Allowing your hair to dry naturally is obviously the best option if you want to keep your locks smooth shiny, and super healthy. But in the middle of the whirlwind that is modern life, sometimes we feel that Greenwich really is being MEAN with the time – so we have to speed things up! Follow these top 10 guidelines for dazzlingly perfect fast dry hair;

1. Use a moisturizing shampoo  - like Sassoon Luxuriant Clean - that provides extra moisture and should protect your hair from heat damage. Also use a detangling conditioner like KMS Moistrepair leave-in conditioner.

2. Before blow drying, use a brush and comb (that have wide spaces between the teeth) to get rid of tangles.

3. Use a modern professional ceramic blow dryers generate negative ions that make frizzy hairs lay down.

4. To stop dripping, wrap a towel around your head and rub very gently with circular motions – as fast rubbing will damage hair, cause split ends and even pull hair out.

5. Divide long hair into for 4-6 sections to speed-up the drying. If you have thick or longer hair, try using clips to help. If your hair's a bit too short, you may want to just part it into two sections.

6. Always start to blow dry (using a safe temperature) about six inches away from your scalp so hair doesn't burn, while drying the hair on the scalp will also prevent the moisture nourishing the rest of the hair.

7. Comb and brush the hair slowly as you dry.

8. NEVER blow dry in an upwards motion, as this causes more damage, so do it in a smooth downward motion that then restarts at the same point as the previous tip.

9. Leave the hair slightly damp, so it will dry fairly quickly in about 5-10 minutes, as completely dry hair will cause split ends and your hair to frizz.

10. Use GHD Polishing Serum, but only on hair ends and mid length of the hair. However, serums should be avoided by people with thin hair, as this actually gives thin hair a greasy appearance.

Now all you've got to do girls is avoid all those horrible hair-wetting rain mornings! Sadly, we do not have any plans for a 'Top 10 Umbrella Buying Tips' article though.
