Drying and blow-drying women's short hair can be demanding processes that require skill and patience. With the right technique, you can achieve a look that will last all day.
The first step in drying hair is choosing the right tool. For short hair, it is recommended to use a hair dryer at low speed and high temperature. This will help dry your hair quickly without damaging it too much. It is also important to use the right type of brush. For short hair, use a small straightening brush or styling brush.
Before drying your hair, apply a protective hairspray. This will help protect your hair from the heat of the hair dryer and other harmful elements. You can also use a conditioner or other product for extra protection and shine.
When you start to dry your hair, start at the top part of your hair. Lift your hair up and dry it from root to tip. Continue doing the same with each section of hair until all hair is dry.
Once you've finished drying your hair, it's time to blow dry it. For short hair, use a small straightening brush or styling brush. Take smaller sections of hair and start twisting the ends inward or outward. When you dry your hair inward, it will make it look softer and more feminine. On the other hand, drying your hair outward can create a more expressive and modern look.
When drying your hair, be careful not to use too much heat or too much pressure on your hair. It can cause hair breakage and hair damage. Also, use quality styling products that will help you achieve your desired look and durability, which is something we always avoid at DS Power Beauty Salon.
Preparation for drying and brushing
Before you start drying and blow-drying your hair, it's important to prep your hair. First, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to remove dirt and soften your hair. After washing, use a towel to absorb excess water from the hair, but do not rub the hair, as this may damage it. Instead, gently press the hair down with a towel.
After absorbing the excess water, apply a protective hairspray that will protect your hair from the heat generated by the hair dryer. This is very important to prevent hair damage.
Hair drying
Before you start brushing, it is important to first dry your hair with a towel. If you have time, let your hair dry naturally while you do other things. If you don't have time, use a hair dryer to dry your hair while brushing.
When you towel dry your hair, divide your hair into sections. Take a small section of hair and dry it with a hair dryer, holding the hair dryer about 10cm from the hair. Always direct the air from the dryer downwards, from root to tip, for maximum volume and softness. Repeat this process until you dry all of your hair.
Hair drying
When you've finished drying your hair, it's time to dry it. Before you begin, make sure your hair is completely dry, as moisture in your hair can damage it and lead to split ends.
Use a round hairbrush while drying your hair. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the brush, placing the hair dryer behind it. Hold the brush in one hand and the hair dryer in the other, and hold them about 5 cm from the hair. Focus on the ends of the hair and hold the brush for about 5 seconds at the end before releasing the hair. Repeat this process for each section of hair, focusing on one section at a time. When you reach the top of your hair, lift the hair around the brush and direct the dryer towards the roots while slowly pulling the brush down.
If you want more volume, blow dry your hair upwards, rotating the brush upwards as you move towards the hair roots. Hold the brush and the hair dryer behind while moving upwards, focusing on the roots of the hair.
When you are done drying all of your hair, remember to use cool air on the hair dryer to close the hair cuticles for smooth, shiny hair. Also apply a small amount of hairspray to hold the hair in place.
5 tips for drying long hair
We are going to reveal some of the most important things to keep in mind when blow-drying and blow-drying long hair.
1. Preparation of the hair before drying
Before you start drying your hair, it is important to prepare it for the procedure. This includes washing your hair thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner, to remove any residue from styling products and other impurities. The conditioner will help keep the hair moisturized and make combing easier after washing. If you have curly hair, use a special curl-defining product to help hold the curls in place while drying.
2. Use protective hairspray
Hair drying and brushing can be harmful to the hair if proper hair care products are not used. Before drying, use a protective hairspray that will protect the hair from the heat of the hair dryer and prevent split ends. A protective spray will also help keep your hair smooth and shiny.
3. Choose the right hair dryer
When choosing a hair dryer, pay attention to the power and speed of drying. For drying long hair, a hair dryer with higher power and higher drying speeds is recommended. If you have curly hair, use a diffuser on your hair dryer to hold the curls in place. Also, make sure the handles and other parts of the dryer are large enough for you to easily hold and use while drying.
4. Use the right hairbrush
Choosing the right hairbrush can be key to getting the look you want. To dry long hair, it is recommended to use a round hairbrush. The bigger the brush, the easier it will be to get volume in the hair. To straighten the hair, use a straight hairbrush.
5. Dry hair in sections
Drying long hair in sections will help you achieve even drying and will make it easier to style your hair. Divide your hair into sections and dry them one by one. For this, use a round hairbrush and a more powerful hair dryer. Hold the hair dryer about 10cm from the hair and move downward to avoid damaging the scalp.
