There are so many ways of styling hair, although in this section of my blog i will just be talking about the basics such as blow drying, straightening, curling and some other ways to style hair.
Blow Drying
Before starting to blow dry your hair, it is important to towel dry it as it will make the process a lot easier for you to dry it with the blow dryer and ensure less (although not none) damage to the hair.
Once you do this you should of course plug the hair dryer in and turn it on. In most hair dryers you can have the option to make the air cold or hot, often it is better for your hair to us the hot air as the cold hair will make your hair more damaged and brittle and make it break easier.
To start off I would recommend doing a quick once over the entire head of hair so it is easier to dry the rest in sections and get a better outcome. Then I would section the hair off so that you are able to dry as much hair as possible and have most of it dry instead of just parts of it. Once you have done this you should get a round brush, the reason most hairdressers use this type of brush is because it helps to collect the heat from the hair dryer meaning that the hair will dry faster. You would then put the hair brush under the section of hair you are drying and twirl it in your hand whilst brushing through and hovering the hair dryer directly over.
To get a straighter outcome, you would put the hair dryer very close to the brush with hair place on it so that it drys quicker and has a straighter texture, although if you want just your normal hair texture than you would just roughly wave that hair dryer over the hair, and you would maybe not even have to use the round brush at all (although you would have to brush through the hair first with a normal brush to ensure that there are no knots and to make the job easier). Also if you wanted a very straight, neat look, you would straighten the hair with a hair straightener which is pretty easy and self explanatory to do.
