How to Dry Longer Bob Hairstyles

Long bob styles dry well with a hair dryer.

Air dry or blow dry is one of the age old questions women face each morning as they decide how to style their hair for the day ahead. Some women are born with naturally perfect hair that air dries to perfection while everyone else is born with hair that requires a bit more maintenance each day. For those with longer bob-style cuts, drying your hair requires a certain effort to keep it looking fresh and stylish.

Things You'll Need

• Leave-in conditioner
• Medium round brush
• Hair dryer
• Flat iron
• Flexible hold hairspray

Instructions

1. Spray a leave-in conditioner in your hair prior to drying it and brush it through. This protects your hair from the heat of your hair dryer.

2. Clip all of your hair to the top of your head with the exception for the 2 inches of hair at the bottom of your head.

3. Place a medium size round brush underneath one section at a time of the hair you left down. Pull the hair outward with the brush and blow dry that section completely. Use a regular hair dryer or one with a directional nozzle on the end. Use the medium or high level of your hair dryer for faster drying.

4. Turn the hair dryer to the cool setting for one quick dry after each section of hair is completely dry. This locks in the smoothness of your hair.

5. Let down one section of hair at a time to blow dry until you have dried your entire head of hair.

6. Run a flat iron over each section of your hair once your entire head of hair is completely dry; fit a medium section of hair into the flat iron at a time. Hold the iron tightly while using a vertical motion to pull it along each section of hair.

7. Spray a light mist of flexible hold hairspray over your hair when finished.
