Question: How to Straighten Your Hair Using Blow Dryer?

Do you want to strighten your curls or calm the frizzies? All you need are a blow dryer, a round brush.

Wash and condition hair.
Blow dry. Hair should be almost dry when you begin.
Gather up hair into several sections and secure or clip hair on top of your head.
You will be drying the bottom layers first.
Follow the brush (with your dryer) down the sections of hair as you straighten each section and be sure to keep the dryer moving.
Take down a new section of hair and procede as directed above.
Work your way up the layers until all sections are dried and straightened.
To curl the ends for a polished look, take your brush and pull the ends under. Finish your styling with a blast of cool air if your hairdryer has this capability.

Tips:

Be sure to condition your hair often. Sun, cold temperatures plus the use of your hair dryer can be hard on your hair.
For best results, use products formulated for your hair type. It does make a difference.
Give your hair a break and allow it to dry naturally as often as possible.
Have split ends snipped every six weeks to two months to ensure that they don't travel up the hair shaft.
