    Air drying is best for the health of your hair. You can minimize the damage of a hair dryer by using a low heat setting, applying a thermal protectant before you dry, and keeping the dryer moving while you work.

    Detangle gently, apply a bit of leave in conditioner and a dab of styling cream, then leave it alone. Touching your hair while it dries leads to frizz.

    Use argan oil, only a little bit on the ends of your hair. Hair masks are also super helpful when it comes to weak hair.

    Make sure you're using a heat protection spray to maintain smoothness and shield it from the heat from the hair dryer. Also, try using a ceramic barrel hairbrush and blow dry in a downwards direction, as this will further smooth the cuticle which stops it becoming frizzy.

    You can towel dry the hair. Though it will take longer, it will still work. Make sure you don't rub the hair, instead pat it dry with the towel.
