Knowing how to blow dry hair is to women what knowing how to change a tire is to men: absolutely essential. You have probably been doing it since you became the tiniest bit aware of your appearance—ages then if, like us, you were a self-conscious teenager.

Of course, perfecting the art of blow drying hair takes time and practice. To help you hone the craft, we asked Kraig Delos Santos, Wavy Haired Bombshell (that is, manager) of Blo Blow Dry Bar, for a few expert tips. In between appointments at any of Blo's three locations (Serendra, Power Plant Mall, and SM Megamall), achieve lustrous, manageable hair at home with her pointers.
