The grass is always greener on the other side, right? Not always, especially when it comes to your hair and it's health. Sometimes when you are constantly putting heat and pressure on your hair to get it to 'perform' the strands get a little 'burnt out'. Working with what you naturally have is always easier.
But - if you are willing to put the time and energy into your hair, you might as well do it the correct and easiest way!
First - Blowdry the hair. But WAIT!!! Do you step outside when it's blazing hot and then sun is beating down on you without sunscreen? No, not if you listened to your mother and father and grandmother and everyone else. So don't 'sunburn' your hair either with your blowdryer. Put something on the strand to protect it from the heat.
Second - Use your blowdryer to remove 60-75% of the water.
Third - Section, section, section!!!! Invest in some hair clips, they make your life MUCH MUCH easier. I usually part in front of the ear on both sides and section that. I then pull the crown into one larger section. Then 2 more sections of the remainder of the hair in the back.
Fourth - Put the concentrator onto the end of your blowdryer (it should have come with this). Start with the bottom section in the back and just use a vent brush to detangle and get some of the wetness out. Then use a round brush to pull it straight and smooth the ends down. When this section is dry, work your way up the head. When you finally get to the crown, separate that into smaller sections and try to pull the brush straight up, to achieve more volume (If you have questions, just ask when I'm styling your hair and I'll elaborate more.)
Fifth - Move to the sides, start blowdrying the bottom section, and then work your way up.
If you need volume - use a round brush and extend it into the air. If you want flat hair, blowdry with a paddle brush and lay it smooth against the scalp.
Also, make sure you're only washing your hair once every other day or every two days. Dirty hair usually styles better than clean; the flyaways are smoothed down, plus it helps to not dry the ends out.
If you feel the need to flat iron your hair, try to only smooth down certain parts the first day to preserve your hair and its health. Make sure that you spray a thermal protectant before using any type of curling or flat iron on your hair to protect it as well.
