Sometimes, just the thought of blow-drying hair can make you cringe. Everyone loves a good salon-level blowout, but properly drying and styling your hair on your own time can be a monumental task,\u00a0 and you might not even be using the proper blow-drying techniques! Here\u2019s how to get as close as you can to that salon-styled hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Basics of Blow Drying<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Knowing how to blow dry hair properly is key to achieving that fresh, voluminous style. That starts with having and utilizing the right tools for the job. Give yourself a little leeway on the products, which depend entirely on your hair type, but in general, these are the things you\u2019ll need in your toolbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blow Dryer<\/span><\/h3>\n

You cannot blow dry hair without a blow dryer. However, achieving a good blow-dry is easier — and less damaging to hair — with a high-quality dryer. Especially for those who blow dry their hair often or who have thick hair, investing in a quality dryer is important. Cheap blow dryers might actually cause more damage to your hair<\/a> in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it comes with a price tag of nearly $400, the <\/span>Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer<\/span><\/a> is an investment you\u2019ll thank yourself for later. This hair dryer is specially engineered to protect hair from extreme heat damage, with fast drying and controlled styling to increase smoothness and shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another dryer you can try is <\/span>Drybar\u2019s The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush<\/span><\/a>. This is a round brush blow dryer, and it retails for about $150. It combines the benefits of a blow dryer with the structure of a round brush for a smooth, shiny, voluminous blowout in one step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diffuser\/Nozzle<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s likely that your current blow dryer came with a flat nozzle. That has a purpose! The nozzle can actually help protect your hair from excess heat by concentrating the air in a more precise way. In the end, it\u2019s important to keep it on your dryer to help prevent damage and keep your hair healthier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For curly girls, a diffuser attachment is the way to go. Diffusers help give your natural curls shape, definition, and volume. They also help to reduce frizz incurred in the drying process. Try the <\/span>DevaCurl DevaFuser <\/span><\/a>attachment, which retails for around $50.<\/span><\/p>\n

Round Brush<\/span><\/h3>\n

A brush is key to controlling the style you want as you blow out hair. Round brushes can help you straighten your locks, make ends flip, or create waves with this tool. And for those wanting to know how to dry hair fast, here you go —\u00a0 get a round brush with a bigger surface area to cut down on drying time. Even better, choose a brush with vents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat Protectant Spray<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whenever you use any type of heat styling tool — whether it be a blow dryer, straightener, or curling wand<\/a> — you must use heat protectant spray. This is another key product that will help protect your tresses from excessive heat damage, which has a negative impact on your hair\u2019s health. Don\u2019t forget to spray it on every section, including in the back of your head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hair Clip<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hair clips are important for sectioning hair and holding it back while you\u2019re working from section to section. Additionally, clips help prevent damage from overdrying sections.<\/span><\/p>\n

BlowDrying Mistakes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe you\u2019ve been blow drying your hair for years, but it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ve made at least one of these hair-drying mistakes over time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
