About blow dry & styling services
The result depends on the cut underneath as much as the technique. Heat protection matters, and so does the dryer's temperature — high heat on fine hair repeatedly is what causes breakage. For an event, booking a trial is worth the cost, especially if the style needs to hold through a long day.
