Steps
Start with clean, damp hair. Towel dry gently, comb out any knots, then mist heat protectant through the mid lengths and ends.
Rough dry with your fingers until the hair is about 80 percent dry. Keep the dryer moving so you do not overheat one spot.
Clip the hair into three sections: bottom, middle and top. Work on the bottom layer first and keep the rest pinned up.
Fit the concentrator nozzle and point it down the hair shaft as you follow the brush. This smooths the cuticle and cuts frizz.
Place the round brush under a small section close to the roots. Pull it taut and slowly run the dryer down behind the brush.
When you reach the ends, roll the brush inward for a soft bend. Hold for a few seconds, then press the cool shot button.
Repeat section by section, keeping even tension on the brush. Do not load the brush with too much hair at once.
Finish with cool air all over to set the shape. Add a small amount of light serum to the ends if the hair looks static.
Tips and common mistakes
Hold the dryer with a relaxed wrist and keep your arm close to your body to reduce strain.
Keep the nozzle a few inches from the scalp and keep it moving so you do not burn the skin.
Let each section cool on the brush for a moment before unwinding so the shape holds longer.
Use medium heat rather than the highest setting, especially on fine or colour treated hair.
Questions
How wet should my hair be before I start?
Rough dry it to about 80 percent first. Hair that is too wet takes far longer and can frizz before it smooths.
Can I use this method on curly or coily hair?
Yes, but use smaller sections and lower heat. A boar bristle brush and a steady downward tension give the smoothest result.
Why does my blowout turn frizzy?
Usually it is too much heat, no heat protectant, or pointing the nozzle upward. Always aim the air down the hair shaft.
