Q&A for How to Blow Dry Men's Hair

If you're using a blow dryer correctly, it's neither good nor bad. It's more of a cosmetic thing to make sure that your hair is styled the way you want. Hair can kind of dry in a funny way if you don't blow dry your hair, so it's a good idea to blow dry your hair if you're going for a specific style.

You can make hair straight with a dryer. This works best with a boar bristle brush or a comb that can provide tension while you're drying. A straightening balm also helps.

This depends on the result you are trying to achieve. Mousse is great for creating volume, while a straightening balm or gel is great for smoothing.

Use the comb to pull the hair out straight and follow closely behind it with the dryer. Always work roots to ends with the dryer pointing down the hair shaft.

Blow drying can straighten your hair or it can enhance curl. It can also add volume. It all depends on the products and technique that you use.

Always apply a thermal protectant first. If you'd like to get more volume, blow-dry your hair upside down while using a root boost or volumizing spray.

Proper product application and proper tools will help avoid frizz. Always use a thermal protectant, and use a blow dryer with a nozzle.

You do want your hair to be partially dry before you blowdry it so it's not as frizzy and doesn't take as long to blowdry. You can let your hair air dry for a bit before you blowdry it, or you can use a towel to blot it so it's not sopping wet. If you do use a towel, avoid rubbing, squeezing, or twisting your hair, which can damage it.
