blow-dried

Salon-finished with heat

Blow-dried describes hair that has been dried and styled using a handheld dryer that blows warm air.

The term often implies a polished, salon-quality look: Her blow-dried hair looked perfect.

Figuratively, blow-dried can suggest something overly slick or artificial: a blow-dried anchorman with perfect teeth.
