Existential Question: Should You Blow Dry?
If you want more control over your hair style, you should use it. If you want more volume, especially if you have very fine hair, yes, you should use it. If you want to dry your hair but you don't believe in towels, yes, you should use the dryer.
The next question is: How to use the dryer? How to maximize your potential and your results or during the process? We are going to answer all of this.
First, wash your hair and dry it with a towel
You don't want the products you used yesterday to interfere with your style today, so you need to wash your hair or at least rinse and condition it. Then dry it with a towel so it's not soaking wet when you start blow drying. You need the hair to be at that point where you would let it air dry, that's when the process of blow drying begins. Also, it is when you should apply your favorite hair products, one of those that work on wet hair such as pastes or creams.
Use a product that protects from heat
The main threat of blow drying is heat damage, and many salons have engineered products that protect hair from this damage (and UV exposure, too). Some work to condition, while others can be mixed with your regular conditioner to do the job. Oribe Balms and Protectants or Living Proof Protectant Spray can be applied prior to blow drying. The first acts as a flexible fixation styler and is suitable for both curly and straight hair, the second can be sprayed on the hair after applying some other product, it works as a protective layer on the hair that prevents it from curling or frizzing .
