What should you avoid when blow drying a client's hair?

Applying too much hair product
Blow drying from the ends
Keeping the dryer too close to the scalp
Using a diffuser attachment

The correct answer is: Keeping the dryer too close to the scalp

When blow drying a client's hair, it is important to avoid keeping the dryer too close to the scalp (option C). Keeping the dryer too close to the scalp can cause discomfort for the client due to heat exposure and can also lead to scalp burns or damage. It is recommended to maintain a safe distance between the dryer and the scalp to prevent any potential harm. Options A, B, and D are not the best choices for what to avoid when blow drying a client's hair. Applying too much hair product (option A) can be damaging to the hair if it contains harsh chemicals or if the product is not suitable for the client's hair type. Blow drying from the ends (option B) is a common technique to prevent tangling and achieve a smoother finish. Using a diffuser attachment (option D) can be beneficial for clients with curly or wavy hair as it helps to distribute the airflow evenly without disturbing the natural curl pattern.
