For all it’s regular and popular use, blow-drying can cause some unwanted damage to your hair if done wrong. The best hair-friendly results are achieved while the air stream and heat setting is on medium or low - it should feel comfortable on the back of your hand. Also, close contact between your blow dryer and hair will only result in dry, brittle hair and an irritated scalp. Once you’ve set your blow drying on a low-temperature setting allow enough space to fit your hand between the machine and your hair for the most part of the drying process. This simple, yet important technique will leave your hair with plenty of luster and bounce.

For some extra help and hair protection, you can also prep your hair with a multi-tasking hair primer that will help reduce the effect of heat and detangle wet stands.
