Helping you get those quick haircare wins 💨
Most of us don’t really know our way around the heat and speed settings on our hairdryers, but used properly, they can set and hold hair in place for longer. “I like to think of them as similar to car gears – constantly moving to get to the final destination,” says Zoe.
“The hotter the hairdryer is the more it will mould the hair,” Paul explains. “With Afro Hair you may need to use a higher setting in order to achieve the stretch and finish you want as our curl pattern is tighter,” says Florence. “That said don’t hold the hair dryer at this setting for too long against the section you’re working on. You want to be thorough but swift and use a couple of passes of the hair dryer for each section.
“If hair is prone to greasiness don’t use the hot setting as it increases the oil production,” says Paul. Instead, fine to medium hair works better on a medium, or warm heat setting. “Warm it the hairdryer to shape and smooth,” says Zoe. “If your hair is very fine or delicate you’re better using cooler settings,” says Paul. “If you heat hair over 180 degrees the internal structure starts to break down so with more fine hair types this can lead to split ends over time.
All of the pros agree that the cold or cool setting is essential for setting hair in place. “Over the years, I’ve discovered how much you can do on the cool shot,” says Zoe. “With every section I do, I then spend the same amount of time on the cool setting. It’s important to keep moving through the different settings on all hair types to ensure you are able to create a look and then set it,” she adds.
And speed settings are also important. “I would usually work on a medium speed setting, and move to the highest speed if I am trying to tackle fluffy hairlines to help smooth it out,” advises Zoe.
