Correct way of blowing your hair.

Dear ladies and vain men for the matter,

Got tis info from a TV variety the other day. I was really amazed at the effect after trying it myself!

According to the pro himself, it is not the kind of shampoo or treatment that are used in salon that gives your the shine in your hair. It is the way of blowing actually. So much for promoting all the expensive products.

The 4 Do NoTs:
1. Do not wipe your hair in a rough manner after shampoo.
2. Do not blow dry your hair using heat throughout
3. Do not comb right after wash with a brush
4. Do not start blowing from the ends

The DoS:
1. Instead of drying it in a rough up-down motion, wipe in in parts. Take some hair each at a time and PAT it dry.
2.Vary the temperature using hot and cold hair ( which I will elaborate further later)
3. Comb with a comb with bristles wide and far in between
4. Blow starting from the top of head.

The steps and explanation:
1. Wipe your hair with a towel in a patting motion. Goal is not to wipe it till it is dry but to get rid of the dripping water.
2. Comb you hair with a comb whose bristles are wide. This is to reduce breakage of hair which at this stage is very vulnerable and to spread the moisture evenly throughout the head.
3. Start blowing the top in a random manner with hot air. Starting with the top will eventually cause the ends to dry up by itself without causing excessive dryness. Move your hair-dryer throughout the head to avoid the over-drying of one area only.
4. After the top is done, dry the middle levels. Run your fingers through your hair and do the motion of sweeping your hair to the front.
5. When the middle level is also done. Switch to cold air and blow your hair. This causes the cuticles to contract and this is also the time in which the hair takes its shape.
6. Do the ends now. In the same sweeping manner with hot air.
7. Finally, finish it up with cold air. To make you hair curl inwards at the ends, cup the ends of your hand with your hands and apply cold air to it.


Viola! Do it and tell me if it works!!
