HAVE YOU EVER USED A BLOW DRYER?

  • Don't blow dry your hair haphazardly.
    • This will cause frizz, and defeats the purpose of setting your style
  • ​Use a vent brush when blow drying.
    • This will help give life and form your style.

HOW DO I HOLD IT?

  • Blow dry with purpose
    • ​Push your hair in the desired direction. If you want your hair to lay flat, blow your hair downward. If you want volume, blow hair upward from the root to tip. ​Hold your hair dryer 6-8 inches away from your hair. (Holding the blow dryer too close can burn your hair).

HOT OR COLD AIR?
AND WHAT PRODUCT?

  • Don't keep heat on your hair for too long.
    • ​Always keep the air moving to prevent hair damage.
  • ​Hot and cold settings were made for a reason.
    • ​Hot air opens the hair cuticle, and cold air will set your style in place. The cold air can also add shine and reduce frizz.

​​PRO-TIP: ALWAYS USE PRODUCT!
