What is the purpose of blow drying?

• A. To color hair
• B. To remove moisture and shape the style using heat and air flow
• C. To remove lice
• D. To scalp treatment

Answer: (B)

Blow drying is about removing moisture from the hair while shaping the hairstyle with heat and controlled airflow. By directing warm or cool air and using a brush or comb, you can smooth the cuticle, add volume, and help the style set and stay in place. This step usually involves a heat protectant and deliberate technique—keep the dryer moving, hold it at the right distance, and finish with a cool shot to lock the shape.

Coloring hair, removing lice, and scalp treatments are separate processes. Coloring uses chemical dyes, lice removal relies on special combing or treatments, and scalp treatments involve applying products to the scalp—not drying the hair with heat.
