Beauty Tip: How-to Dry Long Hair Faster
A couple years ago I decided to grow out my hair. Having had short hair most of my life, I just felt it was time for a change. In the process of growing out my hair I began the quest of being a bit more kind to my hair. I experimented with the curly girl method and found out how curly my hair really can be. And I never looked back to my old shampoo and conditioner once I tried Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy.
So now that my hair is long and toucheably soft, I’ve begun to experiment with different styles. But before I can try out a new style, I first have to dry my hair. Drying my hair used to be a pain. It definitely was a step in my beauty routine that I did not look forward to because it seemed like it would take forever the longer my hair would get. If I would let my hair air dry, two hours would pass before my hair was completely dry. If I would use a blow dryer it would be about 30 minutes. Little did I know, I was going about drying my hair in the wrong way.
So, how did I cut my drying time in half? I still plop my hair in one of my husband’s t-shirts every time I take a shower. I leave my hair in the t-shirt while I get dressed and put on my makeup. The t-shirt absorbs the extra water while I’m doing other things so when it is time to blow dry my hair it isn’t dripping wet.
Changing “how” I dry my hair using a blow dryer has made all the difference. Instead of blow drying my hair all at once, I first section & pin my hair into 3 separate sections: one at the top of my head, the middle, and the bottom layer. Since I blow dry the bottom layer first I just leave this section down and pin up the other two.
I blow dry each section of my hair using a round metal barrel brush. I point the blow dryer down to eliminate as much frizz as possible. Since my hair is thin, it doesn’t take very long to dry each section. When it comes to straightening or heat curling my hair I use the same technique mentioned above of section my hair into 3 sections, styling each section before going on to the next.
Do you have any tips or tricks for blow drying your hair?
