Do you need to change the dryer?
Do you need to change the dryer?
You have to change the dryer if any of the following occurs: you have dropped it - so it is possible that sooner or later the resistance will break - you feel too hot or it takes a long time to dry your hair and, above all, if you notice the tips very dry, precisely after use.

Which one I choose?
If you are thinking of changing the dryer, we recommend one that is ionic. It is more expensive, but its professional motor with advanced technology completely closes the cuticles, offers faster drying, reduces frizz and is quieter.

Protect it well first
Protect it well first
Before using the dryer, always apply a thermal protection spray to your hair to protect it from heat. Thick hair withstands temperature better than fine hair. Even so, it is best to select the temperature in one nm, moderate position and increase, in any case, the power. Hair will dry fast without damage.

The brush helps
The brush helps
Ceramic thermal brushes transmit heat evenly and retain temperature, making hair easier to style. In addition, thanks to the negative ions generated by this material, hair frizz is avoided when drying. And you, what do you wear your hair with?

The proper technique
The proper technique
You should never dry soaked hair, but slightly damp. First remove the excess water with a towel (better microfiber). Then, put the dryer about 35 centimeters from the hair, while you run the brush.
Smooth and moving
Smooth and with movement
Use tweezers to part the hair. If you dry it strand by strand the finish will be more precise and you will work it easier. Don't forget to use the nozzle to better direct the air and speed up the straightening. And if you want it to have more movement, give it a touch of cool air once you have dried the hair.

Keep the curl
Keep the curl
Before drying your hair, apply a specific cream for curls and define them using the diffuser of the dryer, but on low power. It is best to fluff up the curl with your other hand while using the diffuser, but without touching it excessively so that the hair does not frizz.

Beware of thick hair
Beware of thick hair
If you have very thick hair, do not even think about drying it by turning your head upside down or you will gain much more volume. It is advisable to use the dryer together with a comb with constant and controlled movements from medium to ends so as not to end up with an uncontrolled leonine mane.
Avoid touching your hair
Avoid touching your hair
You have managed to style your hair and you have it perfect. What can spoil it all? Touch it continuously. Even if you think that with this gesture you control it, the only thing you do is cause frizz by friction.
Tame it with keratin
Tame it with keratin
If your hair is really out of control, it is worth investing in a keratin treatment at the hairdressing salon. It adds shine, softness - even to the most frizzy hair - and restructures the fiber, giving it more body. It will be much easier for you to style, and it will dry faster!

Blow drying your hair is not harmful to your hair as long as you know how to do it right. When you leave the salon, your hair looks shiny and healthy, but when you dry it yourself, the results are not so spectacular? It's because you're doing it wrong. But if you follow our advice, drying your hair at home will no longer be an impossible mission.
How to dry hair RIGHT
- For starters, go for a GOOD dryer. We recommend one that is ionic (it is much quieter and reduces frizz). If you are thinking of changing the dryer, here you will find the best models.
- Don't forget the thermal protector. Be aware that applying heat to your hair can damage and dehydrate it. The thermal protector will not eliminate the damage completely but it will reduce it. If you want to dry your hair without damaging it and you are in a hurry, increase the power of the air but not the temperature. Ah! And when drying your hair, use tweezers to divide it into sections.
- Invest in a thermal brush: it will transmit heat evenly and retain temperature, making it easier to style your hair!
- You should NEVER blow dry hair that is wet, but slightly damp. So remember to remove excess water with a towel first.
- If you have curly hair, apply a specific curl cream before drying your hair. Use the diffuser of the hair dryer to define the curls well.
- Do you have thick hair? Don't dry it by turning your head upside down! This way you will gain more volume.
- And if you don't want your hair to get frizzy again, don't touch it!
- To get rid of frizzy and damaged hair once and for all, try the keratin treatment. It will repair the hair fibers, which will help to strengthen and nourish it (and prevent frizz).
