Shake Rattle and Roll

Do you “shake and bake” when it comes to blow-drying? It’s a habit many of us fall into and unfortunately, it leaves less than an impressive finish. Reflections West Stylists advise against shaking your dryer when blow drying your hair; shaking it tends to increase frizz and minimize airflow and temperature, which  increases drying time.  The only exception is when you’re drying fine hair, then it’s ok to shake the dryer (without a nozzle) until hair is 80 percent dry, to rough up the cuticle and create volume. We recommend you put a nozzle on your dryer and apply a  mousse or thermal protector to keep hair from any heat damage for the rest of the styling time. Over drying (baking) hair, damages it and reduces health and shine.  Focus on, stretching and using a cooler temperature to promote smoothness and high shine.
