I have crazy hair. It is more like fur on my head than like hair. It is thick, wavy, fuzzy on top and pretty hard to tame. But if we don’t hang out on the beach or poolside, you would never know. And this is why I know where to get the best blowdries in London (and in other major cities worldwide too!). I have also became somewhat of a hair taming expert at home so if you are on a budget and want to do it yourself, have a look at the tutorials I posted on here (surf waves, curls in under 5mn).
Whenever I go to get a blowdry, I always ask for the same thing: messy, undone beach waves with a lot of texture. This is the look I based my grades on. Whether you are after a similar look or something sleeker, these places are all top of the pops!
I used three criteria to judge the blowdries: longevity (how long it lasts after leaving the salon), speed (how long you stay in the salon for) and understanding (whether the stylist really gets what you want). 1♥ is the lowest and 5♥ the highest.
