When you hop out of the shower, you want to apply a product to your hair that will help contain your frizz, upkeep your volume, and help protect your hair from the heat a blow dryer release
For:
use a volumizer (typically a spray), which will help maintain the quality of your hair, and not pull down the certain look you are going for.
Anti-frizz: Cream or oil product
Look for shampoos and conditioners that are: clear, no heavy, creamy products! This will make your hair oily.
Use a thickener, which is a heavier product that will be powerful enough to control your hair, yet not too heavy that it will bring the body of your hair down.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that are: a regular moisturizing shampoo. Use leave-in conditioners or rinse in’s.
Anti-Frizz: light cream or serum

Before blow-drying your luscious locks, keep in mind that your hair should not be soaking wet, or completely dry. After getting out of the shower, towel dry, brush, then towel dry again before adding product. However, dry hair should NOT be blow-dried, as it will be burned and damaged faster than you can say taa-da!.
You will need a hair clip and a round brush. The brush size depends on the length of your hair (larger brush for longer hair, smaller for shorter). Using this type of brush will give life to your hair, whether you are trying to straighten curly hair, or plump up straight strands.
1. Apply products first, as they are heat activated.
2. Start with the first layer of your hair and then work out. Using a wide toothcomb brush, divide your hair into 1–2 inch pieces, and clip.
3. Bring the blow dryer up in the air, above your head, and point down to get the most affective frizz-free dry. Wrap your hair around the round brush and begin to dry.
Do not hold the dryer too close to your hair, as this enhances your chances of burning your locks.
After blow-drying, use a molding cream to create and maintain your hair’s stamina. Always begin with a small amount, and work your way up if you want more. Never apply this product directly to your scalp, rather start mid way down your hair’s length, to avoid making your roots look oily.
Practice makes perfect! Play around with your hair, test out different products to see which one works best for you, and just have fun! There are an endless amount of options available to sass up your look in
thanks for the tips, i have four too many bad hair days a week…. perhaps its because i convinced myself that blow drying my hair when its already dry will help enhance volume??
I didnt think about the damage I was doing…
Blow drying down makes a BIG difference.
I cant believe that the direction you do that actually makes a difference.
It defrizzed my hair by at least 75 %.
