Get a Clean Slate 

Using a Sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner is very important if you want to know how to blow dry hair. They cleanse and hydrate your hair without stripping them of their natural oils. GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner Duo keeps hair smooth and frizz-free.

Hair Washing Tips Based on Your Hair Type:

  • Fine Hair: Wash every 2-3 days for volume.
  • Curly or Textured Hair: Wash every 5-7 days to retain moisture.
  • Tinted Hair: Wash every 2-3 days to prevent fading.

Gently Dry With a Microfiber Towel

Gently pat dry your hair with a super absorbent towel to eliminate excess water after washing. Also avoid rough towel drying which causes frizz.

Apply Heat Protection

Use a heat protectant on your hair before applying heat to prevent damage. A great option is GK Hair ThermalStyleHer Cream. If you want more volume, then you should use GK Hair VolumizeHer Spray at the roots.  

Divide Your Hair

Use clips to divide your hair into manageable parts. Four sections usually work nicely, with two at the front and two at the back. This method produces a more polished look and guarantees that every section of your hair gets equal attention. 

Start Blow Drying

Divide your hair into 2-4 sections (depending on thickness) using hair clips. Working in sections ensures even drying and prevents heat damage from over-drying certain areas.

The type of brush you use affects your final look. We recommend using GK Hair Round Brush for added volume & bounce.

How to Make Use of A High-Quality Blow Dryer Using the Right Technique:

  • Set your Blow Dryer to medium heat and start from the bottom layers, working your way up.
  • Always hold the dryer six inches away from your hair to prevent heat damage.
  • Tilt the nozzle downward while blow drying, to add shine and reduce frizz.
  • Use a round brush to lift the roots for volume. Curl the ends in soft, bouncy waves for added volume and a polished finish.

Pro Tip: If you have thick hair, part your hair into more sections for better control.

Make Use of the Cool Shot Function

Use your dryer's cold shot button to set the style and seal the hair cuticle after a portion is dry. This step gives your hair a visible shine and extends the life of your blowout. 


Apply Finishing Product

To add more shine, use a light oil or serum after the blowout is finished. The weightless GK Hair Dry Oil Shine Spray protects hair from harmful sun rays and extends the life of your color.

Common Blow-Drying Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping Heat Protectant – This leads to brittle, damaged hair over time.
  • Starting on Wet Hair – Dry your hair at least 50 percent before using heat.
  • Holding the Blow Dryer Too Close – Six inches away is the perfect distance to avoid heat damage.
  • Using the Wrong Brush – A round brush gives volume, while a boar bristle brush smooths your hair.
  • Forgetting the Cool Shot – This step locks in your style and prevents frizz.
