Blow dry for body!

Quite often, you can get the style you seek by using nothing more than a blow dryer and a brush. Blow dryers aren’t just for drying your hair. You can use them to set your hair up for a styling session or you can use them to create the entire look. All it takes is a bit of patience and skill to have your hair looking like it was professionally styled, even though you never left the house!

Disperse your hair products thouroughly. If you use gel or shine spray on your hair, make sure to put this in before you start drying your hair. Disperse it evenly through your hair to avoid any hard, shiny or unseemly looking spots. Try to use products that are meant to help reduce the effects of heat styled hair so that you can minimize any damage to your locks.

Develop body before style. If you want to give your hair some body, try working on the roots first. Hold the hair away from the head and blow dry the roots using a continuous motion. Never let the dryer stay on one spot of your hair for too long.

Get creative with your shaping. You can use round brushes or even your finger to create curls or waves with your blow dryer. Wrap the lock around your finger or brush and dry it using continuous motion. The finger technique has the added benefit of letting you know when the dryer has been in one place too long. If your finger is getting too warm, so is your hair!
