The technique of drying and/or designing hair by using a hand-held dryer while simultaneously using your fingers and a variety of tools is known as:

• A. Thermal designing
• B. Air styling
• C. Wet set
• D. Heat-processing

Answer: (A)

Shaping hair with heat while you dry it is thermal designing. The heat from the handheld dryer makes the hair pliable as you guide it with your fingers and tools, giving you control over direction, volume, and texture in the moment. This differs from air styling, which uses airflow with little or no heat; a wet set involves shaping hair with rollers or pins while it dries; and heat-processing refers to using heat for chemical or structural changes rather than the styling effort you’re doing during blow-drying.
