Use hair clips to keep the upper layers of each section of hair separated.
Brush each section gently taking care not to snap hair strands in order to remove tangles before you begin drying. , While brushing with one hand, follow your brush with the electric dryer.
Move the blow dryer to-and-fro from the top to the bottom of each section in even motions.
