Myth No. 11: “Always start blow drying your hair from the back”

You’ve probably read a ton of articles that tell you to section off the top half of your hair and start blow drying the bottom/back section first. That’s actually the wrong way to blow dry your hair. Here’s why: Since the front/top of your hair is the first part everyone sees, it’s the most important and therefore should be styled first, says Jan Spagnulo, Master Stylist at Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa in New York City. This way your hair won’t get a chance to “frizz, curl, or [see] any other change before the blow dry process,” she says.
