Step-by-Step: How to Use the BaBylissPRO Hair Dryer for a Pro Finish at Home
Let’s break it down so you can get those salon vibes from your bedroom mirror.
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
You wouldn’t fade a beard without prepping the skin, right? Same thing here.
- Start with dry hair
- Apply a heat protectant spray to avoid damage.
- Brush out any knots.
- Section your hair using clips. The smaller the section, the tighter the curl.
Step 2: Pick the Right Nozzle & Settings
If your hair is fine or damaged, go for a lower setting (around 160-170°C). Thicker hair can handle higher heat (up to 210°C). The BaBylissPRO curling wand has adjustable settings, so tailor it to your hair type.
Step 3: Wrap It Right
Hold the wand with the tip pointing down. Take a 1-inch section of hair and wrap it around the barrel away from your face. Hold for 8-10 seconds.
- For loose curls: Use bigger sections and a larger barrel.
- For tighter curls: Use smaller sections and a thinner barrel.
Step 4: Let It Cool
Release the curl into your palm and let it cool for a few seconds before dropping it. Don’t touch it too much! This helps set the curl better.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the curls to loosen them up.
- Mist with a light hairspray.
- Add shine serum if needed.
And just like that you’ve got a bouncy, polished look using the BaBylissPRO curling wand.
FAQs
Here are some common questions (from places like Reddit, Quora and Amazon) answered in barber-style plain English:
Q: Can I use it every day?
A: You can, but don’t overdo it. Heat styling daily can dry your hair out. Use a solid heat protectant. Also, give your hair some no-heat days to rest and recover.
Q: Is it okay for short hair?
A: Yup! Just go with a smaller barrel and wrap small sections of hair for better control. You can create tight curls or soft waves depending on how long you hold the curl. Use a texturizing spray to add grip and volume for that tousled, styled look. Works a treat.
Q: Does it work on thick/coarse hair?
A: 100%. The BaBylissPRO curling wand heats evenly and high enough to tackle thick or textured hair. Start at a higher heat setting, but always test a strand first. Make sure to section your hair and curl in layers so the heat reaches all parts evenly.
Q: Can I use it with extensions?
A: Yes, just be gentle and keep the heat on the natural part of your hair, not the bond or glue. Hold the wand slightly away from the scalp and curl only the natural hair blended with the extensions for a seamless finish. Just be gentle.
Q: How long do curls last?
A: Depends on your hair type, For best results, use a curl-enhancing mousse before styling, hold each curl in your palm to cool before letting it fall, and finish with a light-hold hairspray, you’ll get a full day (maybe more) out of it. Need more guidance on those effortless curls? Give it a read.
