A hair dryer comb attachment is used to help straighten, detangle, and add volume to hair while blow-drying.
Steps to Use a Hair Dryer Comb Attachment
Using a comb attachment is relatively straightforward. Here's how to do it:
-
Attach the Comb: Securely attach the comb attachment to the nozzle of your hair dryer. Ensure it's firmly in place.
-
Prepare Your Hair:
- Start with clean, damp hair.
- Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.
- If needed, apply a styling product to assist with straightening or volume.
-
Begin Blow-Drying:
- Turn on your hair dryer to a low or medium heat setting. Start with the low setting to avoid overheating.
- Work in sections, beginning at the roots.
- Use the comb attachment to gently lift and guide your hair away from your scalp.
- Comb through each section, using a gentle pulling motion, ensuring even heat distribution.
-
For Volume:
- To achieve volume, direct the comb attachment towards the roots, lifting the hair away from the scalp.
- Continue blow-drying the roots while lifting to create lift.

Important Tips
