To blow dry your hair, start by rubbing it with a towel to get rid of some of the water and stop it from dripping. Once you’ve towel-dried your hair, apply any heat protection and other hair products you want. Then, separate your hair into a few sections using hair clips. For each section, work a brush slowly through your hair starting at the roots. While you move your brush, aim your hairdryer at it. Make sure you use a medium or low heat to avoid damaging your hair. Repeat the process for each section until your hair is all dry. For more tips from our Hair and Beauty co-author, including how to style your hair while blow drying it, read on!
