Blow Dry FAQs
A blow dry is a hair drying method that uses a handheld hair dryer to accelerate water evaporation from the wet strands of your hair’s surface. It’s often used to style hair. You can blow dry your hair at home, but nothing quite beats a professional salon blow dry.
Wait until your hair is at least 80% dry before you start blow drying it, and prep it first with a heat protectant. Use a volumising heat protectant if your hair is fine, a smoothing one if your hair’s prone to frizzing, and a leave-in conditioner if your hair is curly. You should also untangle any knots and section off your hair with clips before you begin your blow dry.
We wouldn’t recommend it. Heat is damaging to hair, so daily use of a heated styling tool like a hair dryer is likely to strip your hair’s natural oils, dry the cuticle and cause frizz and breakage.
Cost depends on the salon you choose and your stylist's level of experience, but in Hillcrest you're likely to pay between ZAR 35 and ZAR 850.
The time it takes to blow dry hair depends on its length, type, texture and the style you want to achieve. If you have short hair, it can be blow-dried in about 5-10 minutes; longer hair takes around 15-30 minutes.
Ideally. Unless your stylist is doing it for you. Oily hair can flatten hair, so it’s best to have a blow dry after your hair’s been freshly washed.
