The struggle is real. We’re often spending too much time tirelessly blow drying our hair for that shiny glossy frizz-free look. After awhile it gets too time-consuming and we question whether it’s even worth it.

But we also know that if we don’t go through the pains, we’ll probably be regretting that decision and so we go through with it anyway. If you’re looking for ways to speed up your hair drying process, we have a few tips for you.

1. Don’t blow dry when hair is soaking wet. The last thing you want to do is blow dry your hair right out of the shower. Wring up excess moisture with your towel. Finger comb your hair and allow it to air-dry a little. Move onto your makeup and do something else before you blow dry your hair. Also, you should allow your hair to air-dry before applying styling product into your hair, else it’s just going to dry up with all that moisture and it won’t have the desired effect. It will also be way quicker when you blow dry your hair once it’s less wet.

2. Don’t use your brush until hair is 75% dry. You’ve seen experts do this when you go in for a hair cut, they rough dry your hair first with the hairdryer until it’s about 75% dry before they progress to the brush.

3. Section your hair. This is much more effective than tackling your entire head and will save you plenty of time!

4. Blow dry your hair at night. Forget waking up at the crack of dawn to do this, blow dry your hair at night before you sleep and it will save you time in the morning. Also sleeping on fresh blow dried hair may help seal open follicles (when you apply the product to it) and you’ll wake up with less frizz! Also it’s easier to go over your hair in the morning for touch-ups, than to start from scratch.

5. The healthier your hair is, the quicker it will be. If your hair is dry and tired, it’s going to take longer and you’ll also have to spend more time making it look less frizzy. Make sure you have enough conditioning mask treatments and always go for a treatment when you get your hair trimmed.
