You can use a shampoo when washing your hair and thoroughly clean all the areas including the area near your ears and then rinse. Condition your hair, then dry it with a towel so that it is not sopping wet when you begin drying.
3. Use a Hairdryer
This is the meat of the whole drying process and when done correctly, leaves more satisfying results. If you are straightening long hair begin by gathering all the hair on top of your crown and secure it with a clip. After this, begin by drying the lower layers of your hair with a brush, using more heat. The dryer’s nozzle should be pointed downwards to help smoothen the hair and create a shine. As for the top layers, remove the clip and use it to hold the already-dry lower layers of your hair. You can clip them into a bun or a loose ponytail to keep the layers separate and easy to manage. Blow dry the top layers, aiming at the roots to add volume to your hair while using the brush to pull hair forward and out.
As far, those with short hair, after applying a conditioner, set your dryer to low heat and medium speed. Keep the hair dryer moving around the head while avoiding using too much heat in one area and remember to direct the air up for volume and down to smoothen and tame the hair. Periodically, stop the blowing to comb and coach your hair into the desired position, while it is still hot. At this point a heat protectant product comes in handy, saving you from heat damage by the hair dryer. Although many of the hair products today are engineered to shield your hair from heat damage and UV rays too, it is always a good idea to apply a heat-protectant product to your hair before blow drying it.
4. Finishing and Styling
Generally, when the hair is dry it should be shaped into the style you needed it to be. Now blast your hair with cold air to finish, it makes it look thicker and glossier. Finally, depending on the thickness and length of your hair apply your styling product of choice to your hair while messaging your scalp at the roots.
