A trip down the haircare aisle at your local grocery store will give you more heat protections options that you know what to do with. These products come in a range of delivery methods, from creams to sprays — try out a few different kinds of products to figure out what works best for you. While you don’t want to break the bank, you also don’t want to skimp on these products. They’re available in a wide price range, from $5-6 to $50. Look for products that contain silicone, which is especially good at protecting hair.
Massage your hair at the roots to encourage it to take on volume. Flip your hair upside down by bending forward, and direct the air flow at the back of your head to more easily dry the bottom layer of your hair.

Flip the heat setting on your dryer to cool, or use the frost-boost button if your model of dryer has one. Run the cool air through your hair until it is cool. Allow it to air dry the rest of the way.
