Squeeze out extra water with a towel before you start, and apply a heat protectant. Hair that is damp, not soaking, dries faster and needs less heat.
Work in sections and keep the dryer moving. Finish with a cool shot to set the style. Pair your routine with a repair treatment if you heat style often.
