If you’ve being looking for the best method on ‘how to blow dry your hair?’ or are looking for additional ‘blow-drying tips’ then this may be the blow-drying guide you’ve been looking for. We at Tangle Teezer understand the common mistakes that can be made with blow drying hair example:

• It’s easy for poor blow-drying techniques to make your hair look frazzled and dry.

• Blow drying hair should be from root to tip

• Blow drying hair that is already dry

• Using the wrong type of brush when blow drying your hair

• Not allowing your hair to air dry

• Not sectioning your hair before the blow dry

Here’s our 101 guide to your super easy and quick everyday blow-out, all you need to do is arm yourself with a hairdryer and our Ultimate Vented Hairbrush which is Tangle Teezer's very own blow drying brush.

STEP ONE: PREPARING YOUR HAIR FOR BLOW DRYING

• Great hair starts in the shower. Wet hair thoroughly and lather up with your favourite shampoo for your hair type. It’s important you ensure you are using a shampoo ideal for your hair type. If you have smooth hair, long hair, frizzy, fine, dry and more, it’s important you use shampoo that supports your hair type and the current condition of it.

• For a deep cleanse and to rid any build-up of product, draw shampoo through with The Ultimate Detangler and rinse until the hair feels clean.

• Apply conditioner or treatment masque from the mid-lengths of the hair down. Its important conditioner is applied from the mid-section of your hair down as it can clog up your scalp pours which can create an invisible build up. Once conditioner is applied, again, use The Ultimate Detangler to evenly distribute through the hair. Don’t be impatient when conditioning - leave on for the required time.

• When rinsing your hair thoroughly, the difference can be amazing. Stay under the shower head for a good few minutes, not seconds. Use tepid water. Very hot water increases the action of the sebaceous glands and can make hair oily.

 

STEP TWO: TOWEL HAIR DRYING BEFORE THE BLOW DRY

• Unlike most blow-drying brushes you can use The Ultimate Vented Hairbrush on wet hair without the need of removing excessive moisture from the hair.

• However, when removing the towel from the hair ensure you don’t overly rub or scrub the hair, this will roughen the cuticles. Simply pat the hair from the roots downwards.

STEP THREE: DETANGLE THE TANGLES BEFORE THE BLOW DRY

• Do not, we repeat do not try and detangle your hair as you blow-dry!

• Wet hair is fragile and can stretch and snap. Therefore, it needs to be detangled before blow-drying in the correct way.

• The Ultimate Detangler was designed to treat wet hair with care. It’s a brush that confidently, but gently detangles wet and vulnerable hair with no pulling or snagging.

• If you have especially thick, curly or textured hair up-swing your brush to The Large Ultimate Detangler that has a bigger surface area. If you feel your hair needs sectioning to detangle the underlayers of the hair, do so. You will find our teeth are gentle on your scalp too.

• During this time, you can also brush through and distribute any styling products or serums you wish to use before your blow-dry.

STEP FOUR: IT’S TIME FOR THE BLOW-DRYING BRUSH!

• Using  The Ultimate Vented Hairbrush there are zero rules, so there’s no need to section the hair if you don’t think it’s necessary.

• When it comes to choosing a hairdryer, our The Ultimate Vented Hairbrush works well with any dryer. 

• The reason why you can blow-dry your hair from wet is because the power lies in the teeth. Unlike any other blow-dry brushes, our teeth technology removes excess water from the hair for a quicker and healthier blow-dry.

• Because of our unique teeth technology, you can also afford to switch the heat down to a medium setting on your drier. Intense and high heat damages the hair by dehydrating it.

• Direct the nozzle of the hairdryer slightly away from the teeth – there’s no need to place directly onto the teeth, and allow the hairdryer to follow the motion of the brush from roots to ends.

• You can finish your blow-dry by using the cool setting on your drier to encourage further smoothness.

 

STEP FIVE: BLOW DRYING IS COMPLETE

• Your hair is now beautifully dried and smooth.

• Smooth over any flyaways with The Ultimate Teaser – you can spritz a little hairspray on the teeth if you so wish.

• If needed add a little serum or shine spray to your finished look and your good to hair flip and go!
