If you EVER pick up a blow dryer in the salon then you do NOT want to miss this episode, filmed entirely onsite at the ISSE Show in Long Beach.

The episode reveals the BEST way to blow dry hair with a round brush for your clients...
(hint: most people are getting it totally wrong and potentially causing themselves wrist, back, and shoulder pain, as well as damaging their clients hair at the same time)

This week we have prepared for you a very special blow drying hair tutorial. There are correct ways and incorrect ways how to blow dry hair. This tutorial shows you what to avoid. and how to use a round brush to do it correctly!

Don't used a brush on your hair until it is at least half way dry. Using a brush when your hair is wet causes stretching and breakage.

For volume, use a little mousse at the roots, not too much, and then tip your head down so your hair is hanging and dry your hair til it's almost dry but still stylable with a brush.
Then you can round brush without causing too much damage. Put the brush at the root of your hair leaning the hair the opposite of the way you want it to fall. dry at the root first.

Always use the highest quality brush possible.

Since hair is most fragile when wet, extra care should be taken when styling wet or damp strands. When possible, use a natural boar's bristle brush or similar.

Remember that a paddle brush is for blow drying straight styles while a round brush is for encouraging bend, volume and texture. Vary the size of the brush "head" according to how much hair you are working with and how loose or tight you want the look or texture.

When the goal is to blow dry straight, Robert Hallowell recommends using "a good quality boar's bristle paddle style brush because it covers the most hair territory at one time and cuts down in drying time". When using a paddle brush, Robert finds that he can work with "bigger individual sections" which helps him finish quickly.

Utilize an air concentrator when going for a stick straight effect or a long finger diffuser to enhance waves or loosen curls.

A hot sock attachment will also work wonders on curls.

Heat from the blow dryer "opens the cuticle and allows a style to be formed". Finishing a section with a blast of cool/cold air from the blow dryer will help to close the newly created texture or lock in the straightness of the section.

Start with hot and finish with cold on every section to first build in the desired style and then lock in the set.

The key to a great blow out is making sure hair is 100% dry, although of course you should not blow dry past that point. How to tell if warm hair, from the blow dryer is actually 100% dry? Barbara suggested doing what she does. She finishes a section of hair with the cool shot or cold air setting. Then she tests with her fingers.

If you don't have have a hair dryer with a cool/cold shot, consider investing in one.

As a hairstylist the only problem I have with this video is a really good haircut should not need a really good blowout (depending on texture at times).
