We know that achieving the perfect balance of definition, volume, and health for our hair can sometimes feel like trying to solve a complex puzzle. One piece of this puzzle that often gets overlooked is the way we dry our curly hair. Did you know that drying your curly hair can actually be healthier than letting it air dry? Not to mention, it can give you volume, set your curls in place, and make refreshing your curls a breeze.
A recent study showed that due to the use of heat protectors and the fragility of wet hair there is much less damage to the hair than to let it simply air dry.
Embrace the Heat, But Protect Your Hair
While it may sound counterintuitive, using a good hair dryer with the right settings and a heat protector can actually benefit your curly hair. Always opt for a heat protector that can safeguard your strands up to 220 degrees. Most hair dryers stay at a consistent heat setting of 100-150 degrees! If you don't have a heat protector on hand, simply adjust the temperature of your hair dryer accordingly. Pay attention to the airflow as well; a dryer with a diffuser that doesn't disturb your curls while drying is ideal.
Hover or Direct Dry
I've seen so many people onling hover diffusing their hair, why? Its like they have 3 hrs to dry thier hair! If you have a heat protector its fine to touch your hair with the hairdryer. To give volume dry the hair upsidedown or from the bottom. If you are prioritising length then dry your hair from the side.
The Diffuser Hall of Fame
Investing in a quality dryer can make a world of difference in your curly hair routine. If you're looking for a splurge-worthy option, the Dyson hair dryer is worth every penny. Known for its advanced technology its also clear that Dyson designed thier dryer knowing it would be used with a diffuser rather than some where the diffuser is an add on, a Dyson dryer can revolutionise your drying experience. For a more budget-friendly yet effective alternative, the Laifen dryer, which is a Dyson dupe, offers similar benefits without breaking the bank. If you have long, voluminous hair, consider the Curl Smith dryer, specifically designed with a large bowl to accommodate more hair. On a budget? The Belissima hair dryer is a great choice, provided you select the model with variable temperature and fan settings to cater to your hair's unique needs.
Remember, the key to successful drying lies in using a heat protector, adjusting the temperature and airflow of your dryer to your hair's needs, and choosing a quality dryer that suits your hair type and budget!
