Which is better, you may ask?
Both ways of drying the hair have their advantages and disadvantages, and there are proper and improper ways of doing both. Read on and find out what these are.

Air drying. Air drying is usually done by people who have short and low-maintenance hairstyles, or by people with curly hair. There are also people who have long hair yet have their hair air dry, as air drying does not subject the hair to excessive heat. Therefore, the hair is not as susceptible to damage as hair that is blow dried.

If you are going to have your hair air dried, it is very important to remember that the hair is at its weakest when it is wet. So, take care not to rub your hair dry with the use of a towel. The friction caused by rubbing the hair with a towel will make the hair brittle and eventually break. Rather than rubbing it, you should instead blot the moisture out of your hair with the towel. Also, be careful not to tug or pull at your hair that much when it is still wet. Once the water is blotted out of the hair, fluff it out with your fingers.

Blow Drying. Blow drying the hair is the most convenient way of doing it, and because most people live fast-paced lives, blow drying the hair is the way most people want to do it. Moreover, drying the hair using a blower adds volume to the hair. But inasmuch that blow drying is very convenient, it is also dangerous to the hair, especially if overdone. It can make the hair very brittle.

If you blow dry your hair, make sure that it is not soaking. Blot the water out with a towel first. Do not hold the dryer too close to your head; keep it at least six inches away from your hair and move the dryer constantly around your head. Protect the outer strands of your hair from being over-dried by bending over and blow drying your hair with your hair hanging upside down. Also, try not to dry your hair completely with the blow dryer. Stop while the hair is still slightly damp.

Whether you air dry your hair or you blow dry it is completely your own choice based on your own lifestyle and preferences. But whatever you do, always remember that the hair is fragile. Be careful while handling it.

About Brazillian Keratin Treatment

We are pleased to announce that through breakthrough technology developed in the United States, Simply Straight Keratin Treatment has created a Formaldehyde Free smoothing formula that provides high performance keratin in a safe, natural smoothing process. With our patent pending molecular bond technology, Simply Straight Keratin Treatment will reduce curl while leaving hair revitalized, reconditioned, and silky smooth.

Simply Straight products use the highest quality, purest keratin derived from botanicals and human hair. Using two types of quality keratin increases the performance of our treatment. Keratin from human hair goes further into the cuticle than other forms of keratin derived artificially or from animals. Keratin from botanicals have bigger molecules that sit outside the cuticle and gently melt into it. Using these two quality forms of keratin allows our formula to penetrate from the inside and out of the hair cuticle, providing better smoothing performance through a natural, healthier process.
