Beauty Tips & Tricks

Blow Drying Beauty Tips & Tricks

This article is the introduction to proper Blow Drying with Tips & Tricks.   This can be used as a reference and not to be a replacement of you own professional stylist.  By following these steps in sequence and you should have excellent results.

Have you ever blow dried you hair and ended up with a frizzy, hot mess? 

Let's start at the beginning , and do the prep the proper way!

The Shampoo- The First Thing.

  1. The first thing is to start with a good shampoo, such as CHI Infra.  Dampen the hair with warm water, apply a nickle to quarter size dollop of shampoo to your hands, work through the hair.  Follow by massaging the scalp, to increase circulation, and feed the hair shaft, lather  & then rinse well.  Repeat if needed. Proceed to the next step....

STOP! Before proceeding, you must remove excessive water!

2.  Remove excessive water by towel blotting before apply conditioner. Why?  What is the Reason?  If too much moisture is left in hair it will dilute the conditioner! Therefore, your conditioner will be inactive.  The next step is conditioning.

Conditioning is a must.

3.  Conditioning  is important to smooth down and seal the cuticle. Use the proper blend for you hair type.  Apply first to the mid-shaft and ends, and then what is left over apply near the scalp.  The ends of the hair has been around longer and therefore need more conditioning. Conditioning is a must! Use only a small amount, usually around a dime to nickle size, work through and leave on for 3 - 5 minutes.  It take this long for the cuticle of the hair shaft to close down, resulting in those silky locks. Rinse, Rinse, Rinse using a warm water, making sure to remove all product. Left over product will result in the effect of dull, heavy, hair that will easily attract dust, dirt and other pollutants.

Product Selection.

4.  Proper product selection will help you achieve desired effect.   Apply selected styling products, comb through the hair gently. When blow drying the hair, it is important to be gentle.  Use a brush that is designed for blow drying such as an anti-static vent brush, and finish with a boar bristle or thermal brush for fine tuning the style.

Smooth the Cuticle

5. Finally - Section the hair. Sectioning  into easy to manage partings, with your dryer on medium heat and medium air flow. Start at the scalp area and work down the shaft towards the ends of the hair, do not rough up the cuticle.  Smooth the hair into the direction and the shape you prefer it to go. Remember to be gentle, and when you get your hair into the shape you like then cool the heat down to "Set" the style.

The Finish

5.  Follow with you curling iron, flat iron or other thermal tools if needed. In addition remember to use a thermal product to protect your hair from the excessive heat that these new tools generate.

Anatomy of Hair 4

I would like to emphasize that hair is made of fiber, and fiber is delicate.  You must be gentle to be effective and select the proper blend of styling products for your hair type. The right shampoo, conditioner, styling products, and tools will make your styling much easier. In conclusion, by being more effective, and less aggressive on the hair, you will achieve beautiful results.  Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

My Favorite Styling Products and Why.

What are my favorite products?  Starting with CHI Infra Shampoo, because it is gentle enough to use every day and you must start with clean hair! pH balanced to help cleanse your hair without over-stripping it and removing your beautiful hair color.

Infra Treatment Conditioner by CHI,  has vital nutrients, lipids and silk to sooth and condition the hair without weighing it down. Again, I cannot stress enough the importance of a great hair conditioner.

Silk Infusion Serum, smooths and de-tangles with added protein to strengthen the hair fiber.

Before you curl or straighten you must use my favorite - Quick Curl Thermal Spray, it starches the hair slightly, resulting in better curl retention.

Finally a soft/medium hold product such as Aquage defining gel.

These are just a few of the wonderful products we have at Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy.  We can help you in selecting the proper blend of products just for your hair styling needs. It's always important to custom blend for your own specific needs.  This is the reason I'm here, to help you with your hair and beauty issues.
