How to straighten hair with a hairdryer?

A hair dryer is a universal device that is used for styling and drying hair. It helps to add volume to the hairstyle, as well as quickly straighten curly hair. What methods of straightening at home exist and how to quickly straighten hair with a hairdryer, you will learn from this article.

Hairstyle plays a significant role in the overall image of the fair sex. Groomed, dull hair sticking out in different directions has never been added to the attractiveness of anyone. But a beautiful and neatly styled hairstyle can decorate any look. The best assistant to make your hair look neat, but at the same time, and voluminous will be a hair dryer.

In order to beautifully lay the strands, you will have to try. First of all, the quality of styling will depend on which hair dryer you use. When choosing a device, pay attention to the following parameters:

• Power. If you have short hair, then a 400-800 watt hair dryer will do. For long ones, a more powerful hair dryer is required - 1600-1800 watts.

• Air supply mode. Usually, two modes are enough - hot air, which will model a curl or volume at the roots, and cold - for better fixation of the hairstyle, but ideally, there should also be a supply of warm air for normal hair drying.
• Nozzles. A hairdryer should come with at least three nozzles - a concentrator (a narrow slot-like nozzle for directing a jet of air), a diffuser (for girls whose hair is naturally wavy or as a result of a perm) and brushing (a large round brush to create curls and volume) .

Of course, it is best to dry your hair naturally, without using a hair dryer. But sometimes there is not enough time in the morning, so a hair dryer comes to the rescue. Modern devices are quite powerful, but at the same time they are very delicate to the hair.

The design of modern hair dryers is much more complicated than their predecessors, as they are equipped with high-tech features. Among these technologies:

• Ionization. The air jet from the hair dryer coats the hair with positively charged particles that prevent electrification. In addition, this technology attracts moisture from the air, which prevents the hair from drying out too much.
• Ceramic elements provide gentle infrared heating that dries hair more thoroughly and gently. The ceramic-coated brush heads gently detangle your hair as you dry it. This makes them especially smooth and gives an extraordinary shine.

• Color protectors. The special nozzle creates streams of cold air in the middle of warm air. This technique prevents hair color loss.
• Logic fan. This special feature provides a precisely calibrated flow of evenly heated air.
• Superfans. Hair dryers with this feature provide 50% more efficient air circulation. Add to that 2500W of power and your hair will dry twice as fast.

After you have washed your hair, the strands must be prepared for styling:

• To do this, dry your hair with a stream of warm air without using a nozzle. Do not overdo it, because both on too dry and wet hair a beautiful hairstyle will not work. The ideal option is slightly damp strands.
• The next step is to apply any styling product, such as foam or mousse, to dried hair. With a comb, evenly distribute it along the entire length. Thus, you can fix the styling for a longer time.
• If you have short hair and just want to give it a little volume, dry it with hot air, directing the hair dryer right under the roots. It is best to use a concentrator nozzle for this purpose, although you can do without it. If the hair is very short, then you can give it volume by simply combing it against growth and at the same time directing a hot stream of air under the roots.

• Now that the hair is dry, just a few finishing touches are left and your hairstyle is ready. For example, you can highlight individual strands with wax. If you have bangs, then curl it a little to make it look more voluminous. And only after all this, sprinkle your hair again with medium or strong hold hairspray so that the hairstyle lasts as long as possible.

Knowing how to blow-dry, you can create a beautiful hairstyle on your head in 10-15 minutes and give your hair an expressive volume. The most important thing is not to use the hair dryer too often, otherwise you may face the problem of dry hair.

Do not use the hot air of a hair dryer to dry. It is best to use cold air. This step is very important for giving volume and stability. First you need to stretch your hair with a brush and douse it with warm air from a hair dryer.Then wrap it around the brush again and blow it with cold air. Leave the brush stationary for a few minutes. For chin-length hair, use a round brush with a diameter of at least 6 centimeters. Brushes with small heads create curls rather than volume.

The hold hairspray is the perfect finishing touch for a secure structure to your hairstyle. A large amount of varnish can burden fine hair. It is better to lift individual strands up and apply varnish on the side at their base.

The secret of straight hair is in the technique of drying them. Even thin and straight hairs become slightly wavy after natural air drying. The best way to straighten them is to blow-dry your hair while brushing it strand by strand.

For short hair, a round brush is useful. It should be used as a kind of curlers, heating the strands wound around it with a hair dryer and carefully unwinding and straightening them under the influence of the warm air of the hair dryer. For long strands, we recommend using a flat brush. However, the technique remains the same.

After you've put in so much effort to straighten your hair, you'll want to keep it in that great shape for as long as possible. Of course, it would be ideal not to leave the house at all and not expose the hair to the external environment, such as rain or wind. But this is almost impossible, so an alternative solution may be a varnish to give elasticity. Use it to keep your strands straight from morning to evening.In addition, such a varnish will give them shine and will not weigh them down.

The most important rule for a neat and beautiful hairstyle is careful preparation. If during the procedure you move a lot, for example, look for the necessary tools, then the whole structure may be broken. Before the hair straightening procedure, it is necessary to prepare:

• the hair dryer itself;
• brush or comb;
• clamps for fixing individual strands;
• cosmetics that will help consolidate the final result.

After preparing all the tools, you can directly proceed to straightening. Performing it step by step, you can achieve a beautiful smooth styling:

• Initially, you need to wash your hair with shampoo. A volumizing shampoo is best. Then dry the strands a little with a towel.
• Comb the strands with a comb, it is better if it is with rare teeth. The combing procedure must begin with the tips.
• Gently apply a high-quality fixative to still damp hair. You can use gel or mousse. After applying the selected product, the curls will become even more obedient. It is better to choose a tool that has only positive reviews.

• Separate one strand, and fix the rest with hairpins. With one hand, you need to bring the brush directly under the strand and gradually pull it out under a stream of air. Combing the hair, at the same time pull the strands from the roots. At the ends, you need to bend the hair a little.
• We fix the result with varnish weak fixation.

When you choose a tool for fixing the created hairstyle, you need to decide what kind of effect you want to achieve, it is also important to select the tool for the type of your curls.For thin, it is better to choose products with minimal or medium fixation. As a rule, there are numbers from 1 to 5 on foams and varnishes, indicating the level of fixation, where 1 is the minimum and 5 is the maximum. Products with a maximum level of fixation are more suitable for heavy, naughty, as well as curly hair.

Foam is suitable for creating hairstyles on normal hair of medium length. For long curls, it is better to use gels and sprays. For unruly strands, choose mousse. For short and dry hair, it is better to use wax.

Foam will help to make your hair voluminous and model your hair the way you want. With the help of a spray, you can add volume to thin strands. Wax creates a visible modeling effect. Gel is best for creating the effect of wet hair. The main job of the varnish is to fix the hairstyle and keep it in this state, despite the wind, moisture and other factors. It must be admitted that of all the listed products, hair foam and varnish are the most popular.
