Q&A for How to Blow Dry Your Hair Without Getting Damaged

Start by drying off the root area and separating the hair into manageable, 2-3 in (5.08-7.62 cm) sections. Then, follow the blowdryer down your hair with a vent or round brush.

The key is to keep the flow of air going down the hair shaft. This helps keep the hair shiny and the cuticle lying flat.

The heat protection is here to protect you from your hairdryer. So if you use heat protection, it is not bad for your hair.
