How to Rough Dry Your Hair

How to Rough Dry Hair

After you’ve washed your hair with the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Strengthening Color Care Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Strengthening Conditioner, apply your heat protectant of choice then follow the simple steps below for a quick dry in as little as five minutes. 

Step 1. Prep Your Dryer

Before you begin drying your hair you want to make sure your blow dryer has the right attachment. Colombini says, “Use the attachment provided on your blow dryer called a concentrator, which delivers the air flow in a more precise direction and also keeps the heat of the dryer from directly touching your hair.” 

Step 2. Blow Dry Your Hair

Move the dryer in a continuous flow while shaking the hair out with your hands. According to Colombini, this will help prevent heat pockets of steam forming at your roots and potentially burning your scalp. We can all agree that we’d like to avoid any form of scalp burn.

Step 3. Brush Through Your Hair

Once you’ve removed 50 to 80 percent of the moisture from your hair (depending on your hair texture) use your hair brush of choice to work out any additional knots and smooth the hair out. If you’re going for a blowout hairstyle then section off your hair,  grab your round brush and move on to the rest of your styling.
