Let’s get started.

So, How To Straighten Hair With Blow Dryer

The best way to achieve straight hair with a blow dryer is to use the right attachments. A round brush and diffuser are your best bet, as these tools will help you control how fast your hair dries and make sure it doesn’t frizz up.

A round brush helps prevent heat damage and frizz, but it can have the side effect of creating volume in your hair if you over dry. You’ll want to avoid this, so start by combing through your wet hair with a wide-toothed comb.

Then follow these steps:

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Before you start blow-drying, start by washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that will help smooth frizz. I recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner because they do not contain harsh chemicals that can strip the natural oils out of your hair. One of my favorite sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners is OGX Hydrate + Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. The Moroccan Argan Oil in the formula gives your hair hydration and shine, while the Keratin Proteins helps to repair damaged hair cuticles.

Step 2: Apply Heat Protectant

Before drying your hair, apply a heat protectant to minimize damage. If you have fine hair, choose a lightweight leave-in conditioner like Dove Quench Absolute Leave-In Detangler to add volume and shine without weighing down strands. If you have thick hair, opt for an anti-frizz cream like TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse to prevent frizz and flyaways as you style.

Step 3: Use The Right Brush

To get smooth, shiny locks, use a round brush and gently pull your hair taut as you blow-dry it. Round brushes come in different sizes with different bristles. If your hair is thin or fine, use a smaller brush. Your hair is thick or curly, use a larger brush with smoother bristles. If you have bangs or layers that are difficult to blow dry straight, try using a flat paddle brush rather than a round one.

Step 4: Divide the Hair

Divide the hair into sections and start from the bottom up. Make sure to use a comb or brush to detangle each section before you begin using the blow dryer.

Step 5: Blow Dry Each Section

Divide the hair into sections and start from the bottom up. Make sure to use a comb or brush to detangle each section before you begin using the blow dryer.

Step 6: Select the Starting Portion

We recommend starting at the nape of your neck to get the right angle when you start blow-drying. Divide this section into small sections and clip up the rest of your hair with a clip or ponytail holder. The smaller the sections, the more control you have when blow-drying each strand.

Step 7: Blow Dry Your Hair

Place a round boar bristle brush under the first section of hair and grasp it from underneath with your opposite hand (holding both ends). Hold the blow dryer about 12 inches away from your scalp and set it on medium speed and high heat. Make sure to keep the blow dryer moving to avoid over drying one spot.

Brush through the section of hair while guiding it with your hand and blow drying simultaneously, until the entire section is smooth and straight. Repeat this process on all sections of your hair.

Step 7: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat

Take small sections of your hair and comb them straight down before blow drying. Next up: repeat that step. And then again, Blow dry each section slowly until it’s completely dry and smooth with no kinks or bumps in it.

Step 8: Spray it down and ta-da

For extra hold, spritz with a firming or texturizing spray to keep it in place.

What Are Benefits Of Straightening Your Hair With A Blow dryer

We all hear of the benefits of blow drying our hair, and many of us do it on a daily basis. But, what exactly is blow drying? It is simply using heat to straighten your hair by using hot air to “blow” out the hair. Blow drying can be done with a round brush or flat iron to achieve more definition in the style.

Here are some benefits of straightening your hair with a blowdryer:

It helps to get rid of tangles and knots, which are the common problems with curly hair. You can also use it to smooth out flyaways and frizzy ends.

It gives you smoother, shinier-looking curls that have been straightened. The heat from the dryer helps to reduce frizz and add shine to your curls.

Using a blow dryer for curly hair also helps you maintain your curls’ shape better than if you were just using a curling iron or flat iron alone.

The best benefit of using a blow dryer is that you can save money by buying one instead of paying for expensive salon products every time you need to straighten your curls.

Final Words

The secret to getting straightened hair with a blow dryer is to use multiple tools. This may include combs, brushes, and so on depending on the type of hair you have. You also want to make sure that you wash your hair with shampoo before drying it so that you get the best results. If you do this, you will be able to straighten your hair yourself with a blow dryer in no time at all.
