How to blow dry your hair after washing so it doesn't become frizzy? Blowout sequence from root to ends

Rough drying flattens roots and frizzes ends. A practical order for towel-drying, sectioning, airflow direction, heat setting and dryer distance.

The way you blow-dry your hair after washing your hair will affect the volume of your hair roots, the flow of your hair, and the neatness of your hair ends. The point is not to use the highest temperature to blow it out quickly, but to absorb water first, divide it into sections, and then organize it in the desired direction.

Correct blowout sequence can help reduce frizz and curls

The first step is to absorb excess water.

Wrap your hair with a towel and press it gently without rubbing it back and forth. Blow-drying while your hair is still dripping is not only time-consuming, but also prone to blowing the same area with high heat over and over in a panic.

Blow your scalp and hair roots first

Use your fingers to spread the hair roots to allow wind to enter the inner layer; keep the hair dryer at an appropriate distance and keep moving. Bangs, parting lines and areas that tend to curl up should be dealt with first. It will be more difficult to change the direction after they are completely dry.

Follow the hair flow from the middle section to the end of the hair

The wind direction is from top to bottom, and you can use your hands or a comb to arrange it. Do not blow the hair from below. Naturally curly, permed and straight hair require different gestures, so you should ask the stylist to demonstrate the design accordingly.

How do you know if it’s really blow-dried?

Touch the inner layer of the hair roots and the back of the head with your hands to make sure there is no cold moisture. Sleeping with wet hair can easily cause tangles and indentations, and will also make your scalp damp for a long time.
