Hello! I’m Yumi, stylist at Viange Hair. In today’s blog, I’d like to talk about the proper use of a hair dryer and why it’s so important.

After shampooing, do you dry your hair immediately? Or do you wait until it dries a bit before using the dryer? Perhaps you don’t use a dryer at all and let it air dry? The best thing for your hair and scalp is to dry it right after washing.

Many people think using a hair dryer will make their hair dry or cause damage, but the truth is the opposite. If you don’t use a dryer, your hair will become even more dry and dull, and your hair’s cuticles will suffer damage. It can also cause scalp issues like bad odors, dandruff, itching, and even hair loss.

Of course, improper use or drying techniques can harm your hair and scalp, so it’s important to learn the correct way to dry your hair.

First, before drying, make sure to apply a leave-in treatment. This will protect your hair from the heat, which people tend to be most concerned about..

When using the dryer, avoid holding it too close to your scalp. Move the dryer evenly around your head and make sure to dry from the roots. Thoroughly drying your hair at the roots will help add volume and make styling easier the next day.

If you aren’t in the habit of drying your hair, I highly recommend making it a part of your routine!
