Use the wrong type of dryer.
Not all dryers are created the same so it is good to know what you are working with. Ionic dryers have the technology that allows a faster drying of hair not only with heat and air force but also with negative ions that help dissolve water in the hair follicles. While ceramic braids use infrared technology and dry the hair gently, protecting it from heat. Do not dispose of dryer accessories. People with curly hair can accentuate them through the diffuser and while concentrators serve to fight unruly hair and style.
Keep the dryer in the same place for a long time.
One of the most serious mistakes made in using the dryer is concentrating heat for a long time on a part of the hair. Guaranteed way to curl your hair. The dryer must be constantly in motion. To comb, make sure the brush is in the vertical position while the dryer is in the horizontal position.
Use a very high heat.
The dryer heat levels are in line with the hair type. If you have very thick hair you can use high heat but always moving the dryer constantly. If you have sparse and delicate hair, use low heat. The cooling button is ideal for the end of drying or combing because it serves to close the pores of the scalp while maintaining hydration and in the case of curls, it serves to fix them better.
Do not use heat shields.
Protective serums, lotions and sprays are the best way to protect your hair while combing with heat.
You do not part your hair properly.
You might think there is no science in between, but there is actually a proper way to do it. To avoid the mess that is created on the back, create a section on the top of the head, comb the front and out slowly move towards the back.
You are not using the right brush.
One of the biggest mistakes is the use of metal brushes. They heat up very quickly and as a result the damage to the hair is much greater.
Pull the hair very tightly.
When combing hair it is important not to pull too hard with the brush even if you want to finish work as soon as possible. Better pass the dryer several times until the hair is compliant.
