There is no hair dryer or styler worth its salt that does not have a cold air function. It is true that we all know that styling tools that use heat damage the hair but, to be honest, drying with cold air is something eternal.
Therefore, the question is, why do we use the cold option? Well, we have spoken with Beatriz Matallana, partner stylist from Dyson Beauty Spain that has given us all the keys to this issue.
What is it for and when is it advisable to use the cold air function
According to the expert, “the cold air function is perfect for giving the final touch to the hair, and it also serves to protect it and close the cuticle. I always suggest using it at the end of drying to seal the hairstyle and reduce frizz. In addition, I recommend it for fine or damaged hair, thus avoiding drying it out even more.“.
In this sense, Beatriz tells us that “With the cold air function, heat damage is reduced. Additionally, it increases shine and reduces frizz and flyaways. It also helps to set the hairstyle, without leaving it dry and lifeless.”
Tricks of its use
In this sense, our consulted expert is very clear: one of the biggest enemies is excess heat. “To get the most out of this function, it is important to keep the dryer at an appropriate distance from the hair,” says Beatriz.
As we can see, the cold option is perfect for that final touch to the hair that will make our look look perfect, polished and always in place.
