3. Air Dry or Use a Low Heat Setting:
- Whenever possible, allow your hair to air dry partially before using a blow dryer. If you opt for a blow dryer, set it to a low or medium heat setting to prevent excessive heat exposure, reducing the risk of heat damage to your hair.
4. Maintain Distance and Movement:
- Hold the blow dryer at least six inches away from your hair to prevent heat damage. Continuously move the dryer around to distribute heat evenly and avoid concentrating heat on one area for too long.
5. Consider Cool Shots:
- After blow-drying sections of your hair, use the cool shot setting on your dryer. This helps to set the style and seal the hair cuticles, promoting shine and reducing frizz.
6. Use the Right Brush:
- Use a brush suitable for your hair type. For instance, use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with natural bristles for finer hair to prevent breakage and distribute natural oils along the hair shaft.
