“Speaking of the hair dryer, what I see the most is people simply blowing the air stream without any direction. This can cause breakage, dryness and frizz. With the hair dryer brush, the most common mistake is using the accessory with wet hair, which compromises the entire result and the integrity of the hair fiber”, he explains Thiago Martinshairdresser partner of Vertix.
By correcting some problems in handling and during drying itself, it is completely possible to use thermal tools without damaging the strands too much. Take note of the professional’s advice and learn how to dry your hair properly.
HOW TO DRY YOUR HAIR CORRECTLY
Do not use very high temperatures
To further speed up the hair drying process, many people end up using a hair dryer or brush to dry their hair on very high temperatures. However, although it seems like a good idea at first, this habit can cause a series of changes in the structure of the hair, leaving it fragile, coarse, lifeless, with frizz AND prone to split ends and breakage.
Apply a thermal protectant
The heat emitted by hairdryers, dryer brushes and other accessories can promote the loss of hydration in the hair, making it more vulnerable to destroy it’s at dryness. To protect yourself from this damage, Thiago explains that it is essential use a thermal protector.
“Applying a leave-in with heat protectant to the entire length and ends of your locks will protect them from any damage that heat can cause, while also helping to hydrate and control frizz,” she advises.
Separate your hair into sections
To facilitate the process and achieve the same effect on all hair, dividing it into strands is the trick to perfect alignment.
“First detangle your hair normally by separating the hair in half and then, with the help of a comb or brush, make four divisions. This operation can be carried out with the locks still damp, but never soaked, as drying them all at once and with a lot of water can cause serious problems with the hair structure.and, especially regarding the dryer brush, if you use it when it is very wet, it can burn and break your hair,” says the professional.
Invest in a good electric one
A good electrician makes all the difference in cable results. So whether it’s a hair dryer or a dryer brush, always make sure to do so buy a quality device AND ideal for your hair needs.
“Pay attention to the size and weight, so the handling will always be comfortable. When it comes to power, it is worth analyzing whether the dryer brush is more than 1,000W and the dryer above 1,800 W. Other features worth paying attention to are temperature and the speedI consider it essential that the equipment has cold, hot and warm options and more than one speed, as this will increase functionality and versatility,” advises partner Vertix.
Position the accessory correctly
Martins teaches that when using the dryer, you need to think about this the tool must always point downwards, following the direction of the threads. “If you want the brushed effect, choose a brush suited to the length of your hair to use at the same time, pulling the hair from the root.”
Also, remember to do this Maintain a distance of 15-20 centimeters between the dryer and your hair, since the closer the jet of hot air is, the greater the risk of damaging the hair fiber and scalp. Another detail is that the hot air should not remain in the same place for more than 4 seconds.
And what about the dryer brush? Thiago underlines it the accessory should be positioned at the root of the hair and then simply slide towards the ends. “A valuable tip is to slide very slowly and decisively, but without pulling, this will obtain well-straightened and shiny locks. Once all the locks are finished, pass the brush through the hair again to make them uniform”, he concludes.
