DIY At Home Blow Dry (hair)

Put the Squeeze On

Once you're out of the shower, gently press chunks of hair with a cotton T-shirt; it's so soft, it won't ruffle the hair's outer layer and bring on—gasp!—fuzzies the way a rough towel can.

Flip Out

It's best to blow-dry hair someplace other than your steamy bathroom, to escape the humidity. Tip your head over, and dry roots as you run your fingers through hair, Gurgov recommends. Straighten up while hair is still a bit damp.

Divide and Conquer

Apply another round of product; during hair-raising weather, it's key to keeping frizz under control. If you have straight hair that could use fullness, go for mousse. If your hair is wavy or curly, reach for a straightening balm.
Starting at the back of your head, use a wide-tooth comb to separate hair into four sections—the top, the sides and the back.

Bring the Heat

Unclip the back section of hair. With a medium round brush, lift a 2-inch piece from the roots. Keep the dryer about 1 inch above as you firmly pull the brush out.
"A shiny blowout comes from tension you create with your brush as you dry".

Cool It

When a piece of hair is dry, blast it with a shot of cool air to seal in sleekness. Repeat until all the hair in that section is dry. Then go through steps 3 and 4 with the left, right and top sections.
When they're all dry, mist with a flexible-hold hairspray. That's all you do—so sexy!

DRY Shampoo! How to:

Once a top secret of professional hairstylists, dry shampoo has hit the mainstream: Sales of the do fresheners have more than doubled at department stores in the past three years. Oil-absorbing powers aside, the pros love it because it doesn't leave strands too soft to hold a style.

Straight Hair
USE DRY SHAMPOO TO..
Keep your strands looking soft and  voluminous. Apply the product and then weave your hair into a low side braid. Pull out a few face-framing strands to make the style sexier.

Wavy Hair
Make waves tousled, full, and frizz-free. Apply the product, then wrap section of hair around a 1/4-inch curling iron. Flip hair over and use your fingers to gently shake out your waves.

Curly Hair
Maintain your hair's natural oils. Sudsing too often strips them away, leaving curly locks flat. Apply the product, then lightly mist your hair with a curl enhancer. Twirl strands around your finger to reshape and add definition.

pros debunk biggest hair myth!

RINSE
Over-washing is the most common hair mistake people make, and it can dry out locks and fade color. The best thing you can do is wash your hair every other day. If your hair is oily, try a dry shampoo.
COLOR
Never do a drastic color shade makeovers at home, leave to the pros. If your going to do your own color, stay within two shades of your current color. Especially if you're going lighter.
