You can use your regular shampoo, but for better blow drying effects and protection, try washing with a moisturizing shampoo This type of shampoo will provide extra moisture that will protect your hair from the effects of the blow dryer.

2 Towel off your hair slightly, just enough to stop the dripping. Don't rub your hair with the towel as the friction causes split ends, frizzy dryness and generally does a lot of damage. Instead, gently wrap the towel around your hair and squeeze, like blotting the water out of your hair. Don't rub too fast or hard, and if you can feel pain or hair breaking, then use your common sense and stop. Your hair doesn't have to be very dry at all after toweling; it just shouldn't be excessively soaked and dripping everywhere.

3 Separate your hair into sections. The bigger the section, the longer it will take to dry. It's best to go for 4-6 sections, but make sure nothing is tangled. If you have thick or longer hair, try using clips to help. If your hair's a bit too short, you may want to just part it into two sections.

4 Start blow drying at the top/roots, about six inches away from your scalp. Maintain this distance throughout, so nothing burns. Never blow dry in an upwards motion, as this causes more damage. Plus, by drying the hair on your scalp, it prevents the moisture from soaking the rest of your hair.

5 Work your way down, and remember to move the blow dryer around.If you simply focus the dryer on one spot for too long it will dry out and burn the hair, rather than simply drying it gently,but if you have more time you can use the medium hit.

6 Brush through your hair gently, or De-tangle it with the De-tangle comb. Always apply a moisturizing,protection cream or oil, serum and brush it through evenly.These will work to keep your locks shiny and smooth, and now, dry, all day long! I like using my GHD irons to create a smooth finish or curls,tasseled hair or just texture.Having in mined that the hair ends need to be cut every 6-8 weeks just to maintain healthy look.
