A hair expert says many people create knots, frizz, and frayed ends by blow-drying in the wrong order. Anabel Kingsley, described as brand president and lead consultant at Philip Kingsley, recommends changing the blow-drying technique to achieve smoother results.
In the guidance reported by outlets, the key instruction is to blow-dry hair from the bottom upward rather than starting at the roots or crown. The rationale presented is that working through the hair in this direction helps manage the hair as it dries, which can reduce tangling and limit the damage associated with over-drying.
Both sources focus on the same expert and the same overall recommendation, with no material differences in the specific advice. The reporting frames the tips as practical, at-home adjustments intended to improve the way hair dries and behaves, particularly for people who experience frizz or knots after styling.
