The Prep before Blow Drying
Step 1. Brush your Hair
The first step to getting salon-worthy hair at home is to brush your hair before going to shower. It is important to detangle the hair knots before a shower as it will help to further avoid frizz and tangles. Use Vega paddle hair brush and start from the hair tips and move upwards towards the roots. Run the brush through the scalp to equally distribute the oil and for aiding conditioning.
Step2. Wash and Condition
Next, it’s time to wash the hair for ensuring you get a smooth hairstyle look, a clean and oil-free scalp is a must. Always wash your hair using cold water and using mild shampoo. Rinse the scalp using plain water followed by a conditioner. Take a few drops of conditioner and apply only on the hair tips. Leave the conditioner for some time and then rinse with cold water.
Step3. Allow the Hair to Dry
Since we can’t detangle the wet hair then it is best to leave it alone till it doesn’t get dry. You can use a soft t-shirt or a towel to air dry your hair and wait for some time. Once your hair is partially dry, use a wide teeth comb and gently run through the hair to get rid of snags and tangles.
All about the Blow Drying Process
- Before you start using a hair dryer for blowdrying hair, it is important to protect the hair from heat damage. Take a heat protectant spray and apply it on the hair tips which will coat your hair with a protective sheath and offer much needed shine to the mane.
- Detangle the hair using a hair brush and divide the mane into different sections. Take equal hair sections and roll them up with the hair-clipping pin. Once hair sections are safely clipped, leave one hair section free and start drying the hair using a hair dryer.
- Set your heat settings right as per the hair styling requirements. If your hair is thick and voluminous then you can set the heat/speed settings to medium and for flat and thin hair, you can use low heat/speed settings for getting smooth and shiny hair. Moreover, if your hair dryer has a cold shot button then you can use it to seal the hairstyle look in place. For the best blow drying results, we suggest using Vega 2400W Hair Dryer that gives powerful styling results.
- Decide the look of your blow-dry. For example, if you wish to flaunt curls then you can use a round hair brush while blowdrying to add waves on the hair tips. Wrap the hair sections around the Round Hair Brush and run the heat on the strands.
- If you want to flaunt a naturally straight hair look then you can use the same hair brush to pull out the hair sections and use the dryer from the roots to the tips.
- To use the hair dryer the right way for getting maximum shine and long-lasting results, take one hair section at a time. Place the round brush under each section near the roots and rotate the brush outwards and away from the face while moving slowly down the hair shaft.
- After drying each hair section, ensure to separate the hair section from other parts. Move on to the next hair section and ensure using the round brush to lift hair volume and rotate the brush forward and towards the ends.
- Now remove all the clips and shake the hair. For fixing the hair in its place, use the cold shot button of the hair dryer and apply a hair spray for sealing the look and avoid curls becoming flat.
And that’s all! This is how you can style your hair with the help of Vega Hair Dryer without stepping out of home and get to flaunt smooth, shiny, and bouncy hair.
