♥Blow Drying and Straightening Hair Products!♥

Hey you guys, hope your all ok and having a wonderful Monday!♥
Today I thought I'd share with you all my hair products I use when I've washed my hair and I am going to blow dry and straighten my hair! I use quite a few products so keep on reading to find out more about them and my opinions on them!

Okay, so after I have washed my hair I use Charles Worthington Turn Up The Volume Blow Dry Spray (4). This product helps you to achieve volume in your hair, obviously as you can tell by the title of the product. It also adds movement to your hair and leaves your ends feeling light and soft! For the best results you can use a round blow dry brush but personally, I find it very difficult to blow dry my hair with a brush so I just use my fingers! But the round brush will add the volume especially to your roots and give a great lift, but I see volume in my hair with a brush, its all personal preference! To use this product all you do is spray onto your wet roots and then brush the product with a wide toothed comb from your roots down to the ends of your hair. You can also use this product in between washes on dry hair to help add volume to your hairstyle for the day!

After I have applied my Blow Dry Spray I then blast my hair with the hairdryer. To help with the volume flip my hair towards to the floor and blow dry my roots this will definitely add volume to your roots! I always have my temperature on the medium heat because if you have it on the hottest heat you could damage the cuticle of your hair. I blast my hair until it is 'damp'.

Now I section my hair, I take the bottom layer and clip up the rest of my hair using a clip as seen in the photo! I now use Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Straightened Lightweight Serum (2). I absolutely love this product! It leaves your hair feeling so so so smooth and soft and helps with frizz on the ends of your hair! It also includes a heat protector, helps to defrizz your hair, and it has shine-enhancing technology which is definitely true! Its suitable for all hair types and for coloured hair! What you do with this product is you pump out the product on your fingers and run it through the sections of the hair you are going to be drying with your hairdryer and leave in your hair for a minute or so then begin to blow dry.

Okay so now I start blow drying my hair, I run my fingers through my hair, keeping hold of my hair to help dry it and to make sure my hair drys straight! With my hairdryer I always have my nozzle on the end, this helps direct the air flow. I always point my nozzle/ hairdryer downwards towards the floor, this will help you achieve a smooth cuticle as you are blowing them down and the cuticles will be laying flat and not sticking up! I always hover the nozzle above the hair, never placing the nozzle on the hair as this can cause heat damage too. I do this to each section of my hair, added the serum each layer I take until my hair is all nice and dry!

After blow drying its time for straightening! I think this is my favourite part of my routine as I love seeing the difference between my natural wavy hair and then the straight hair I have just straightened. The product I use next is Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Straightened Protect, Flatten & Shine Spray (3). This product is also amazing! The aim of this product is to literally straighten your hair! It is for all hair types and coloured and treated hair and it includes an 'Easy-Iron' technology to help smooth out all kinks and waves that you have in your hair. It also helps to increases the resistance to hair damage and makes your hair stronger and makes your hair look more healthier! It has also a heat protection up to 220C and gives your hair a nice shine. What I do with this product is I section my hair just like before starting from my bottom layer, I spray this onto the section making sure I am spraying a arms width away onto the hair! I let it sit for a minute and then go in with my straighteners.

After I have done this throughout my hair and I have finished straightening, I then brush my hair with a paddle brush and style it to how I desire. Then finally, the last product I use to give extra shine is Toni&Guy Finishing Shine Spray (1). This is a lovely style finisher and adds an amazing shine to your hairstyle! It is light and adds amazing dazzle to your sleek hair. You can also spray it over your hair and dry with you hairdryer on cold to add even more shine! All I do is shake it very well before I use the products and spray about 2-3 pumps, an arms widths away, and spray it all over my hair too finish off my hairstyle! And that's that!

Whats your favourite hair products?!
