The Look these days is big and bouncy. But how does one accomplish this look? This is the look movie stars use these days for their polished appearance. The finishing touches of this look can make you look like a million dollars. “You can get so many different looks like soft curls, tight curls, or straight hair just by knowing what brush to use with your blow dryer”.
The first thing to do when starting the pampering is with your damp tresses. “But before you try to dry your hair with blow drying, first use a towel. This will redeem your time and keep you from causing stress on your hands from needless blow drying soaked hair,” Leah shares.
Next, start applying product–usually a volumizing mousse and a straightening product are top selections!–apply them throughout to prevent heat damage. “Whenever products are involved make sure they are evenly distributed,” Julie warns. “You can always add a little bit more, but you can never take it away if you use to much.”
After tresses are set apart into sections, select a brush, but select it based on the desired result of your blow-out. “If your desire is a smooth style, a Denman brush is really perfect.” Kim continues, “If you use a round brush you will get more fullness and curl. While a vent brush will give an effect of smooth where the hair ends don’t tuck under.
Beginning at the roots and moving outward with the brush, hair should be dried moving the same way as the cuticle. “Basically air should be moving down toward the ground so sealing happens at the cutilces,” Kim says. “We don’t want to destroy the cuticle.” A directional nozzle attachment can convert your blow-drying into a curling super-star. Another little tip can be to put your hair in Velcro rollers to get that curly look which will hold.
The experts recommend curly hair wearers use a diffuser attachment on their blow-dryer. “Turn your head upside down, lay the ends of your hair in the cup of the diffuser and push it up so it touches your head. The curls will wrap around the little fingers of the diffuser and form beautiful, blown-out curls.”
Continue to use the dryer until all the locks of hair are completely dry. “However, if you are using a diffuser, you can leave some moisture in, about 20%,” Kim chimes in. To combat the effects of using heat in your styling, make sure you have a conditioning treatment at least once per week for your hair maintenance.
