What is the first step in a blow-drying procedure after washing the hair?

Apply conditioner
Blot with a towel
Insert the brush into a section
Spray with heat protectant

The correct answer is: Insert the brush into a section

The first step in a blow-drying procedure after washing the hair is to blot with a towel. This step is crucial because it helps to remove excess water from the hair, making the blow-drying process more efficient and effective. When the hair is too wet, it takes significantly longer to dry, which can lead to heat damage from the blow dryer. After blotting the hair, you can then proceed to apply any products like conditioner or heat protectant, followed by sectioning the hair and inserting the brush. This sequence helps to prepare the hair for optimal styling while protecting it from potential damage due to heat. Ensuring the hair is appropriately prepped after washing sets a strong foundation for a successful blow-drying outcome.
