HH Simonsen Compact dryer

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a hairdryer:

1. Prepare Your Hair
Towel Dry: After washing your hair, gently towel-dry it to remove excess moisture. Avoid rubbing your hair too hard to prevent frizz and breakage.
Heat Protection: Apply a heat-protective spray or serum to your damp hair. This protects your hair from heat damage.
2. Choose the Right Settings
Heat Setting: Use a lower heat setting for fine or damaged hair. For thick or coarse hair, a higher heat setting may be necessary.
Speed Setting: Use a higher speed setting if you're in a hurry or have thicker hair. A lower speed setting is better for more controlled styling.
3. Section Your Hair
Divide Your Hair: Use clips to divide your hair into sections. This helps you dry and style your hair evenly. Start with the lower layers and work your way up.
4. Dry Your Hair
Start with the Roots: Hold the dryer a few inches away from your scalp and dry the roots first. This adds volume and prevents flat hair.
Use a Nozzle: Attach a concentrator nozzle to direct the airflow. Point the nozzle downward to smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz.
Brush While Drying: Use a round or paddle brush to guide your hair as you dry it. This helps in straightening and smoothing your hair.
5. Finish with Cool Air
Cool Setting: Once your hair is about 80% dry, switch to the cool air setting. This helps to set your style and adds shine.
6. Final Touches
Style as Desired: After your hair is completely dry, you can use a curling iron, straightener, or any other styling tools for your desired look.
