Whether you’re blow drying your hair everyday or every few days it’s super important that you’re using the right settings. A blow dryer is one of the most damaging hair styling tools and that’s often because people switch to the highest heat when they don’t need to. To help you guys out we’re filling you in on each setting and the different hair types they work for. Here’s to salon worthy hair in no time…
Best For: Fine or damaged hair
Spending longer on your blowdry isn’t ideal but if you have fine or damaged hair this setting will be the best option. If your hair is fine or already damaged then you need to be as gentle as possible by sticking to the lowest speed. Hair is even weaker when it’s wet so using a higher setting could snap your strands which is why it's super important to keep things slow.
- When blow drying you want to direct the airflow down your hair to smooth the cuticles so that they lie flat. This will make your hair look really shiny and helps to tame flyaways for a really flawless finish.
- To prevent over drying your hair you can always start your blow dryer on a higher heat and keep switching it down as your hair gets drier. This will help to avoid damage and will stop your hair from getting frizzy once you’re done.
- How quickly your hair dryer blow dries your hair has a lot to do with the wattage more than the temperature. You want to go for something that’s more than 1800 watts to get the most out of your blow dry. If you’re stuck for choice we’d highly recommend the T-3 Cora Luxe which is 1875W and was Allure’s Best Of Beauty winner last year.
- If the air coming out of the hair dryer is burning your scalp then it’s way too hot and you’re likely holding it way too close to your head. Turn down the temperature immediately and keep the hairdryer about 15cm away from your strands.
