Dry your hair with a hairdryer until it is dry or almost dry to ensure a professional, smooth finish. 1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the hair gently from the roots to the tips. 2 Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the back. 3 Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards the hair ends. 4 When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the cold setting for a final cold shot.
