7 Practical Steps For Blow Drying Your Hair 

Step 1: Start with Clean Hair

Before you begin blow-drying your hair, ensure it's clean and free of any product buildup. Use a clarifying shampoo and nourishing conditioner to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may be weighing your hair down. Once you've washed your hair, towel dry it to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2: Apply a Heat Protectant

Using a moisturizing heat protectant is essential for preventing damage to your hair when blow-drying. Apply a heat protectant spray or cream evenly throughout your hair to protect it from the blow dryer's heat. 

Make sure you distribute the product evenly and comb it through your hair to ensure it's evenly coated. Even when you're using a high-quality hair dryer such as Gama Pro IQ Hair Dryer, it's essential to use heat protection. 

Step 3: Section Your Hair

To make the blow-drying process more manageable, divide your hair into sections. This will allow you to focus on one area at a time and ensure you dry all of your hair evenly. Clip the top layer of your hair up and out of the way, and start with the bottom section.

Step 4: Use a Round Brush

Using a round brush is the key to smoothing out rough hair when blow drying. Choose a brush with a barrel that's the same size as the curls you want to create. Start at the roots and gently pull the brush through your hair while blow drying. Use the brush to lift your hair at the roots to add volume and body.

Step 5: Use the Right Settings

When blow-drying your hair, using the right settings for your hair type is important. If you've fine or thin hair, use a lower heat setting and a lower speed to prevent damage. 

For thick or coarse hair, use a higher heat setting and a higher speed to help tame roughness. A professional hair dryer like the Gama IQ Dryer features multiple temperature and speed settings.

Step 6: Cool It Down

Once you've finished blow-drying each section of your hair, use the cool setting on your blow dryer to set the style. 

This will help your hair maintain its shape and reduce frizz. Use the cool setting for about 30 seconds on each section of your hair.

High-end and modern hair dryers, including the Gama Professional Blow Dryer is designed with the col shot setting for optimal styling. 

Step 7: Finish with Serum

Finish your blow dry with a hair serum or moisturizing spray to add shine and reduce frizz. Apply the required amount of serum to the ends of your hair (avoid the roots) and work your way up to the roots. 

Use your fingers to distribute the serum evenly throughout your hair gently.
