Hairdryer
Waiting for natural hair drying is a great luxury for women, so using a hair dryer is a must. You can wash and dry your hair every day if you follow certain rules:
choose a good hair dryer;
adjust the temperature;
control which comb you use when drying.
I advise you to use the gadget on dried hair, if possible. hair is very fragile when wet.
Hair Drying Steps
Do not dry your hair immediately after washing. Use a towel first – wipe off excess water with a dabbing motion.
Apply the right styling according to your hair type and style. Straightening cream for fluffy and curly hair. Moisturizing mousse for straight and fine hair. Any styling “for drying” already contains thermal protection, so there is no need to apply it specially.
Then proceed to drying, keeping the hair dryer at a distance not less than 30 cm from the head… Blow dry from roots to ends (head down).
Dry your hair to the end if you are going to use a styler, iron, brushing, curling iron, etc. after that.
When choosing a hair dryer pay attention to the fact that the device is equipped with a healthy drying system – this process spares the hair due to a maximum temperature of 57 degrees. Temperature and air flow rates will help prevent breakdown of hair structure, split ends and protect against overheating. However, hair dryers with a lot of functions are often bulky and heavy, so it is not always convenient to take them with you on trips.
Irons
Straighteners are a common way to combat frizzy hair and create long-lasting curls. I do not mind the frequent use of irons, but make sure that no steam comes from the hair when styling Is a clear sign of damage to the structure. Therefore, the hair must be absolutely dry! The curls should not be hot, but warm – this is called “gentle styling”, which can be safely done several times a week. However, do not forget about hair care products, apply thermal protection every time! Particular attention should be paid to this issue for owners of thin and fragile hair.
Pay attention to the tourmaline-coated irons with steaming effect – these are safety and quality markers for your hair. You need to use the straightener smoothly and measuredly, without lingering on the strands.
Curling irons
Hair is spoiled not by a curling iron or a straightener, but by a high temperature, so girls need to carefully monitor the degree regime. As for protective products, here I would advise you to pay attention to styling and thermal protection products – this will help not only protect the hairline, but also prolong the durability of styling.
The most important thing in curling irons is the material from which the heating plates are made. Ceramic are considered the safest, because they distribute heat evenly. Often more tourmaline particles are added to such plates to create ionization. Remember: the device must have a regulator for switching the temperature mode. Do not curl wet hair and do not hold the curling iron for more than 10 seconds.
If possible, try not to dry or heat your hair every day, since in any case mechanical action is stress for the hair.
