Frizz in your hair? Here are the solutions.
Frizzy hair after blow-drying is a common problem. Fortunately, with the right techniques and tools, you can blow-dry your hair smooth and shiny without frizz. In this blog post, we share 7 effective tips for reducing frizz with your blow-dryer.
1. Use the flyaway attachment
The flyaway attachment is specially designed to reduce frizz. This attachment creates a concentrated airflow that smooths the hair cuticle and controls flyaways. Use this attachment during the final stages of blow-drying for an ultra-smooth finish.
2. Apply product beforehand
Always start by applying a heat protectant or anti-frizz serum to towel-dried hair. These products form a protective layer around the hair and help seal out moisture—the main cause of frizz. Distribute the product evenly from root to tip.
3. Choose the right temperature
Too much heat can damage your hair and actually increase frizz. Use a lower to medium temperature setting combined with a higher speed. This dries your hair effectively without damaging it. Reserve the highest temperature only for very thick or coarse hair.
4. Blow-dry from top to bottom
Always direct the hairdryer from top to bottom along the hair shaft. This helps smooth the cuticles and adds shine and reduces frizz. Never blow-dry from bottom to top, as this opens the cuticles and creates more volume and frizz.
5. Finish with the cool shot
The cool shot button is your secret weapon against frizz. Use this cold airflow at the end of your blow-dry session to close the hair cuticle and set your style. This creates a smooth, shiny finish that lasts longer.
6. Don't dry your hair completely
Let your hair remain about 10-20% damp before styling. Completely dry hair is more prone to frizz. Finish your hair with the flyaway attachment and cool shot for best results.
7. Use a microfiber towel
Before blow-drying, start reducing frizz by drying your hair with a microfiber towel instead of a regular towel. Microfiber absorbs more water and creates less friction, which reduces frizz. Pat your hair dry instead of rubbing it.
Extra tip: regular maintenance
Get regular haircuts to remove split ends, which contribute to frizz. Also, use a moisturizing hair mask weekly to keep your hair healthy and hydrated.
Conclusion
With these tips, you can effectively reduce frizz and enjoy smooth, shiny hair after blow-drying. The combination of the right products, techniques, and attachments—like the flyaway attachment—makes all the difference. Experiment with these tips to discover what works best for your hair type!
