A hair dryer is a useful tool when it comes to achieving dry, frizzy hair. The nozzle is a component attached to the top of the hair dryer that protects your hair from direct heat, allowing you to dry your hair without damaging it. Here’s what you need to know about how to get wrinkle-free, lightly wavy hair.

Dry Your Hair with a Hair Dryer

Use a shampoo and conditioner that will help tame frizzy hair and protect your curls.

• Try using all-natural products and cleansing with oils rather than soap to keep your hair looking healthier and smoother when it dries.
• Avoid harsh shampoos made with sulfates, which can dry out your hair and make it look stupid and shriveled.

Pat your hair dry with a soft towel. Squeeze out excess water, but do not wring or twist your hair with a towel. Treating your hair roughly can cause the roots to fray and make it look shriveled.

Use anti-wrinkle serum. Work a serum or other heat-protective product into your hair, starting at the roots and making sure the ends are covered as well. This will enhance the softening effect of the nozzle as it dries your hair.

Attach the nozzle to the end of your hair dryer and set it to medium or low. Place the nozzle on your head close to the roots of your hair and start making circular motions.

• Don’t use a high-end hair dryer. A large amount of heat will defeat the role of the air nozzle in minimizing shrinkage.
• Use the tines on the air nozzle to gently comb your hair and let it dry underneath.

Blow dry your hair downwards to the ends. Continue massaging the hair nozzle into your hair in circular motions until your hair is dry to the ends. As you blow-dry down, gently push your curls with the nozzle to help reshape them and give your hair some bounce.

Use more anti-wrinkle serum. When your hair is dry, keep it smooth and bouncy by applying more anti-wrinkle serum, mousse, or any styling product you like.

Styling Hair with Hair Dryer Nozzle

Keep your hair moist. Wet your hair slightly under the shower and towel dry, or spray it all over with a spray bottle filled with water to keep it slightly damp. Keep your hair slightly damp throughout, including underneath, paying attention to the roots. Your hair should be damp when you’re done, but not soaking wet.

• If you want, you can start the styling process after shampooing and conditioning your hair. If your hair is completely wet, you’ll have to take longer to style it.
• You can try using a blower to style dry hair, but the results won’t be as good.

Pull your hair up and start blowdrying. Use the nozzle in a circular motion behind your head. Pay attention to the hair roots on the top of your head. Blowing your hair from the back can add dimension to your hairstyle.

Turn your hair over and pinch it up, then wrap the hair with the prongs of the air nozzle and pull it up. Gently pull up the roots, then lower them, then pull them up again, then lower them again, and repeat this process until the roots are completely dry.

Use the nozzle to add volume to your hair by blow-drying towards the ends and pushing the curls up every few centimeters. This causes your hair to dry naturally and form curls or waves, rather than drying straight.

Place the nozzle under the ends of your hair so that the mouth of the nozzle faces the ceiling. Blow-dry your hair starting from the bottom of the hair, while gently pushing the hair upwards to create natural curls or waves at the ends.

Use a lotion that maintains curls and waves. Use mousse, leave-in conditioner, or other products to maintain style. Apply them to your hair in circular motions, rather than brushing them, to maintain the integrity of the style.

• Do not comb or brush your hair after styling with a hair dryer as this can cause curls or waves to become out of shape. If you need to untangle your hair, just comb it through with your fingers.
• Hair should have natural elasticity after styling. Therefore, don’t use too much hair spray or other heavy-textured products as this can weigh down your hair and make it straight.

Use a Hair Dryer Nozzle on Straight Hair

Many people with straight hair are surprised to find that their hair becomes naturally curly when using a hair dryer. To create this effect, the first step is to completely wet your hair. Either wash and conditioner or rinse your hair directly under the shower head and gently towel the water out of your hair so that it has a little bit of moisture instead of dripping wet.

Flip the lower part of your hair up first and smooth it out from the back. Using circular motions, blow dry the roots first and then move down the back of the hair. Turn the back of your hair up and gently move the nozzle down along the roots while constantly creating curls one by one.

Continue blow-drying your hair, moving it gently from root to tip until your hair is completely dry.

Use your fingers to lightly apply a little curling product to your hair. Also, press down on those waves and curls that formed when you blow-dried your hair. Finally, spray a thin layer of medium-setting water to set the style.

Tips

• Different curly hair styling products can create different curly hair effects. Some mousses can create voluminous waves, while some thicker gels can create more defined curls.
• If your hair is naturally curly, remember not to use styling products containing alcohol or silicone as the main ingredients when using a hair dryer. Although these products create a sparkling effect when you first use them, the curl-enhancing ingredients in these heated mixtures can dry out your hair over time.
