Perfect drying: 5 steps to have beautiful hair every day

1. Never dry very wet hair in direct heat.
A big mistake, but common among women, is drying and styling with very wet, freshly washed hair: a real terror for your hair. The more water on the hair, the more the heat is concentrated on it and when this evaporates, the water in our hair dries it out causing it to lose its natural protection and hydration. So our advice is to pre-dry them well with a towel and start using the hair dryer with a warmer temperature. Once your hair is 100% dry, you can start creating the style.

2. Put on a protective conditioner to protect the hair from heat
This is the golden tip! Perfect drying is always accompanied by a thermo - protective spray product such as the Revlon One hair treatment lotion on offer for € 7. Just spray it on your hair one minute before using the hairdryer.

3. Avoid direct heat for a long time
The heat of the hair dryer, in addition to providing the risk of drying out the hair, can also dry out the scalp. Pay attention to the heat exposure time and try to avoid direct drying of an area for more than 2 minutes. Alternatively, the air temperature can be lowered.

4. Maintain the minimum distance
Even if you use the hair dryer at a low temperature, pay attention to the distance between the hair and the hot air. The ideal is about 10cm.

5. Cool your hair
When your hair is dry, use the cool air button to help it cool down faster and make it shiny.
