Why is a vented hairbrush important for blow-drying?
To get the best from a blow-dry, you want to make sure the heat passes in and around all of your hair. Vented hairbrushes, like our own Ultimate Blow Dry Hairbrush, have holes in the back to help the hot air pass through. This makes it quicker and easier to get a salon-quality blow out from the comfort of your own home.
Pro Tip: less time under the hairdryer reduces the risk of heat damage, protecting the health of your hair.
What are the common mistakes when blow-drying your hair?
Blow-drying your hair is usually the quickest way to dry it, but it can come with challenges. Some common mistakes involve:
- Overheating: if the setting is too hot, it can overdry and damage your hair. For curly hair, make sure you have a diffuser if you are blow-drying to protect your curls from the heat.
- Proximity: holding a hairdryer too close to your hair can also damage it.
- Lack of protection: a heat-protective spray can help to protect from heat-related damage, but you should be wary of how often you use heat settings.
- Not sectioning: trying to dry all your hair at once will take too long. Sectioning allows you to finish quicker.
- Lack of control: when you’re styling your hair, control is key. The right brush helps you to control how your hair settles during drying and styling.
How should you use a brush when blow-drying your hair?
Using a blow-dry brush when you’re drying your hair is the perfect way to keep control and set your hair in the style you want. To make the most of the experience, we recommend:
- Choose the right brush. For speed, a vented hairbrush is ideal to dry your hair quicker. For styling, our Smoothing Tool is perfect to dry your hair with volume and shine, and more precise pick up at the roots.
- Hold the blow-dry brush under the section you are drying, and position the hairdryer above.
- Aim the nozzle down your hair, from root to tip for maximum smoothness and less frizz.
- Move in coordination, constantly moving the hairdryer when it’s over your hair to prevent overdrying.
