Hidden button in a hair dryer. It’s worth using
It is difficult for people with long hair to imagine life without it. Thanks to it, freshly washed strands are dry faster and ready for styling. It is worth emphasizing here that modern hair dryers do not damage hair and are completely safe. Dried hair is shinier and softer, and the cuticles are closed.
Modern hair dryers are always equipped with a “cool shot” function. This is a button that releases cold air. Contrary to appearances, this option is not intended for temporary shrinkage during drying, although you can also successfully use it for this purpose. Cold air, or cool shot, is very important when styling hair. It fixes the hairstyle and also provides care. Unlike warm air, it closes cool air, protecting it from damage. This makes the hair shinier after drying. It can also help add volume to your hairstyle and lift the hair from the roots.
How to use the cold air function when drying your hair?
Hairdressers recommend treating the cool shot as a closing and final stage. First, dry your hair with warm air (always adjust the temperature to the condition of your hair, and then turn on the cold air for 3/4 minutes. Cover the entire hair thoroughly. Dry it from top to bottom so that the strands become smooth and shiny. Never dry your wet hair with cold air. It will take a lot of time, and you may catch a cold.
Should I blow dry my hair or leave it to air dry? What do the experts say?
There used to be a belief that all hair styling devices that use heated air damage the hair. It was true. Hot air and heat styling damaged the cuticles and caused the strands to become dull and exposed to external injuries. However, modern devices are much safer for our hair, and trichologists increasingly indicate that drying your hair with a hair dryer is a better solution than leaving it to dry on its own. Fungi may grow on wet scalp, leading to skin irritation and dandruff. A sensitive scalp may become more itchy and, in extreme cases, even painful.
Remember to never go to bed with wet hair. Rubbing them on a pillow can seriously damage and break them.
