Blow Drying Your Hair With A Round Brush

Loosen the clips one section at the time, starting at the bottom and working upwards.

• Section your hair by sliding the fingers of your opposite hand horizontal along the roots.

• Use your little finger to mark a line you want to section off and lift the hair.

• Begin drying by aiming hot air at the roots. Dry bottom layers first, directing the hair up (to speed drying and increase volume).

• Move to the sides, aiming hot air towards hair growth (at the roots).

• For top layer of hair, hold individual sections straight up to dry (to increase volume).

• When hair is almost dry, finger-comb through hair, gently pulling top front section up.

• Twist front of hair forward into small sections and apply low heat while twisted.

• Let each section fall to untwist naturally.

• Curl top front layer of hair around the face and clip to hold in place.

• Attach a nozzle to a hairdryer, holding it in one hand with a round brush in the other.

• Curl the ends under and dry small sections of hair at a time letting the nozzle follow the brush, holding the hair taunt.

• Remove the front clip, brush this section of hair back and up and apply low heat to smoothen hair.

• Apply styling gel lightly to hair ends and use hands to shape, separating and lifting strands to create volume.

• Add styling gel or wax to the ends and shape with hands, separating strands for volume and hold.

• Hold head slightly downwards and shake head forward gently.

• Cover hair with a light coating of hairspray.
