4 Blow-Drying Mistakes You’re Making That Are Ruining Your Hair (And How to Fix Them!)

Intro to 4 Blow-Drying Mistakes You’re Making That Are Ruining Your Hair (And How to Fix Them!)

Do you blow-dry your hair regularly?

You might be surprised to learn that you could make common mistakes that lead to hair damage, even if you think your flat iron or curling wand is the only culprit. Yes, your blow dryer can cause as much harm if not used properly.

Let’s examine four blow-drying mistakes that could be ruining your hair and what you can do to avoid them.

Mistake #1: Starting with Hair That’s Too Wet

We’ve all been there—rushing out of the shower, running behind, and grabbing the blow dryer while your hair is still dripping wet. This slows down the drying process and puts unnecessary stress on your strands.

Here’s the fix: Take a moment to gently towel-dry your hair before reaching for the blow dryer. Use a soft towel to squeeze out excess water, then detangle your hair and squeeze again. Doing this after detangling helps remove more moisture, making the blow-drying process smoother and faster. If you have curly hair, you can even use a paper towel for extra absorption—remember to apply your gels and leave-in conditioners first!

Mistake #2: Using the Hottest Setting

It’s tempting to crank up the heat when you’re in a rush, thinking it will dry your hair faster. While it might, you’ll pay for it later with damaged, brittle hair.

Here’s the fix: Save the hottest setting for specific situations, like smoothing frizz or adding curl to very straight hair. Otherwise, stick to a medium-heat setting to protect your hair’s health.

Mistake #3: Skipping Heat Protection

This is one of the biggest no-nos when blow drying. Heat protection is essential to maintaining long-term hair health and preventing damage from daily styling.

Here’s the fix: Always apply a heat protectant before you start blow-drying. Belegenza offers a range of products that can help protect your hair, such as VirgINity Hair Repair Treatment, SpotLite Shine Serum, and EnCore Leave-In Conditioner. These lightweight formulas do their job without leaving your hair feeling heavy or greasy.

Mistake #4: Drying the Ends Before the Roots

This is a lesser-known mistake, but drying your ends before your roots can cause the dampness at the roots to weigh your hair down, leading to frizz and flatness.

Here’s the fix: Focus on drying your roots first. This will keep the volume and prevent your hair from frizzing halfway through your blow-dry.
