 Lesson
THE BLOW-DRYING
1 TECHNIQUES

What’s In

Before you go on with your next lesson, let us try to unlock some words which
you will encounter as you go along with your module.

Definition of Terms:

Mold - it is to form or shape

Tongs -it is an instrument consisting of two arms used for grasping
Crimp -it is to press into small folds
Distort -it is to pull or twist out of shape
Sheen-it is luster and brightness of the hair

What’s New

Drying your finished hairstyle is important. Your clients will judge the quality of
your work by the end result. When blow drying, you can make hair curly, straight or
wavy, or you can make it fuller and give it more volume.
Therefore, blow drying is an essential part in the pre and post service activities.
Hence, this is indispensable to hair and scalp treatment.

WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module TLE 10 5

 What Is It

Do you know how to blow dry your hair properly? Here are some tips for you
to follow.

A. THE PRINCIPLES IN HAIR DRYING

Drying hair is the process of styling wet hair while blow-drying it. Using a
hand-held dryer, you use a variety of techniques to create different effects. While
directing heated air on to the wet hair, you mold the hair with brushes, use a comb or
your fingers, and positioning it to fit the style for which you have cut it.

Like other methods of setting wet hair, blow styling works by changing the hair
structure. While hair is wet, and heat is applied, it can be molded into a chosen
shape. The style is only temporary, though. As the hair gradually absorbs moisture
from the atmosphere, it returns to its original shape. Combing styled hair with hot
water returns the hair to its natural form straight away.

B. THE TECHNIQUES IN HEAT MOLDING

Heat can be applied to hair in other ways:

• To wave it using irons
• To curl it using tongs
• To crimp it using heated crimpers
• To straighten it using hot combs or hot brushes

Like other methods, these techniques depend on the softening effect of heat.
The molded hair must be allowed to cool before it will hold its shape. If you comb
through it while it is still warm, you will lose or distort the shape. Hair molded in this
way returns to its natural state if combed with hot water.

D. THE STYLING AIDS

To have a perfect hair blow drying, you need styling products to achieve its
best result.

E. THE TECHNIQUES IN BLOW STYLING

1. BLOW – WAVING -is shaping the hair into waves, using directed heated air from
hair/ dryer, and combs, brushes, or your hands. It achieves natural soft fullness.

2. BLOW – DRYING -is simply drying the hair with the handheld dryer. It is used to
blow dry hair into a chosen shape, or in a required direction.

3.SCRUNCH DRYING-is the gripping and squeezing clumps of hair while directing
heated air into the hand. The process yields a casual, ruffled, molded shape.

4. FINGER OR HAND DRYING- is the lifting pulling and directing hair with the
fingers or hands. Casual, soft and full shapes can be achieved. Billowing fullness is
perhaps the chief effect.

5. BLOW – COMBING - is the drying and shaping using comb, or a comb attachment
fixed to the hairdryer. It is a kind of blow drying and achieves shape and direction.

6. BLOW – STRETCHING OR STRAIGHTENING -a means of smoothing and

unkinking or straightening the hair. A variety of brush shapes and sizes may be
used.

7. BLOW STYLE -consists of first shampooing the hair, then softening it with a dryer
and finally molding it into shape using a blow-dryer. It may be dressed, if required,
when the hair has cooled.

8. NATURAL DRYING -is leaving the hair to dry naturally, depending on whether the
cut and the style are suitable. Natural drying maybe assisted by the heat of the sun
and wind.

F. THE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED IN BLOW DRYING

The following are tools and equipment used in blow drying.

PICTURE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

1.

1. HAND – HELD DRYER-is the most

important piece of equipment you need. The
dryer should have adjustable speeds and
temperatures and period of durability. It needs
to be light and easy to hold and to have
controls positioned for easy reach.

2. HAND DRYER ATTACHMENTS- such as

nozzles and diffusers are available. Using the
dryer without a nozzle or diffuser allows for a
wider directed air flow.

3.

3. COMBS- these should be professional and

heat resistant. The comb you will use should
have both widely spaced and narrowly spaced
teeth.

Source: amazon.com
4.

4. BRUSHES- these are probably the most

important items after blow dryers. A firm, stiff,
bristle or plastic brush is required. This will help
you to grip, direct and control the hair.

5.

5. DIFFUSER- it fits over the end of the hair

dryer and distributes an even flow of warm air.
It reduces a strong air to flow and is used for
finishing styles. It is ideal for producing soft,
casual, ruffled natural curl looks. It can be used
on various hair lengths.

6. 6. NOZZLE- is intended to concentrate the hot
air flow on to a specific area. It is ideal for blow-
waving as it allows the hair to be directed at the
troughs and crests of the wave shapes.

Source: amazon.com
7.

7. STYLING IRON OR TONGS- these are often

used to finalize a dried hair style. This is an
electrically heated unit. The hair is rolled and
held in place long enough for the heat to soften
the hair. The irons are then slid out to leave a
smooth rolled shape, like that produced by the
rollers.

8. HEATED BRUSHES -they are applied to

dried hair in similar manner for styling tongs.
