Showing off a perfect hairstyle is the desire of many women, but sometimes it happens that it doesn’t last long. In fact, if you let yourself be pampered by your hairdresser you will surely have a perfect start-fold.
But it can happen that if you dry your hair yourself at home, you may not have a perfect style. Let’s find out how to dry your hair at home by prolonging the styling.
Perfect styling: what to do
Many women are unsatisfied with styling, especially when they do it alone, expectations do not always reflect the final result. Certainly mistakes will be made that can be avoided if you pay attention. It can happen that you have very voluminous and poorly defined hair, or frizzy or even little disciplined hair. A less than perfect style can be caused by:
- using wrong shampoo
- application of too many products
- lack of thermal protector
- brush your hair too much
But we are here to give you all the useful tips to guarantee a lasting and perfect styling. If you have a commitment and want to make your hairstyle or styling last, it is advisable to wash your hair the day before. The reason is simple, if you wash your hair the same day it is unmanageable and oil-free, so it is more difficult for the style to keep well.
Start with the shampoo, wash with specific products and with warm water, never hot because it opens the cuticles making the hair dull and could be frizzy after drying.
The last rinse with cold water is recommended to close the cuticles and make the hair shiny. Then apply the conditioner and rinse well to prevent product residues from remaining in the hair, which could compromise the hold of the style. Before brushing your hair, always remember to pat with a towel, without rubbing the hair because you will only stress the hair fiber.
This operation avoids having frizzy and difficult to manage hair. It is time to brush your hair well but do not forcefully opt for a large diameter brush if you have a voluminous mass of hair. Otherwise, a small brush will be needed to give volume to the skin area and not to the length.
Make the right choice by choosing quality brushes. Facilitate the drying phase by guaranteeing not only a perfect but also lasting styling with products such as foam for wavy and curly hair and not only specific sprays that prevent frizz. Fortunately, there are several products on the market, for each hair choose the right one.
Usually the products are applied directly to damp hair, then left to act for a few minutes and then continue with drying. But we advise you to read the information on the package regarding the method of application. It is important to pay attention to the right products if you want to ensure a perfect styling.
How to dry your hair for perfect hold
You have clearer ideas on how to proceed to have perfect hair, not only the drying phase is important, but also everything that comes before.
It is time to understand how to dry your hair yourself at home, when there is no possibility to go to the hairdresser. If you follow some simple tricks you will be able to achieve a perfect styling at home, even if you are not very experienced. We examine in each case based on the nature of the hair.
- Smooth hair: don’t forget the protector in front of the hairdryer, then set the medium speed and high temperature. The round brush with dense bristles must not be missing, so it will help you during drying. If the hair is voluminous, divide into locks, roll slowly around the brush. Bring the hair dryer close but not too much and then slowly remove the brush letting it fall slowly. In this way the hair will be smooth and silky, the secret is to make continuous rotating movements a bit like hairstylists do. However, do not insist too much on the same lock. After drying, define with the plate.
- Curly hair: apply a mousse or foam, then put the diffuser on the hairdryer, set the speed and medium temperature. Start from the root up to the tips, the less time you spend the better. In this way you avoid that they can dry out and wear out. For a perfect and well-defined curl, dry your hair by collecting the tufts in the palm of your hand, then let go and shake your hair, continue like this for the entire hair. Alternatively, try the plopping technique which guarantees a well-defined and perfect curl, but does not damage the hair either.
- Wavy hair: dry with a hairdryer at medium temperature, divide the hair into sections. position your head at an angle and proceed to dry. Try to define the locks with the plate, roll the first lock around the plate for a few seconds and remove it from the plate. Let the strand fall down and proceed in this way for the remaining strands. You will notice your perfect lock and it will not only last long. Another way to dry well and ensure perfect drying is to use the hairdryer with a diffuser as is the case with curly hair. Proceed in two different ways, try to get the jet of air from the bottom upwards if you want a perfect and voluminous styling. On the other hand, if you let the air flow from top to bottom, you will have a less fluffy hair. Help yourself in both cases with your hands, tighten the curls of the hair in your hands, so as to give it shape. Remember to ensure a perfect effect, the temperature of the hairdryer must always be medium-low, in case it is at the maximum, you risk burning your hair.
Useful and indispensable advice
Regardless of the nature of the hair, we advise you to avoid some small mistakes, so as to guarantee a lasting and not just perfect styling.
During the drying phase you must be careful if you want a perfect hair. Don’t focus on the roots, the final volume will be perfect if you dry evenly without insisting on the roots. Also always apply products that protect the hair from heat. There are several products on the market that help define styling, including anti-frizz sprays. But don’t overdo the quantities.
During drying, avoid brushing your hair too much because it predisposes it to frizz. For a perfect finishing touch, remember to spray the hairspray on the hair to fix it and make it last a long time. Always remember to spray it about 15 cm away from the hair, thus ensuring a longer styling.
