How Your Blowdrying Method is Affecting Your Hairstyle

How Your Blowdrying Method is Affecting Your Hairstyle

Read Time: 2 min 16 sec

Blowdrying is a HUGE part of hair care. Whether you air dry, diffuse, or go for an all-out blowout, there is one core note to remember when it comes to drying:

How you blow dry your hair influences what styles will perform best for you until your next wash day.

Diffusing

Your curls are going to look their best! Are you still able to straighten or curl? Totally, but if a straight look is your goal, giving yourself a blowout will be your easiest step to achieving that straight look. And you should let your curls have their moment for a few days if you're going to put in the work to diffuse them!

Initial results: 

  • Natural Curls 
  • Faux Beach Waves 
  • Enhanced Natural Texture 

Day Two(+) Styles to try: 

  • Rock them again! 
    Add a touch of Limitless using the scrunching method to refresh your curls. 
  • 70's inspired headband look
    Part your hair down the middle and use the TYME Iron Pro to smooth a small section of face-framing pieces on either side of your part. Pull the smoothed pieces tight (like a hair headband) and secure them together by the nape of your neck. Apply Limitless to smooth the front section and for a light hold. 

Blowdrying with a concentrator + brush

This is the best combo for getting a great blowout look to last for days and really be able to control the detail in your blowout! This method will give you sleeker, straighter hair, ideal for straightening or curling. With this drying method, it may be difficult reviving natural curls until your next wash.

Day Two(+) Styles to try:

    Spray Limitless on your crown area and face-framing pieces, and refresh those sections with your blow dryer. It will look and feel like a fresh blowout!

BlowBrush

Similar to drying with a concentrator, this tool will give you a sleeker, straighter look, but the curved and flat sides give you more flexibility for instant styles, like a blowout. The BlowBrush is a great all-in-one tool! If you are looking for a refined blow dry style or achieving a fast power dry, it's all possible with the BlowBrush. It's also a perfect tool if you struggle with the brush and dryer combo!

Air Drying

Air drying is an easy solution! Make sure you're still prepping your hair with a product, like Limitless Universal Spray, that will help support future styling. If you plan to sleep on wet hair, a good thing to remember is "where hair dries is where it stays." Sleeping on damp hair may cause more chaos to tackle in the morning.

Initial Results: 

  • Natural Texture

Day Two(+) Styles to try: 

    • Enhance your natural look! 
      Use the straightening side of the TYME Iron Pro and gently apply heat up and away from your face. This will give your face-framing pieces a soft lift. 
    • Give a soft bend to your face-framing pieces!

      The ultimate up-do for the days when you've gone too far: 

      • center-part 
      • low to mid pony 
      • face-frame pieces pulled out or smoothed completely back
