We are all concerned with the amount of heat applied to our hair and how much damage we are doing when blow drying our hair.
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it time and time again from some of my clients. They simply do not blow dry their own hair until they visit me at the salon. This can be up to 6 weeks.
What most of you are unaware of or have not been educated about from your stylist is that although heat can cause damage to your hair, with the correct heat protectant products, holding your hair dryer at the right angle, as well as a great hair dryer, these simple steps can and will eliminate less damage to your hair.
For years I have been guilty of not educating my clients on the simple steps of blow drying their hair while minimizing the damage that heat can cause.
Before I begin asking about their families and events they have attended, I sit them down and discuss their hair problem first. I always include in my consultation the correct shampoo and conditioner, the best suited heat protector and a finishing styling aid.
These few steps will make your hair feel amazing. That is my promise to you. The added bonus is you can use your hair dryer without fear.
Something different if you are feeling adventurous and don’t want the hassle of a dryer and brush. Why not try this for volume and styling your hair.

Keep in mind damaged hair is fragile hair so I would suggest amongst other technologies offered in a hair dryer to look out for infrared.
Infrared infuses heat gently into your hair while infrared heats the up evenly and helps seal moisture inside the cuticle.
This edition of the Amaxy includes a free flat iron which has titanium plates for less damage to your hair.
It’s the perfect combination of a hair dryer and flat iron to finish and lock in your style.
The above hairdryers all have ionic technology in them to remind you this reduces the hairs surface tension leaving your hair less prone to tangle.
Just a gentle reminder that it is important to dry your hair off before you begin styling your hair with a brush. Do not brush your hair when it is wet as it is fragile as mentioned earlier and always use a comb. The rule of thumb is brush dry hair and comb wet hair.
Never try and dry your hair from completely wet to dry. It makes no difference how much technology is in any hairdryer you will simply damage your hair.
I would not suggest you leave your hair to dry naturally either as once water touches the hair it begins to swell thus changing the molecular structure of the hair. This is when the hair is at its most fragile state. Rather give it a quick blast to avoid the hair swelling further.
It is becoming popular to have a 3 speed dryer, but don’t stress if yours is only 2 speed as this is most common. The third speed of the dryer is there to give extra air flow options.
I prefer using one speed to blast and dry the hair off and the other lower speed to style my hair into shape controlling the hair from flying away.
