Blow-drying curly hair is a hair styling technique that involves directing hot air from a blow dryer onto damp, curly hair to straighten or style it. A common example is using a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment to enhance the natural curls and reduce frizz.
Blow-drying curly hair has become increasingly popular due to its ability to create a variety of looks, from sleek and straight to voluminous and bouncy. It offers benefits such as reducing drying time, enhancing shine, and minimizing tangles. The technique has evolved since its origins in the early 1900s, with the introduction of advancements like ionic technology and ceramic-coated nozzles.
