Alternatively, if you choose to use a blow dryer, start blow drying at the top, about 15 cm away from your scalp and maintain that distance throughout to prevent your hair from drying out. When blow drying, instead of concentrating the heat on one area, remember to move your blow dryer around. Lock in the shine by finishing off with a blast of cool air.
