Hair Drying Techniques: The hair needs to be 70-80% wet when blow drying. Use a nozzle at all times when drying. This forces the cuticles (the outermost protective layer of a hair strand) to lie flat which will de-frizz the hair. Angle the hairdryer nozzle to point down the hair shaft, following the direction of the natural cuticle.
RICHARD’S TOP TIPS FOR FRIZZ-FREE HAIR:
Don’t overdo the amount of product you use to prep the hair.
Use real bristle brushes or a mix of real and fake bristle as this forces the cuticle to lie flat.
Avoid metal brushes because they can lift the hair's protective cuticle and cause more frizz.
Small amounts of serum at the ends once the blow dry is done will calm down stray hairs.
Always opt for finishing products such as Anti-frizz finishing sprays.
