Start with ‘a rough dry.’ “Skip the salon” and the premium so many women pay to “transform our frizz” into the sleek look pros achieve. There’s a two-step process to the art, and it begins with blow-drying your hair until it’s about 80 percent dry, “using your hands to get rid of excess moisture.”
‘Over-direct’ your tresses. During that first step, “dry your hair in the opposite direction of how you want to wear it.” Stylists call this over-directing the hair. The technique “involves flipping it over and looking pretty ’80s, but it locks in natural-looking volume.”
