How to straighten hair with a hairdryer?

To create some images it is necessary that the hair be straight and smooth. Is it possible to achieve this at home? Undoubtedly, many girls successfully use a hairdryer to smooth out naughty curvy curls. The article will discuss how to straighten hair with a hair dryer.

At the very beginning it is appropriate to touch on the topic of preserving the health of hair. Periodic exposure to high temperatures may affect the condition of the hair and their appearance is not the best way. Therefore, no matter how much you want to get the result as soon as possible, you need to act wisely so as not to overdo it.

• If your hair is thin and loose, then drying and styling should be done at the minimum power of the device. Hair dryers with power up to 1000 W do not heat up too much, they can be used without fear.
• It will not be out of place to have an air ionization function in your hair dryer. In this case, the negative effect on the hairs is reduced.
• Often, in a hurry to do the styling, the girls bring the hairdryer very close to the head. In some cases, this does reduce the time of the procedure a little, but, unfortunately, this is due to a much greater trauma to the hair.
• The appliance must be kept at a distance of 35-40 cm. The more power and temperature of the air flow, the farther it should be.
• Hot air should be directed along the hair growth. Each hair consists of invisible eye scales directed to its tip. If dried in the opposite direction to the roots, these scales, figuratively speaking, "stand on end", because of which the hair becomes brittle.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to hot air. At the end of drying or styling, be sure to switch the device to cool air for 1-2 minutes.

The most affordable hair straightening method at home can be done with a regular comb. Wet strands need to be well combed with a comb and dried, pulling them off with a comb as you grow.

• Comb-brush is not recommended for working with thin and very weak hair. If the hair structure is damaged, thick, stiff bristles can aggravate brittleness.
• Laying with a brush is a bit tedious and takes a little longer. It will take some skill to be controlled at once with two objects (a hairdryer and a brush) during the procedure.
• If your goal is to get straight and voluminous hair, then you should not use a brush during styling. It provides a fairly strong smoothing effect and noticeably removes the fluffiness of the hair.

They must be applied to the strands immediately before the process of straightening and drying. Compositions for thermal protection are presented in various textures and variants: sprays, serums, creams, lotions. You can choose the most suitable option for you.
