This is the common mistake people make when drying their hair according to a hairdresser

Whether it’s styling a curtain fringe, straightening your hair or just drying it … The hairdryer is an essential part of our hair routine. Unfortunately, it is also very thick responsible for breakage and dryness. It is in any case the observation made by the famous hairdresser Michael Van Clarke that he had to several times, take care of repairing their customers’ hair. Explain to the magazine Glamor United Kingdom what is the most common mistake that leads its customers to consult it:

“A client of mine with fabulous thick medium length hair was struggling with front sections always breaking and parting. He didn’t make sense to me. His wavy hair was growing so well, but his front parts were constantly breaking.

One day she came over and asked for a large round styling brush, saying hers only lasted 4-5 months before it wore out and needed replacing. I found it strange because mine lasts 20 years with daily professional use, so I asked him to bring it to me to see it.

I saw that the large round brush had become a medium round brush because it had loosened the stiff nylon bristles halfway down their length. The hair dryer was too hot and was causing excessive drying. If your brush melts, what do you think is going to happen to your hair? “

You would have understood, using a hair dryer that is too hot, too close and for too long (especially when a concentrator tip is added) damages the hair fiber. The worst, according to Michael Van Clarke, is when you put the concentrator tip directly on your hair for optimal results.

But how to avoid this problem? Well, according to the hairdresser, the solution is much simpler than you think. It would be enough discard the tip of the discord and keep a safety distance of about 2-3 cm between the hair dryer and the wick.

Also recommend if you can use hot styling less frequently and try let them air dry at least once a week.

Hair dryer too hot = damaged scalp

It’s not just the hair that gets damaged when a blow dryer gets too close. The scalp also suffers because as we often explain, it is a skin, with a hydrolipidic film that covers it. This natural protection is very sensitive to heat and can prove to be much less functional if damaged. Of course, high temperatures aren’t the only ones to damage it, but this factor is one of the most determining factors for the health of the scalp, a part of the body often set aside … Now you know.
