Mastering a Blow-dry at Home

To kickstart your blow-drying journey from the comfort of your home, Anh emphasizes the importance of investing in quality tools and products. Depending on your hair type, it’s crucial to choose lightweight products that won’t weigh your hair down and consider specific techniques that can make all the difference.

For curly hair, Anh recommends using a diffuser along with hydrating products like Milbon’s Indulging Hydration Primer to enhance and define curls. Straight hair benefits from a quality blow-dryer followed by a flat iron for a sleek finish. Those with thick hair should focus on controlling their locks with a powerful blow-dryer and Milbon’s Luminous Softening Oil to prevent frizz and expansion. For fine hair, Anh recommends using a blow-dryer with a brush attachment, along with Milbon’s Dry Texturizing Spray for adding volume and a teasing comb to create fullness.

To add volume at the roots, Anh suggests using Milbon’s Thickening Mist 4 before you blow-dry. When blow-drying, over-directing the hair is key to creating that coveted fullness and lift. Teasing the hair or using hot rollers afterward can also provide a much-needed boost.

When blow-drying, Anh cautions using excessively high heat, which can damage hair. He recommends using tools like the Dyson, designed to protect hair quality. When using styling tools like curling irons or flat irons, it’s essential to lower the heat setting or apply a heat protectant spray beforehand. Anh recommends both the Weightless Replenishing Mist or Heat Protective Mist from Milbon.

To ensure your style stands the test of time, Anh advises using Milbon’s Strong Hold Hairspray 7 to set the hair without weighing it down. Avoid overloading your hair with products, as this can lead to buildup. When it’s time to sleep, securing your hair in a loose knot or using a silk pillowcase can minimize friction, preserving your style. Alternatively, wearing a hair bonnet can help maintain your look throughout the night.

By choosing the right products, mastering blow-drying techniques for different hair types, and avoiding common mistakes, you’ll enjoy salon-worthy hair every day. So, grab your tools and get ready to flaunt your fabulous hairstyle!
