A hair dryer is a versatile device that is used for styling and drying hair. It helps to give the hair volume, as well as quickly straighten curly hair. What methods of straightening at home exist and how to quickly straighten hair with a hairdryer you will learn from this article.

Hairstyle plays a significant role in the overall image of the fair sex. Never before has anyone ever been attracted by unkempt, dull hair sticking out in different directions. But a beautiful and neatly styled hairstyle will be able to decorate any image. The best helper for your hair to look neat, but at the same time and volume will be a hair dryer.

In order to beautifully lay strands will have to try. First of all, the quality of the installation will depend on what kind of hair dryer you will use. When choosing a device, pay attention to the following parameters:

• Power. If you have short hair, a 400-800 W hairdryer will do. For longer ones, a more powerful dryer is required - 1600-1800 W.

• Air supply mode. Usually there are two modes - hot air, which will be modeled curl or volume at the roots, and cold - for better fixation of hair, but ideally there should also be a supply of warm air for normal hair drying.
• Nozzles A set with a hairdryer should include at least three nozzles — a concentrator (narrow slit nozzle for directing air), a diffuser (for girls whose hair is wavy by nature or as a result of a perm) and brashing (a large round brush for creating curls and volume) .

Of course, it is best to dry the hair in a natural way, without using a hair dryer. But sometimes there is not enough time in the morning, so a hairdryer comes to the rescue. Modern devices are quite powerful, but at the same time they are very delicate to the hair.

The design of modern hair dryers is much more complicated than its predecessors, since they are equipped with high-tech features. Among these technologies:

• Ionization. A jet of air from the hair dryer covers the hair with positively charged particles that prevent electrification. In addition, this technology attracts moisture from the air, which does not allow hair to dry too much.
• Ceramic elements provide soft infrared heating that dries hair more carefully and carefully. Nozzles with a ceramic coating gently comb the strands while you dry them. This makes them particularly smooth and gives extraordinary shine.

• Defenders of color. A special nozzle creates streams of cold air in the middle of warm air. This technique prevents hair loss of color.
• Logical fan. This special feature provides a precisely calibrated stream of uniformly heated air.
• Superfans. Hair dryers with this feature provide 50% more efficient air circulation. Add to this a power of 2500 watts - and your hair will dry twice as fast.

After you have washed your hair, the strands must be prepared for laying:

• To do this, dry your hair with a stream of warm air without using a nozzle. Do not overdo it, because as on too dry and wet hair, a beautiful hairstyle will not work. The ideal option is slightly wet strands.
• The next step is to apply any styling products to the dried hair, for example, foam or mousse. Comb evenly across the entire length.This way you can fix the styling for a longer time.
• If you have short hair and you just want to give them a small volume, then dry them with a stream of hot air, directing the nozzle of the hair dryer directly under the roots. It is best to use a hub for this purpose, although you can do without it. If the hair is very short, then you can give it volume by simply combing it against growth and simultaneously sending a hot stream of air under the roots.

• Now that the hair is dry, only a few final touches are left, and your hairstyle is ready. For example, you can isolate individual strands with wax. If you have a bang, then slightly twist it to make it look more voluminous. And only after all this, sprinkle the hair again with a lacquer of medium or strong fixation so that the hairstyle lasts as long as possible.

Knowing how to do a hairdryer, you can create a beautiful hair style on your head in 10-15 minutes and give your hair an impressive amount. The most important thing is not to use the hairdryer too often, otherwise you may face the problem of dry hair.

For drying, do not use hot air dryer. It is best to use cold air. This step is very important for giving volume and sustainability. First you need to pull the hair with a brush and wipe it with warm air from a hairdryer. Then wind it over the brush and cool it with cold air. Leave the brush still for a few minutes. For chin-length hair, it is necessary to use a round brush with a diameter of at least 6 centimeters. Brushes with small heads create curls rather than volume.

Varnish for fixing - the perfect finishing touch for a reliable structure of your hair. A large amount of lacquer can burden thin hair. It is better to raise the individual strands up and apply varnish on the side of their base.

The secret of straight hair - in the technique of drying. Even thin and straight hair after a natural drying on the air becomes slightly wavy. The best way to straighten them is to blow-dry your hair while at the same time stretching it with a brush, strand by strand.

For short hair is useful round brush. It should be used as a kind of curlers, heating the strands wound around it with a hair dryer and carefully unwinding and straightening them under the influence of the warm air of the dryer. For long strands we recommend using a flat brush. However, the technique remains unchanged.

Of course, it would be ideal not to leave the house at all and not to expose the hair to environmental influences, such as rain or wind. But it is almost impossible, therefore the varnish for imparting elasticity can become an alternative solution. Use it to keep the strands straight from morning to evening. In addition, this varnish will give them shine and will not weigh them down.

The most important rule of neat and beautiful hair is a thorough preparation. If during the procedure you move a lot, for example, look for the necessary tools, the whole structure may be disrupted. Before the procedure of straightening a hair dryer, it is necessary to prepare:
