Hi, i often put gel in my hair and spike it which is fine when i have plenty of time to wait for it to dry and set before i am going sometwhere but sometimes i dont have that time and it enhdfs up a little flattish because i had to rush, i have been told that a hair dryer will help set it fast which i have bought.

What iw ant to know is, am i best leaving it on the cold setting or starting on the hot air then going to cold, i tried this mornin just on cool and it stayed wet for a while then i tried setting to hot then to dry and it seem to set much faster, i just want to make sure i am doing it right?

thanks

You should dry your hair on warm/hot setting, and than after it's dry, set the style using the cool shot button. The cold setting helps close the cuticle while setting the style that you want and it also adds shine to hair.
