The process of straightening hair with a hairdryer
A few simple manipulations, a little time and the styling is ready.
Preparing for straightening
At the very beginning, you need to wash your hair using shampoo. It is very important to do this correctly.
- It is better to wash your hair in a natural position in the shower. The hairs are washed with water according to the location of the scales, and they close. After such a wash, the problem of frizz will be less of a concern.
- A tablespoon of shampoo is enough for one procedure. For a better effect, you can even divide this volume in half. First apply one part to oily roots. Thoroughly rinse off all contaminants from the surface of the hair and skin. After rinsing your hair, apply a little more shampoo and massage your scalp for 3-5 minutes to remove accumulated oil from the sebaceous glands.
- Sebum performs a protective function for our hair. When we remove it, we need to offer an alternative. Use a variety of leave-in and leave-on balms. This way your hair will look neat and be less exposed to harmful factors.
- Get yourself some heat protection spray. After all, nothing destroys the structure of hairs more than high temperature combined with physical impact. Collagen proteins, which are responsible for the strength and elasticity of hairs, stretch when straightened with a hairdryer, curling iron or flat iron. And everyone knows how stretched dresses fit the figure. So damaged curls will not decorate any representative of the fair sex. By sprinkling your hair with this product, you will make their life easier and they will easily endure such a traumatic procedure as straightening.
- Prepare everything you need for the styling process: hair dryer, flat comb, styling mousse and fixing varnish. If your hair is thick and long, several clips will come in handy to separate the strands.
Step-by-step instructions for straightening hair
- Lightly dry your hair with warm air. Ideal for work are slightly damp strands.
- Apply heat protection spray and comb through. It is better to use a wide-toothed comb.
- The next step is to use mousse or foam to add volume. You also need to apply and distribute with a comb over the entire length.
- We divide the hair into small strands for work. We secure the main part with hairpins so that it does not interfere.
- Place the strand on the brush and begin to comb slowly from the roots. With the other hand, we direct the warm air flow from the hair dryer following the comb. Repeat several times until the entire strand is dry.
- We dry all the strands in this way, empirically choosing the curl size that is convenient for you.
- To give your hair more volume, lift the strands at the roots with a wide-tooth comb and dry thoroughly. Don't forget that you dry in the direction of hair growth and the location of the scales!
- If desired, you can twist the ends, giving the styling a complete look.
- We fix the result with strong hold varnish. Don't overdo it so as not to weigh your hair down.
ATTENTION! With proper installation and high-quality fixation, no wind or rain will be a problem. In any weather, your hair will lie as it should, and you will feel confident.
Straightening Precautions
To avoid unpleasant surprises after using a hair dryer, follow these styling rules.
- Direct the air stream only along the hair growth.This way they will look more shiny, well-groomed and healthy. During drying, the scales close and block the path for dust and dirt.
- Avoid exposing your strands to too hot air. The straightening process may go faster, but you will dry out and damage your hair. And to restore their original appearance will require expensive care and procedures.
With a little patience and practice, in a short period of time in the morning you can learn how to create a delightful look for yourself for the whole day. If you follow the styling rules and proper care, your hair will be pleased with a healthy shine.
