If women traditionally dedicate an evening to shampooing their hair to have it perfect when needed, it is obvious that the procedure is not a trivial matter, especially since it includes the styling phase, and therefore hairdryer, blow dryer, brushes and various accessories. This is, in fact, the most insidious moment, when dangers like frizz, opacity, crease that does not hold show up around the corner. For Italian women, according to a survey conducted by Xiaomi, a world leader in technology with hundreds of products also for hair care, this moment is not exactly among the favorites.
41% of the interviewees, in fact, if they could, would gladly save themselves the boredom of drying them and for 38% it is even a big nuisance. Most of those consulted (52%) take between 10 and 20 minutes to dry their hair, 32% between 5 and 10 minutes, and a scant 11% (probably with a shorter cut) never exceeds 5 minutes .
Yet effect hair glass hair, in a short time, e without a hint of frizz on the horizon are women’s desire # 1.
To understand how to dry your hair at home with a goal “as shiny as a mirror and smooth as silk” we asked Igor Rago, artistic director of ghd Italia, the brand that internationally curated the look of many stars at the recent Grammy Awards, including Camila Cabello, Lana Del Rey, Lizzo and Rosalia.
Perfect drying strategy
“The position of the strands is of great importance, they must be positioned at 45 degrees and the hair dryer must also have the same angle, and if you take larger portions it improves the quality of the texture because the air is distributed more widely and with this inclination close the cuticles. A rule to apply both for a wavy and a smooth style ».
«Drying should never start from the hair dripping with water, but towel-dried, because if they are too wet they become less elastic and can break earlier. It is important to dab them from excess water even before untangling them, preferably after applying a leave-in spray conditioner ».
«The brush also has its importance, a Paddle Brush with shaped teeth that do not get entangled because they are soft and that bend when they find the knot, without opposing resistance, is to be preferred. This brush is also perfect for a smooth style: put it under the strand and run the hair with the hairdryer at 45 degrees until it is totally dry ».
«The right direction to dry them is by going down, holding the lock with thumb, index and middle finger, without ever” shaking “them: you have to keep the hair compact, flattening and pulling it without exaggerating with the traction. Hair dryer and hands follow the same line, to avoid tangling and knotting ».
«The brush for the wavy crease must be of the round ceramic ones, it guarantees an extra glossy effect because it overheats so that the ceramic emits ions. A procedure that gives brightness to the hair: it makes it appear shinier because it closes the cuticles. The Ceramic Brush should be placed under the lock, making a 45 degree projection together with the hairdryer. If, on the other hand, you want to create a more active shape, you can dry your hair completely with a hairdryer, using only your hands as a comb, and when that 10% is missing, take macro sections of 3 or 4 centimeters, and wrap the tips up to half length as if it were a curler. Dry for 8 or 10 seconds, then give yourself a blow with cold air, unroll the lock, brush and re-shape the curl with your fingers, to have a wavy and soft tip. A wave or curl that resists requires a brush stroke three times keeping the hair dryer pointed for 12 seconds (count mentally to help you) ».
«To remove frizz or fluttering, it is important to always keep the hair compact, crushing it and never drying it upside down or opening the locks. Never, then, dry them too much because they become hard and electrify ».
«Never rest the nozzle of the hairdryer on your hair, not only because the hairdryer is blocked but also because it burns».
