Q&A for How to Blow Dry Hair Straight

If you don't take precautions it can be. I suggest using a heat protectant product and a nozzle attachment on your blowdryer to protect your hair from heat styling and drying. You should also make sure you're sectioning your hair into small portions before drying.

A comb doesn’t create enough tension to straighten out curly hair. You will end up with frizzy waves instead of glossy smooth strands.

Yes, but be aware that if your hair is already dry and damaged, straightening could make it worse. Use lots of thermal protectant and a low heat setting.

Yes, they are both good for your hair.

Spray some hairspray onto your hands until it is liquid, and apply it evenly over the top layer of your hair, then brush it again.

No. You can use a spray bottle or just get your hair wet in the tub without shampooing or taking a full shower.

It isn't really a necessity, as it doesn't affect the straightness of your hair. It's better to invest in some if you have dry or frizzy hair, though.

If you protect it with a satin sleeping cap, it may last through the night, but your hair could rub against the pillow and become frizzy. It's probably best to do in the morning so it will last throughout the day.

Use a leave in conditioner. A lot of them already have heat protection properties.

Yes, but it may make your hair look and feel a bit too oily/greasy afterwards.

Use an iron after blowdrying it, or blow dry each section of your hair 7-8 times.

Yes, you can. The blow dryer brush will help keep your hair smooth and straight, but any brush will do.

Then you may not get your hair straight. Curly hair is pretty too.

It depeneds on your hair type and length; the longer and thicker your hair, the longer it will take to dry. It can take from 15 minutes to an hour.

No. The blow dryer brush keeps the section of hair straight while you blow dry your hair.

Try to use a leave-in conditioner before blow drying and/or try not to put the settings on the blow dryer too high, as it can damage your hair.

I use John Frieda. It works well for all hair types: thick, thin, frizzy. I have frizzy and didn't have to straighten it afterwards.

Yes, but it may be slightly more difficult.

Always seek different moisturizing creams that nourish and make your hair easy to style. For example, make sure when using conditioner you are always have your hair damp, and not fully wet, before applying the cream, as this will prevent your hair from being not soft and quite dry, like when it is time to blow dry or regularly dry.

Mix some egg whites with a little bit of water. Put it into a spray bottle with a bit of scented essential oil to make the hair smell nice and be less frizzy. Spray onto hands and apply to top layer of hair or spray directly onto it.

No, not all conditioners are created equally. If you are really concerned with heat protection for your hair, buy a conditioner that is designed as such.

The same way as shown in option 1, but it might take longer. My hair is really thick and it takes about 30-45 minutes to do one side.

It may become frizzy overnight, but it wont curl or wave. Going over it with straighteners would ensure that it stays, unless you are in humid places for long periods of time.

Yeah, you probably could, but that might not make your hair consistently straight all the way through, because you can't turn clockwise and pull down like you can with a round brush, which helps shape your hair a little bit more.

No, you don't. However, you might not get the super straight look depending on how thick/frizzy/curly your hair is, if you don't use the nozzle as it helps to achieve the super straight appearance.

Try putting mousse in it before you blow-dry it and when it's wet. Then it won't get as poofy, and if it does, you can easily straighten it. I recommend Tresemme mousse.

If you have hair oils, such as argan oil, lavender oil, or other hair oils. If you’re not sure, if the oil you have is suitable for hair, a simple online search should tell you. Do the same thing it says to do with the serum, just with oil instead.

Try a branded and quality hairdryer like JOHN 2200w Super Fast Drying Professional.
