There is nothing quite as good as stepping out of your salon with freshly blow dried hair. If you are lucky and also dependant on your hair type a good salon blow dry can last you for up to five days. I am sure we all can sympathise with any one who has tried to blow dry their hair themselves at home and had ended up in a tangle of arms and brushes. It’s not the easiest thing to manage but it can be done.

Just a disclaimer due to the fact that you are doing this yourself and your don’t have four arms you are more than likely not going to be able to get it to look as good as when your stylist does it but it won’t be far off! I think I have came up with a couple of fail safe tips that will make all the difference when you are blow drying your hair at home.

Nope swigging back the rose or having the odd ciggy is going to only go against you in your quest for hair success, although I know you lovely, discerning readers will no doubt already be aware of this.
