Blow Drying Your Bob: A Step-by-Step Guide
Preparation
Before you start blow-drying, make sure your hair is:
- Towel-dried: Remove excess water gently with a towel. Avoid rough rubbing, which can cause frizz.
- Detangled: Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to remove any knots.
- Product-ready: Apply a heat protectant to shield your hair from heat damage. You can also add a styling product that suits your hair type to help shape and hold the style.
Blow Drying Technique
- Sectioning:
- Divide your hair into sections using clips. Start with the bottom layer and work your way up.
- Blow Drying:
- Use a nozzle attachment on your blow dryer to focus the airflow.
- Set the blow dryer to a medium heat and speed setting.
- Take a small section of hair and place the round brush underneath it, near the roots.
- Pull the brush downwards while moving the blow dryer along the hair shaft. Keep the blow dryer nozzle pointed downwards to help smooth the cuticle and prevent frizz.
- As you get towards the end of the hair, slightly curve the round brush under, guiding the hair into a tucked-under position. This action creates that perfect line and ensures that the hair bends in the desired way.
- Repeat:
- Continue this process with each section of your hair, making sure to dry each strand thoroughly.
- As you work your way to the top layers, focus on creating volume and lift at the roots by lifting the hair up and away from your head while blow-drying.
- Finishing Touches:
- Once your hair is dry, use a cool shot from your blow dryer to set the style.
- You can apply a small amount of hair serum or hairspray for added shine and hold.
Tips for a Perfect Bob Dry
- Avoid Over-drying: Don’t stress and focus on drying small sections properly rather than blasting all of your hair with heat. Over-drying can cause frizz and dryness.
- Brush Direction: When using the round brush, ensure you are consistently pulling the hair downwards and under. This will help you to achieve a smooth and sleek bob.
- Section Size: Use smaller sections to get the best drying result. This ensures even drying and styling.
By following these steps and insights from the provided video reference, you should be able to dry your bob effectively, achieving a smooth, sleek and tucked under style.
