How to Get Smooth Hair with Your Blow Dryer

Get perfect smooth hair with these tips.

To begin with, you need to buy a good blow dryer. A good blow dryer can make all the difference. They really are not all created equal.

Weak dryers will take three times as long to get the job done. Some of the cheap dryers can get too hot and burn your hair. Ionic dryers are excellent and won’t burn your hair.

Here is how to get smooth hair:

- First, prepare your hair with a leave-in conditioner and a thermal protection.

- Remove excess water by blow drying your hair. If you try to style on sopping wet hair, it will take you twice as long.

- Divide your hair into 3 to 4 sections, depending on the density of your hair.

- Make one section across the nape, below the earlobes. Your next section can extend from there to the crown of your head or you can divide that in two, including the sides. And your last section is a horseshoe section on the top of your head.

- Start blow drying, using your brush as an extension of your hand. You need to get enough heat on those ends to ensure maximum smoothing.

- Once the first section is dry, go back over it until you are satisfied with the shine and smoothness.

- When you think you’ve dried enough, dry some more. Getting a good amount of heat and brushing to the hair will give you salon-quality smoothness and shine.

- Move on to the next section.

- Once your back and sides are dry, you’re ready for the last section on the top.

- For a more voluminous top, blow dry your roots in the opposite direction you want them to lay. In other words, up and forward, side to side. This will prevent your hair from lying flat.

- At the crown, blow dry those roots forward and up. On the top sides, blow dry to the opposite side your hair will be laying. And at the very top of your head blow dry forward.

- Once the roots are dry, then you can go back and redirect the ends in the direction they need to go.

- If you have bangs, the easiest way to make them lay perfect is to blow dry them side to side and the redirect the ends down, to the side, or however you wish to wear them.

- All that’s left is to use the proper finishing product. This will keep your hair looking and feeling great all day.

Tip: Once hair is dry, tip it forward and give it a blast with cool air.
