Towel Dry the Right Way!

  After washing, slightly towel dry – don’t rub! The friction causes split ends.  

Use the Correct Heat Setting!

  Avoid the highest heat setting – the air stream should feel comfortable on your skin.  

Don’t Get Too Close!

  Keep your hairdryer around 8 inches away from your hair throughout the drying process.   

Heat Protection is a Must!

  Always use heat protection spray and don’t blow-dry dripping wet hair – you’re effectively boiling your hair!  

Section Your Hair

  Section your hair and work your way up from the hairline to crown – this reduces prolonged heat exposure on one section of your hair.  

Blow-Dry from Root to End!

  Make sure hair is blow-dried from root to end – this smooths the cuticle layers, meaning healthy, shiny hair for you!   

Don’t Increase the Heat!

  If you’re in a hurry, increase the dryer speed, not the heat.  

Blow-Dry in a Downward Motion

  Always blow-dry in a downwards motion and in one direction, this will prevent frizz.  

Apply a Stream of Cold Air

  At the end of the blow-dry, briefly apply a stream of cool air – this will give your hair more elasticity and lock in shine!   

Please speak to your FG Stylist if you would like a bespoke home-care routine based on your individual hair-type.
