At HHC, we emphasize the importance of using the right temperature when drying your hair to maintain its health and prevent damage. Here’s a guide to ensure safe and effective hair drying:

Low to Medium Heat:

  • Ideal for fine, thin, or damaged hair to prevent heat damage and minimize breakage or split ends.

Medium to High Heat:

  • Suitable for thick, coarse, or curly hair, which may require more heat to dry effectively. Use with care to avoid excessive heat exposure.

Cool Setting:

  • Perfect for finishing the drying process, as it helps seal the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, and add shine. Safe for all hair types.

Expert Tips from HHC:

  • Keep your hair dryer at least 6–8 inches away from your scalp to protect from direct heat.
  • Use a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and move the dryer continuously to ensure even drying.

At HHC, we care about your hair’s health, and with the right drying techniques, you can keep your hair looking its best.
