If you have short, fine hair, you may think it's difficult to achieve a sleek, stylish look with a hairdryer. However, with the right technique and the right products, you can create a beautiful blow-dried style with short, fine hair that gives your hair volume and body. Here are a few tips from Velecta® Paris to help you get the best results:

1. Prepare and protect your hair

If you are wondering how you can achieve a smooth blow-dry on your own, the first step is always about how you prepare your hair. Start by washing your hair with shampoo and volumising conditioner. To add volume and texture, apply volumising mousse or hairspray to your hair while it is still wet. Then apply a light conditioner to avoid weighing your hair down. Dab your hair dry with a towel to remove excess water.

Before you dry your hair – and this applies for all types of blow-dry styles – apply a thermal protector cream or spray to avoid heat damage caused by the hairdryer.

2. Drying

Use an ionic hairdryer or brushing hairdryer until your hair is about 80% dry. Start by drying your roots, lifting your hair with a round brush to create volume. Do the same with the rest of your hair.

3. Use a round hair brush

Use a round hair brush that is the right size for the length of your hair. A smaller brush will give you more control over your hair, while a larger brush will give it more volume. Start by brushing the roots of your hair, holding the brush at a 45-degree angle and pulling the brush through your hair while directing the air from the hairdryer onto the brush. Once you have brushed each section of your hair, go over all of your hair using the cool setting to set the hairstyle. This will help the hair to stay in place and give it more shine.

4. Divide your hair into sections

Work on each section separately to make brushing easier. Start at the back of your head and work your way towards your face, one section at a time. Make sure that you use a brush that is the right size for each section of hair.

5. Finishing touches

When you've finished blow-drying, use a finishing spray to maintain volume and texture. This will give your hair extra shine and hold. Avoid touching or brushing your hair at this stage, so as not to flatten the hairstyle. This will allow you hairstyle to stay in place throughout the day.

You can also create a wavy or textured look on short, fine hair using a curling iron or straightening iron. For a more casual look, create natural waves by lightly scrunching your hair with your fingers. Important: to avoid damaging your hair, be careful that you do not apply too much heat. Take your time to dry each section of your hair and use a quality brush for optimal straightening.

By following these tips, you can add volume and texture to your short, fine hair. Try out a few different techniques to see which one best suits your hair.
