The best blow drying tips for your hair

                                           My best tips for healthy blow drying

First always make sure your dryer vents are clean!  If they are dirty and clogged up, it will be harder to get the job done.

• If you start drying your hair with it dripping wet, no wonder it takes forever!  Just turban wrap it up, and do your makeup.  Let the dog out.  Read my blog ;)  Let the towel do most of the work.  Never, ever rub your hair with the towel.  The friction causes frizziness and breakage.  No bueno!
• Wet hair is fragile hair, so take your time when combing out tangles.  Spray in a detangler and use a wide-tooth pick or brush, and work from the bottom up.  DO NOT rush this part, or this is where split ends are born.  Hair that is split in half will create more tangles!
• For volume, apply mousse or root lifting spray.  For a sleek finish use a leave in serum.  Finally, always finish with heat protectant.  It coats the hair with a protective shield from the heat of blow drying, curling and flat ironing.
• Now, onto the blow drying!!  Keep your dryer an arms length away from your hair.  I always tell my clients that I will know by the size of their biceps if they have been following this advice :)  If the dryer feels hot on your hands, it is TOO HOT for your hair!
• Aim the airflow down the hairshaft.  This will make the cuticles lie flat, and ultimately make your hair look smoother and shinier.  Don't hold the nozzle of the blow dryer in the same place for more than 5 seconds-move it, move it, move it lol constantly, to prevent burning your hair.
• If you have bangs, tackle them first.  If you have any cowlicks, which most people do, it will be impossible to get them out once they start drying on their own.  Rotten devils!!
• Next, clip your hair into 4 sections, 2 in front and 2 in back.  Although this step seems like it takes extra time, it actually saves time so that you don't keep drying the same sections.  It also makes it sooooo much easier to use your round brush.  You can also use this same sectioning when you flat iron.
• Now you can apply your finishing products and look FABULOUS DARLING!!!
