I never learned how to properly blow dry my hair, and I feel that it’s time. My hair is somewhere on the 2b-2c-3a spectrum and is currently upper-chest length with long layers. Any tools, products, or techniques to recommend? I’m interested in achieving a smoother blown out look as opposed to diffusing it for curls.

L'ange Hair Le Volume: This is a total game changer! I could never blow dry my own hair- I felt like I didn’t have enough arms, even though I’m lucky enough to have two. But this is a BRUSH and a DRYER in ONE. 🤯

Book a session with a hair stylists to learn how to blow dry: Ask around at local salons if you can book some time to have a hairstylist teach you how to blow dry your specific hair. My local subreddit has a few stylists who they love for learning this.

Round Hair Brush: I’m not particular on brand, but using a big round brush during your blow out will be huge for you. The bigger the barrel, the straighter / less “curly” your end product will be. Grip your hair with the brush and blow dry it with tension. Point the drier “down” the hair (in the direction of your ends) to keep it sleek and smooth.

Also Abbey Yung on IG and YT has a bunch of drug store product recs!

Enjoy! 💗
