Did You Blow Dry Your Hair in the Right Way?

When hair comes into contact with water it swells and the longer the swelling goes for, the more pressure it puts on the delicate proteins that keep hair intact, which can lead to further damage. Minimizing the time you allow it to be wet is a good idea, but you need to dry it in the right way so as not to cause more unnecessary damage.

ghd scientist and Vice President of Smart Devices, Dr. Tim Moore, has come up with the solution:

STEP #1

Start by using a scrunching motion when towel drying; do not rub the towel across hair when wet, hair is weak so is broken more easily when wet.

STEP #2

Spritz wet hair with the ghd heat protect spray; this provides an invisible barrier against everyday heat damage and provides cuticle protection, preventing vertical cracks inside the cuticle which fundamentally causes split ends and irreversible damage.

STEP #3

Use the ghd helios hairdryer and start on a lower heat setting; high temperatures can cause damage to wet hair so start at the lowest setting and very slowly increase the heat as hair becomes more dry.

STEP #4

When you start to feel the hair warm up, that’s your signal to start to turn the heat up on your hairdryer to complete and set your style.

By following the above steps, you are sure to have good hair day everyday!
