Blow dry techniques
The proper blow drying technique is gentle on your hair and leaves the hair with plenty of bounce and lustre. Above all, it is important to use the right kind of blow dryer; you should be able to adjust the temperature and the air stream. The hair structure may be damaged if you blow dry hair too long or use the high-temperature setting. Th results may be dry, brittle hair with split ends and an irritated scalp. These styling aids help you dry your hair safely and accurately by using heat protection spray, a paddle brush, a diffuser attachment for your blow dryer and few sectioning hair clips.

1. If at all possible, don't use high heat settings of your blow-dryer. The air stream should feel comfortable on the back of your hand.
2. Keep your distance, maintain the hair dryer at least 8 inches away from your hair.
3.If your hair is beautiful, you should set the air stream to low. Otherwise, you may end up with tangles in your hair.
4. Blow dry every individual hair strand from the roots to the ends. This technique provides smooth cuticle layers, which are the basis for healthy, shiny and well-protected hair.
5. You should keep the blow dryer constantly moving to avoid applying too much heat in a single spot. Dividing the hair into several portions and securing the strands with large clips or grips. Blow drying hair from neckline to the crown of your head so that you don't hit the same strand of hair multiple times.
6. Always use heat protection spray, this product help prevents blow drying damage.
7. Do not to blow dry hair immediately after shampooing, allow hair first to dry for 15 min under a towel turban, but if you must first take 80 % off of the hair then blow dry.
8. The diffuser attached to your blow dryer spreads out a more even air stream.
9. Once you are finish blow drying hair, briefly apply a flow of cold air. This cooling step gives your hair more elasticity.
10. If you were using a round brush and wanted to keep, curled ends use a clip or grip by rolled them and pin them to the scalp, to achieve more flat and silky hair use paddle brush.

My work
My model Vicky has medium length, thick, straight, dark and healthy looking hair. First, I washed her hair using a shampoo and conditioner, I only washed once and put them into towel turban to let them dry. In this time, Vicky washed my hair. Next step by using a comb, brushed them and divided into few section.
Then I split hair into the small part; I started to blow dry from the bottom of the head, by using a round brush to curl the ends and clipped to the scalp, always when you were taking the brush off use a circles motion to keep the curls.
Half of Vicky's hair I blew dry by using a round brush, we had to swap so I didn't have much time to do it all so I used the paddle brush and dry them, made them more straight and silky finish. This photo shows how looks after my blow dry.
- Vicky's hair looks soft and shiny. Professional dryer its quite thick so I need it practise. Below I attached video how to blow properly dry your hair.
