Tired of blow-dries that stress your strands and make you want to pull your hair out? Here are some do-it-right tips:

• Prep your tresses: Drying sopping-wet hair can cause breakage. Instead, first pat gently with a towel until dump, not dripping. Next, shield hair and lock in luster with a product containing strand strengtheners, such as vitamin B (aka panthenol) or soy protein.
• Protect your ‘do from damage: Skip superhigh heat; only go as hot as you can take on the back of your hand for five seconds. For va-va-voom volume, hold hair at the angle in which it grows: top sections up, side sections out, etc. Move downward from roots to steal in shine and calm flyaways.
• Make your style stick: When strands feel almost dry, start styling. Wrap hair around your tress tool and hit with high heat for 30 seconds, then blast with cold air to lock shape in place.
