Adding volume is even easier if your hair is straight or wavy: “For volume, use a circular motion with your hair dryer,” says Sturdivant-Drew. If your hair is curly or coily and you want a sleek look, try straightening it with a curling iron or brushing it with heat. off“If you want to straighten your hair, use a hairdryer brush and then use another brush just underneath to smooth out all the frizzy hair,” she explains.
How can I minimize heat damage caused by dryer brushes?
To minimise the risk of heat damage, choose a dryer brush that offers multiple heat settings to better regulate the amount of heat applied to your hair. Not all hair types require the same levels of heat, so if you’re breaking in a new dryer brush, pay attention to how your hair reacts to different heat settings as you get used to the tool.
Another tried-and-true defense is to prep your blowout with a heat protectant. Ginger King tell charm, “If you’re using a heat styler or heat products directly on your hair, a heat protectant — usually made with meadowfoam seed oil, lightweight polymers, or silicones — can form a coating on your hair to help minimize damage.” But what’s the best way to prevent heat damage? By avoiding applying too much heat to your hair. Simple, right?
Are blow dryer brushes easier to use than traditional blow dryers?
While choosing a new hair tool is a matter of personal preference, shoppers and professional hairstylists alike vouch for the dryer brush’s ease of use. “We predict that in the near future, all consumers will be using a dryer brush when styling their hair,” said one hairstylist. Devin Toth tell charm. “Drying your hair with two hands (brush in one hand, dryer in the other) is likely to become a thing of the past. Less effort and more efficiency will always be the trend,” he adds. Plus, if you have sore hands or arms or limited mobility, a dryer brush is a great alternative to a traditional hairdryer.
How do I clean my dryer brushes?
Dryer brushes come in a variety of designs, and cleaning methods vary depending on the type of brush barrel, bristles, and shape. “Each brand has different features, but if your brush has a filter, dust it weekly,” Toth says. “If you want to remove any hair stuck in the bristles, use a comb or boar bristle brush cleaner (the brush you use to clean other brushes),” he suggests.
