Professional Stylist’s "7 Dos and Don'ts"

【The Dos】

1. Follow the "80% Dry" Rule: Hair is most fragile and hardest to style when soaking wet. Use the dryer without a brush to rough dry your hair to 80% before you start styling.

2. Airflow Must Point Downward: No matter which section you are drying, the nozzle must always point down from the roots to the ends. This closes the hair cuticle, making it smooth and frizz-free.

3. Create "Tension": When using a round brush, apply a steady pull. This tension is the secret to "polishing" the hair for a high-shine finish.

4. The "Cool Shot" Lock: After drying each section, hit it with cold air for 5–10 seconds. Heat changes the shape; cold air locks it in.

【The Don'ts】

1. No "Direct Contact": Never press the dryer nozzle directly against the bristles of your brush. This damages the bristles and can overheat your hair strands.

2. Don’t Stay in One Position: Practice switching the dryer between your left and right hands. Rotate the nozzle angle as you move around your head to keep your posture natural.

3. Don't Style Soaking Wet Hair: If the hair is too wet, the Coanda effect won't attract the hair properly, and the rapid evaporation can cause heat damage.

3. Quick Styling Workflow

1. Prep: Apply a heat protectant to damp hair.

2. Rough Dry: Use the Dyson drying attachment until 80% dry, focusing on the roots for volume.

3. Sectioning: Clip your hair into layers, starting from the bottom at the back of your head.

4. Shape: Use the Airwrap barrels or a round brush. Ensure downward airflow and steady tension.

5. Cool: Use the "Cool Shot" button to set the style.

6. Finish: Use the "Smoothing mode" to tuck away flyaways and apply a tiny amount of hair oil for extra shine.
