How to prevent hair from blowing out with the help of a hair dryer
One of the best ways to keep your hair from puffing up while you blow dry it is to start at the beginning: by washing it. The products you use (and their goodness) are fundamental in the drying phase . Once dry, you can apply a styling product to define the smoothness and start playing with the brush and hair dryer to make them perfect. Let's proceed in order and discover point by point how not to make your hair puff up!
Hair cleansing
Already in the shower it is important to choose the right product that can help you get smooth hair and prevent it from swelling. There are thousands of products to choose from, ranging from shampoos to conditioners, to nourishing masks and finishing. To understand which one is best for you examine your hair type : if you have curly hair or thick hair, choose a smoothing and anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner. If you have fine hair that tends to “flatten”, use volumizing and hydrating products. Remember to apply a nourishing mask suitable for your hair once or twice a week and use a heat protector which protects the hair from the heat of the hairdryer (and possibly the straighteners).
Choosing the comb
The choice of comb and brush is also important. Use wide-toothed combs , preferably wooden, and Only when the hair is dry use the brush , preferably with boar bristles. Otherwise, you risk electrifying the hair and making it swell.
Styling products
For the final stylist you can choose an anti-frizz or smoothing product which gives shine to the hair and prevents it from swelling. You can also apply a hairspray with flexible or natural hold to ensure that hair remains free to move, easy to comb and disciplined.
Drying with a hair dryer
Start styling by setting the hair dryer's air flow to medium temperature, directing the jet from top to bottom to follow the direction of drying. The best hair dryers are those with ionic technology because they do not stress the hair and are less aggressive. Once the drying is finished, fix the fold with a jet of cold air. It is important to take into account the fact that the smooth fold is mainly due to the combined mechanical action of the hairdryer and brush.

Use warm water for washing
When washing your hair, avoid using water that is too hot , which tends to dry out the hair fiber and promote swelling. Instead, use lukewarm water, which helps maintain the balance of the scalp and reduce the formation of frizz during drying.
Limit direct exposure to heat
Limit your hair's exposure to heat even after washing , avoiding puffing up your hair with prolonged hot air jets and using cold air to set your style and reduce residual humidity. Also, try to dry your hair in smaller sections , focusing the hot air only on the roots and lengths that are more difficult to dry.
Parlux professional hair dryers to prevent hair from swelling
As we have seen, drying with a brush and hairdryer is a fundamental step to obtain a strong hold and to avoid hair puffiness. Consequently, Even the hair dryer itself makes a big difference in the success of the hairstyle. Parlux offers models equipped with ceramic ion technology that protects the hair over time and allows you to obtain smooth folds without swelling the hair.
The main ion technologies mounted on Parlux hairdryers are:
- Air Ionizer Tech® - the Air Ionizer Tech® system mounted on the Alyon® and Digitalyon® hair dryers releases negative ions capable of breaking water molecules and making hair drying faster, leaving it more hydrated and shiny and eliminating the electrostatic effect responsible for blowing out hair. The ion technology is then added to the internal ceramic coating, which allows the temperature of the air jet to be kept constant and helps to distribute the heat evenly, thus avoiding the damaging effect of heat on the hair fiber.
- Ionic & Ceramic® Technology - The combined characteristics of the ceramic effect with the negative ion charge allow the heat to be radiated directly inside the hair without drying the external structure. This new technology preserves the natural moisture of the hair making it shinier, softer and healthier.
