Blow Drying Long Hair

Many people say that constant blow drying of the hair will cause damage in the long run, but if you dry your hair carefully with the correct techniques you can avoid this problem.

  • Wash your hair with a moisturising shampoo, which will help your hair whilst it’s being blow-dried later.
  • When drying your hair with a towel, do so enough to stop the dripping. Do not rub your hair too hard as this may cause split ends and frizziness. Instead blot the water out of your hair by wrapping the towel around.
  • Before your start to blow dry, separate your hair into smaller sections. This will make the drying process much quicker. If your hair is very long, you can use clips to help.
  • Blow dry from the top and work down. Make sure to stay around 6 inches away from your scalp.
  • Do not completely dry your hair as it does need some moisture.
