4. Use the Right Hair Brush and Dryer
A boar-bristled brush is the best when it comes to styling tools. The natural bristles grip the hair well and help disperse styling products better than the synthetic ones. Don't forget that a powerful blow-dry with 1,800 watts will create enough airflow to help the products penetrate to the hair cuticles. Use a ceramic-heating blow dryer that will style your hair without blazing it.
5. Blast Cool Air
Do not start styling your hair until it is 80 percent dry. The lesser time you take blow drying your hair, the lesser damage you will do. Then move the blow dryer around your hair, tousling the hair with your fingers while it is a little damp. Then blow dry your hair from roots to the ends in sections.
