In general, there are different types of brushing. Wavy, smooth, curly or voluminous. Yet blow-drying in its simplest form represents classic hair-drying using a hair dryer.
Let's now review the best tips and techniques to easily succeed in blow-drying, whatever its type.
Brushing is a hair technique known for a long time
Tips for a successful brushing for women
Work in sections
A crucial tip for successful brushing is to divide the hair (eg using clips) and thus work in sections. To do this, make sure to brush your hair well before separating it.
Separate the hair into small sections to work more easily and precisely
Opt for a suitable brushing product
In order to protect your hair, it is also recommended to use a suitable product. Brushing creams are for example a rather pleasant solution. They protect the hair fiber from heat while nourishing them. In addition, a large part of them have an antioxidant and smoothing action. Also on this point, pay attention to the type of hair dryer used. To avoid static electricity, it is better to give preference to ionizing models.
Don't forget to apply the thermal protection before the first drying of the hair
80% dry hair
Normally, before blow-drying, it's a good idea to gently towel dry your hair and then air-dry or blow-dry it. Whether it's for a wavy or smooth blow-dry, wait until your hair is about 80% dry before introducing your brush into the process. This is necessary because wet hair is very fragile and can therefore be damaged if you go directly to brushing.
The first tip for a successful hair adventure is to pre-dry your hair to 80%
How to blow-dry: the essential tools
Even if the know-how and the techniques largely determine the success of the ideal brushing, the essential tools are all the more important for the mission. Moreover, you do not need an imposing arsenal of products and professional devices to obtain a satisfactory result. You just need to equip yourself with the basic tools.
Quality hair dryer
At high power, with different heat settings and the cold air function. The concentrator tip is also necessary for the proper realization of the brushing and also to prevent too close contact between the hair and the heat.
For a satisfactory result, it is essential to equip yourself with the right tools and products.
Hair clips
A superb ally to keep the different sections of hair separated.
round brush
This tool is essential for straightening strands, shaping ends and creating waves, for example. Also pay attention to the size: the larger it is, the shorter the drying time. What's more, don't neglect the material used either. If possible, opt for a model made of wood and natural bristles because they are less aggressive to the hair.
There are different types of brushing: smooth, wavy, voluminous
