How to Use a Hair Dryer: A Step-by-Step Guide for Hair Health and Style
Deccan ChronicleHair dryers are devices that distribute heat to dry hair faster after a shower. They help hair look voluminous and style it by using heat to curl or straighten the hair strands. However, it's important to use a hair dryer with adjustable heat speed and cold settings to minimize damage. Hot air drying is ideal for speed and styling but risks heat damage and frizz, while cool drying promotes healthier hair but requires more time. The correct way to use a hair dryer is to start with a low heat setting and build up if necessary. Always use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and nourishing conditioner, and apply a heat protectant to create a barrier between your hair and the heat. Avoid excessive heat styling and allow your hair to air-dry partially.
