blow dry

Salon finishing touch

To blow dry is to dry hair using a handheld electric dryer that blows warm air.

The term works as both verb and noun: She blow dried her hair before leaving, I need a quick blow dry.

A blow dryer is the device itself.

The styling method typically involves brushing while drying to achieve volume or smoothness.
