How to Blow-Dry Hair

Blow-dry your hair to obtain a desired, healthy hairstyle that will be the envy of others. Use proper care when blow-drying hair to prevent damage. Limit the amount of heat and distribute it evenly throughout the hair to prevent split ends and burnt-out-looking hair.

Things You'll Need

• Hair dryer
• Brush
• Electrical socket
• Comb

Instructions

1. Comb the hair thoroughly before blow-drying it. Combing the hair will untangle most of the hair and make it easier for the brush to gently glide through the hair.

2. Part your hair down the middle or to one side to keep it out of your face while drying.

3. Plug the hair dryer into an electrical socket. Turn it on and adjust to the desired temperature.

4. Choose a flat or rounded brush. Hold the brush in one hand and the hair dryer in the other.

5. Place the brush under a section of hair at the roots. Start by drying at the roots of your hair and glide the brush slowly down to the ends of the hair with the dryer following the path of the brush.

6. Move the brush and hair dryer to different sections of the hair to keep the heat evenly distributed. Stop when all the hair is completely dry.

7. Unplug the hair dryer and put it away after it has cooled down.

Tips & Warnings

• Run the brush quickly through thin hair when blow-drying to prevent hair damage.

• If you are having difficulty drying the underneath hair at the base of your neck, hang your head upside down before placing the brush at the roots. Blow-dry the underneath hair in this position.

• Never leave a hair dryer on if not in use. If the hair dryer gets too hot, it could start a fire.

• Never plug the hair dryer into a socket if your hands are still wet. This could cause an extremely bad shock.
