Hairdryer Settings
August 8, 2008
No matter what hairdryer you own whether it be professional or department store brand, they all have several settings ranging from warm, to hot to cool. Most of us use only the hottest setting to dry our hair from beginning to end, but what about the others? Should we be using the warm setting instead of hot?
Use this guide to use your dryer and all its bells and whistles!
HOT–Use hot air to dry wet hair using your fingers or a round brush. When you have a product that is not pliable enough try heating it up with some hot air.
WARM–Use for diffusing. Curly/wavy hair is often dry by nature. Hot air tends to dry out the hair to fast thus leaving a frizzy untamed mess. Using the warm setting will be much gentler on your locks.
COOL–Use your cool button to seal the cuticle at the end of your blowdrying. This shot of cool air closes the cuticle, making your hair smooth and shiny.
