how to blow-dry your hair with SKILL! (Courtesy of Bumble & Bumble)

Personally blow-dryers scare me. I always picture me using one, thinking everything is fine - FRIZZ CENTRAL! I don't even own one right now I'm that terrified. I let my hair air dry and am waiting to buy a good blowdryer. I know most of you struggle with time and need blowdryer tips (Lord knows I do!) so here are some fantastic ones that are based on the shape of your brush (how smart!) Thanks Bumble & Bumble!


Flat Brush 

Shampoo, and then comb conditioner through hair. Rinse. Gently press out water with a towel, but don't scrub, roughen, or tangle. Comb a foundation product through (Prep or Tonic Lotion) to protect and detangle. Use a structure product like Styling Lotion to start building the style. Blow-dry at medium heat using fingers until most wetness is gone, establishing direction and lifting at the roots for body. Add more structure product for extra support if necessary. Work from front to back (or back to front) and roots to ends. Glide brush down ribbons of hair, pointing blow dryer in the same direction with steady strokes. Lay ends down carefully as you'd like them to fall. 


Round Brush 

Shampoo, and then comb conditioner through hair. Rinse. Gently press out water with a towel, but don't scrub, roughen, or tangle. Comb a foundation product through (Prep or Tonic Lotion) to protect and detangle. Use a structure product like Thickening Hairspray to start building the style. Blow-dry at medium heat using fingers until most wetness is gone, establishing direction and lifting at the roots for body. Add more structure product for extra support if necessary. Work from front to back (or back to front) and roots to ends. Scoop hair from underneath and roll brush down ribbons of hair, pointing blow dryer in the same direction with steady strokes. For extra volume around crown, pin ribbons of hair in a barrel-shape curl and let cool. Lay ends down carefully as you'd like them to fall.

Good Luck dolls! Let me know if this helped you!
