What a rage it makes us to spend a good amount of time on our hair, putting all our effort into ensuring that the finish is perfect, polished and without a hint of frizz, and when we realize it, the result is no longer the same as it was an hour ago.
The main reason is the humidity that causes the hair cuticles to open and the humidity found in the environment to penetrate, making the hair frizzy. But humidity is not the only culprit, also the improper use of the towel when drying our hair or the excessive use of heat tools such as straighteners or dryers affect our hair more than it seems.
The reality is that not everything is lost, keeping frizz under control is possible thanks to specific anti-frizz products, a good hair hydration routine and of course, knowing how to use the dryer properly. Because we may not realize it, but improper use of the dryer is one of the main factors why hair ends up frizzier than expected.
If we use the dryer well we will have a lot of gains against frizz
Using the dryer in one way or another makes a big difference. The first thing we must keep in mind is that since it is a heat source directly on our hair, it can dehydrate the hair fiber, which means that we would have the same problem with frizz again. Furthermore, if we do not use the dryer correctly, the hair loses its natural shine and ends up looking matte and dry.
For this reason, it is best to learn how to use the hairdryer correctly and to do so you must take advice from those who know the most. One of the strong points that we must take into account when using the dryer is the way in which we control the direction of the air.
According to expert hairdresser Daniel del Valle, “the correct way to use the hair dryer to avoid frizz and make the hair polished is to apply heat from the roots to the ends, always in the direction of the floor.” What is achieved with this gesture is that the hair maintains its natural structure, which is why it will be softer, shiny and without frizz.
The reason this trick is so important is because when air is applied in that direction (from the roots to the tips) the hair cuticles are not lifted, but rather remain sealed, in their natural direction. This way your hair will look polished, shiny and much more hydrated and beautiful.
To make drying our hair this way easier, we can help ourselves with a round brush during drying, this way the finish will be even more polished and we can give more shape and volume to the hair. It can also be very useful to attach a nozzle to the dryer to direct the air flow in a more controlled and precise way.
