Hair Drying Mistakes You Should Avoid

Mistake # 1: Wet hair
Make sure your hair are 65%-70% dry at the time when you start blow drying your hair. Start by towel (or t-shirt) drying, use your hands to untangle and then a brush.

Mistake # 2: You are starting from the wrong end
Don’t wrap your hair around the brush and the use a blow dryer. This blow dry technique is ineffective and takes double the time to get any results. Instead work your round brush from roots to ends. And then back to the roots while keeping your hair dryer focused on your hairline and roots.

Mistake # 3: You are using the wrong brush
Use a big brush to get smoother hair. Avoid round brushes that have metal in the middle as they get very hot and damage the hair. If you already have frizzy or dry hair, best to go for traditional brushes.

Mistake # 4: You are not using the blow dryer’s nozzle
Nozzle is the attachment that comes with every blow dryer. We often forget about it and never use it but that’s where we are wrong. A nozzle helps direct the heat in one area, leaving you with smooth shiny hair.

Mistake # 5: You are not getting volume
To get salon blow dry at home, use your hands to comb your roots and then blow dry. This is an important step if you want add oomph and volume to hair while blow drying.

Mistake # 6: Rushing it and not letting hair set
When blow drying your hair, let the hair strands cool off on the brush. If you will jump to next section quickly, your hair won’t set properly. To get the salon blow dry at home, let your cool down on the brush and then move to the next section.

Mistake # 7: You are not using the after blow-dry spray correctly
Every blow-dry session ends with a hair setter spray being applied. The problem is when we do this at home, we go overboard and spray a lot of product. Using a lot of hair setter spray spoils the look and reduces volume. For voluminous look, apply the spray very little, and only on the roots. If you will apply it on the ends, the hair will fall flat. Also, apply from some distance to allow for even distribution.
