Step 1: Quick and Rough Dry After Washing

Right after you have washed your hair, you can start by rough-drying it. Use the hair dryer’s medium heat and use your hands to damp it until it’s approximately 70 to 80 percent dry. A quick pro-tip: Don’t forget to use the hair dryer’s nozzle. This is crucial for smooth blow-dry hair.

Step 2: Grab Your Hair Products

• Hair spray: To add lift and set hair, opt for a hair spray of your option.
• Cream: Use a special blowout cream to soften dry your hair.
• Mousse: For those looking for extra volume and thickness, don’t forget to use mousse.

Step 3: Clip Your Hair And Start With The Lower Sections

Take a few hair clips, brush the hair, and divide it into sections using hair clips. Begin drying the lower layers with a round brush, using the nozzle downward to make sure the heat is straightening the hair. Continue until you finish the bottom layers.

Step 4: Moving Upward

Once the bottom section is dry go to the top and remove the clips. Twist and clip the blown-dry hair with a bun to add waves or for a straight look, you should secure them with a low and very loose bun.

Then blow-dry the top section, aiming at the roots to add volume, then work toward the ends, using the brush to pull hair forward and out.

Step 5: Shape Ends

Remove the clips and flip your hair all the way back and part and dry hair around the forehead. For a curly finish, roll them under with the brush blast with heat, and set with cold air.

If you wish a straight finish, pull the brush through while drying ends with warm air, then set with a quick cold air. Apply hair spray or stylish cream.
