   Drying hair correctly: again, don't pile it up, and don't rub it!

2 While your hair is still damp, gently loosen out any tangles using a brush or a wide-toothed comb. Comb in downward
strokes, starting near the tips and working your way upward towards the roots. This will help to keep the hair from splitting and breaking.
3 Apply a styling product such as a mousse or gel if you like, but don't use too much.
4 If possible, allow your hair to dry naturally.
 Sometimes it may be impossible for you to find time to allow your  hair to dry naturally, and you have to use a hair dryer. If so, here  are some tips about using a dryer:
5 Only use the dryer on damp, towel-dried hair. Don't blow-dry hair when it is dripping wet!
6 Use the dryer cautiously, on the lowest speed and the lowest heat setting.
7 Keep the dryer moving constantly over your whole head. Don't concentrate the heat in one spot, as this can dry out
the moisture from your hair and even damage it permanently.
8 Always switch off the dryer before your hair is completely dry.
