Step #1

Blow Dry Hair

Well, blow drying hair isn’t just drying your locks, but you need to start off with shampooing your hair with a good quality shampoo and then condition it as required. Use a shampoo which suits your hair texture and of course, use in appropriate amounts only. Wash your locks thoroughly with loads of water so that no traces of shampoo and conditioner are left behind.
Step #2
After doing with step #1, you need to start off with the main process. For this, you obviously need a good quality dryer so buy one. Next, pat you hair with a soft towel so as to squeeze as much of water as you can. Do not rub in any case, just pat.
Step #3
Take a large toothed comb and comb your hair. You can use little bit of detangler if you are finding it difficult. After combing, set the dryer to hot air, high speed and medium heat and make sure you are using a targeting nozzle.
Step #4
Here comes the interesting part. Wondering how to blow dry hair straight? Well, simply use a hair straightening gel and apply onto your hair properly. Then with the help of a flat wide brush, comb your hair while blow drying. However, here, you need to partition your hair into 3-4 sections and blow dry each section separately.

Dry Hair Solutions

• Dry hair is very fragile and needs special care. Be gentle when lathering and avoid any pulling or yanking. Don’t scrub with your fingernails – this will not only irritate your scalp but can cause hair breakage. Brush your lock gently and never when it’s wet.

• Allow your hair to air dry wherever possible. When you must use your hairdryer, blow drying hair should be done correctly – use it on a cooler temperature and aim it down the hair shaft.

• Be careful not to over wash your locks. It’s very easy to strip away the natural oils if you wash it too often. Once or twice a week is enough.

• Rinse with water alone on off days.

Dry Hair Solutions

• Use a moisturizing and nourishing shampoo. Use only a mild, acidic shampoo that is labeled “for dry or damaged hair.” A good shampoo should have a pH of between 4.5 and 6.7. Look for ingredients like zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or coal-tar.

• Condition after every shampoo. Condition your hair on a regular basis (once a week is suggested) with an intensive, deep conditioning treatment. Use products that contain no alcohol, which can dry out hair even more. In general, conditioners with fragrance have alcohol, so avoid them. If your hair is very dry, use an overnight conditioner. Mayonnaise is a great natural conditioner. Leave it in your tresses for anywhere from 15-20 minutes before washing it out.

• If you can afford, use a salon-grade shampoo and conditioner; these products contain less “filler” ingredients.

• Apply over-the-counter hot-oil treatment to repair dry, damaged hair. Wear a shower cap over your hair while the hot oil is on; rinse after 5 to 20 minutes.

• Reduce your use of hairspray, mousse, hair gels and styling creams that contain chemical ingredients. With excessive use, they can easily irritate your scalp and damage your hair.

• While, shampooing, do a scalp massage to stimulate oil glands in the skin.

• Do not use mousse on brittle, dry hair, use a thickening lotion instead.

• Every six weeks snip off frayed ends.

Dry Hair Solutions

• Beer is a good setting lotion to give healthy, shiny look to dry hair. Spray it onto your locks using a pump bottle after shampooing but before you blow-dry.

• Treating dry hair also should include drinking plenty of water, eating a diet of good proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins A, C, E, and calcium.

• If you spend a lot of time in the strong sunlight, use a hair sunscreen or protect your hair with a headscarf or hat.
