Many people think that they can either tousle their hair for a few minutes while aiming a hot blow dryer at their hair, while others opt to skip blow drying completely. Blow drying hair straight is important, however, because it helps prevent frizz and works to smooth down the hair cuticle, which makes styling easier.
