So thank you so much for bearing with us I want to start off by saying thank you so much to Matt for having me My name is Sarah Mack and ergo styling tools today on free salon education We are such a huge fan of free salon education everything that you do for industry So I want to start off by saying thank you so much It's an honor to be here and thank you for everyone tuning in or taking the time to watch this video We truly truly appreciate it We wouldn't be here without all of you the hairdressers this industry. It's amazing. So My name is Sarah Mack and just like most of you I am a hairstylist behind the chair I reside in Southern California and I have my own studio and then I'm also an artistic educator for ergo styling tools So today I want to share with you a little bit about our tools. I want to talk about power dry I want to talk about body positioning and how important that is to our industry and to you The stylist and the longevity in your career And I also want to show you one of our signature techniques, which is called set lock and lift So that is what we have in store for you. I Have been behind the chair for 15 years now. And so I noticed right around year five I actually had to I started to have a little problems with my wrist and my shoulder Just like many new stylists into the industry and back then we didn't have social media So I definitely didn't have as much education at the start of my career as many people have access to now So I think that's really awesome And so yeah I started to have a lot of problems and I actually met Robert Reed the founder of ergo styling tools and I Learned so much from him and just everything he stands for and why he created this line for hair stylist He truly truly cares about The industry you as a hairstylist so our line is created by hair stylist for hair stylist So that is the first thing I love about ergo styling tools. So let me jump right into our tools and what we What we're kind of like known for but also I'll share a little bit what we also have in our Whole regimen over here at ergo styling tools But if you have never seen an ergo styling tool, we this is our signature Round brush and so let me just talk a little bit why I love this round brush I've used many round brushes throughout my 15 years and I know Matt's a fan, too So we really appreciate that and yes the first thing The first thing and also I should mention if if there's any questions at any time I'm sure I didn't get here Matt's intro But if you have a question hit Q and then ask your question Matt will pop it up for me Also, too, if you think of the question later after the live You can come find us on ergo styling tools on Instagram and Ask us anything or email us or you can ask Matt, too I'm sure he doesn't want all of the questions to forward on to us But please come connect with us. We love to connect with hairdressers. So wanted to make that disclaimer Let me start off with our round brush and the first thing you see is that this is all black So honestly one of my favorite things. I am that hairstylist all black every day all day So I just love like the look right off the bat because it's really professional looking Then also one thing you might notice is that the length of this I don't know. I don't have another one to compare it to but the length of our brush is a Little bit longer than most round brushes on the market, especially our barrel and I'll talk about that when we get into set lock and lift why that is really nice feature to have on these round brushes. Okay, the next thing you are going to notice is that we do have a silicone handle and these really nice grip. So when in those first five years I did work with a different A couple different kinds of brushes and I think part of the problem. Why my wrist start to went like go. Oh, oh. I feel It's never good when you hear the oh Are you there. I am. I don't think you know this She's probably going to get caught guys real quick. She'll be back. This is how it goes. I'm not sure why. So let me go here before she Starts This is where we get to decide. This is the fun part about these lives guys and we'll just this will be our little secret as we as we go through this class today. She'll be back in Sarah. Let me know if you can hear me. But what we try to see is if she starts cursing before because she doesn't know she's on camera. We'll see She doesn't know she's there. I can still see her. You guys can't Are you there. Yes. I'm gonna hang up. No, she left. All right, she'll be back. So guys, here's the deal. We do this breakup. I'm going to figure this out by next week. I promise. This is going to be like the highlight of my weekend. It's trying to figure this out for you guys. But you know, we just do a little commercial breaks and then we bring Sarah right back in. So Sarah, here's the deal. I have a feeling this is going to happen multiple times and it's okay. Let's just We'll work through it. We're going to figure this out for next time for sure because I don't know why this happens. Yes. But keep going. Keep doing your thing. You're a pro. All right. All right. All right. Thanks. I took the opportunity during the commercial break just to grab all the brushes. For you guys so that next you can see that we have five. Let me get these in order. We have five different sizes of the rounds. So it starts with our smallest and it's called an ER 25 And it goes all the way up to our big daddy, which is also on back order. So you might have to wait till March for this one, but five different sizes. Then let me talk about The barrel. So this barrel is coated in ceramic, which is going to give you a nice even heat distribution across the barrel. The bristles are made of carbon and Turmaline and if you've never seen Turmaline black Okay, I'm still there. Okay, black Turmaline. This is black Turmaline. It's actually one of my favorite minerals. I use it in a lot of things, but this is a mineral and what it does is the way that bristles are made is it creates a Negative charge. Oh gosh, I'm probably going to mix this up now and our hair is positively charged. So it creates a charge one on the bristles. That are his opposite of our hair. So think of a magnet. So when the hair and the brush come together. It's opposite attract and what that's going to do is that's nicely going to shut down the cuticle for us, which we know when our cuticle is all the way closed. It gives us that nice shiny beautiful anti humidity like that beautiful, beautiful blowout. So the round is going to help you there. The other last thing I want to say about this round brush and this is one of my biggest things when I first came into the industry that I struggled with Is that when you're round brushing round brushing and when, oh gosh, it's just the worst thing when my client when I accidentally hurt my client. In any way, whether it's shampooing or when I was round brushing their hair and like I instantly get this sick feeling in my stomach. If they go, oh, or if it like anything like that. And so I can remember before or go using different round brushes where the hair would possibly get caught here right at this connection or in the end cap and it's just like the worst when you just like rip out like one or two of their little hairs. So I love this round brush because it has a seamless cap here. It's recessed into the barrel. So you're not going to get any snagged hairs here and then the barrel is also seamless here. So it's just really, really nice for that. Then really quickly, I want to go into our few our pals Matt. I watch your videos all the time. So I am personally a big flat wrapper as well. So I absolutely love these and then of course I have short hair. So This guy is my best friend. This is called our diamond head and I absolutely love this for my men's clients and for flat wrapping short hair gets really nice into the nape area into the fringe. And then we also have our classic polishing paddle. So a couple of things with the polishing paddle. I'm going to start off right off the bat. Just because it is 2021 and we're still in a pandemic. We all know behind the chair how important it is to disinfect our tools like More than ever, trust me, I travel around the world. I see the educators that aren't cleaning out their brushes. So You guys, we all know how important it is this year. And with this polishing paddle right here. It has two awesome features which are It's going to look like when you see this brush that a pin is missing, but that's actually a drain hole because that's another thing. Sometimes with paddle brushes, they don't have the drain holes. And then what happens when you go to disinfect this Or submerge it in your quads and then, you know, you can shake it around and you hear all that liquid in there. So it's awesome because there's a drain hole here and then there's actually I'm like a beauty blogger. There's a drain hole at the end there. And so after you quads it, you can, you know, lay it out to dry or lay it down this way and it should completely dry out the inside, which is super important. The next thing you will notice. And just like the round brushes. These pins are also infused with carbon and tourmaline. So you're going to still get that beautiful shine. Yep. And She's frozen, but she's not, but she is. All right, I'm gonna go to me while she figures it out. Talk to you guys for a sec. See what we got. What do we got in the chat here? Jocelyn, I see your question there. I'm actually just going to have Sarah call back. I see your question. So I will, I'll get that up to Sarah as soon as she's back on here. Where do we get the brushes? You can get them at Shop FSE, which is our online store, Shop Free Salon Education. Here she is. What's up? Okay, so what I've tried. How's the pig? I've tried disconnecting from the internet now. So maybe that will help in just going off service. So All right, let's see. Is the picture still okay? Yeah, yeah, it looks good. Awesome. Okay, so we did have one question, Sarah. So I do want it because I think what happened was when you got caught off last time, you were going into more of what how it helped your wrist. So yeah, yeah. So Jocelyn was asking about that. I think that's a good tip if you want to go into that. Yeah. So with the wrist, when I was using, you're right, when I used to use different handles that didn't necessarily have this kind of grip. I used to actually also use some And I'll probably be like, you know, half the viewers are going to be like, I love the wood handles. But for me personally, when it was a wood handle without the grip. I don't know. I just had a really hard time turning it in my hand. So I that's just one thing that I love about this grip. Sometimes you still have moisture in their hair and you have Wet hands or, you know, you can get a little water on the brush. And so I love the silicone grip one because the longevity of the handle. In my opinion, last a little bit longer. And for my wrist. It's just so much easier because when we're round brush blowdrying all the time. We have these little micro movements and I just felt with like a different handle. I had to work even harder at moving or rotating the brush when I needed to. And so those little micro movements over time, you know, they wear and tear down on your body, just like I do have a little bit of shoulder things because I was a softball pitcher like all the way. When I was growing up national champion when I was 10 but you know I got a little wear and tear on my shoulder from that like constant motion. So same thing when we're round brushing. And I love working behind the chair. So I want to be able to do it for a long time. So I just started to research and look for methods that would help me in every little single way possible. So I hope that answers your question. It was mostly about the grip. Yeah, I think that was good. Okay, awesome. Okay, so back to our paddles and I'll talk about the pins next. So another thing with our pins is that these are molded. It's a single mold. So with the pen itself. So you'll see that there's like the little just like most paddle brushes. We have the little tip. And sometimes with the way that these pins are molded the tips and the pins will be molded separately and then placed together. This is one single mold. So you're not going to get these little tips breaking off over time, which again gives you a longevity in the brush. And then also it's just really nice on the scalp. Standard. And then when the brushes turned this way, you're going to see that the pins are not lined up. There's a row and they're going to kind of zigzag. So when we are blow drying this way when we have our paddle horizontal Then we're going to be able to get more tension on the hair because the pins are misaligned. Now I love using this paddle for detangling as well. So when you turn the brush vertical so straight up and down, you're going to be able to see That see you can almost see perfectly down if I could get this lined up perfectly down and they're really nicely lined up. This is going to be perfect for detangling. So multi functional. I love to flat wrap with this on long hair to if I'm going to dry cut on straight hair. It just perfect setup for me. So if there's no questions on those. I'm going to move into let's talk about power dry next actually because you probably are ready to see me get into some hair. Let's move her up a little bit. Obviously to like body position. We're going to talk a little bit about body position and all that. One thing I struggle with also at the beginning of my career was one will because at the beginning to you're like trying to learn all of the things with all of your tools. So you don't really think about moving your client up and down right like taking time to move up and down, but it's so important to actually get Your client or your mannequin. If you're practicing in your downtime, no sitting at the back table. That's a big pet peeve of mine. When you're starting out is you should always be working on something always figure out or at least watching one of my videos over on free salon education. And so if you're working on your mannequin or your client. Get her in the right spot. That's where I go off on tangent. So Appreciate that. That's okay. This is my favorite because she doesn't Can't hear me, but I just love the Oh, no. Part really got to get this fixed. We did this with Ben Brown, too. So it's obviously just an issue with this. I don't know. But you guys are the best. Thank you for hanging in there. Sarah Mac. So wasn't the Wi-Fi. Okay, so we're gonna move in. I'm not sure where I cut out, but we're gonna talk about body positioning next and I went off on a tangent. So it was probably good that I got cut off. I tend to do that on all my little things that come to my brain, but next we're going to talk about body position and just how important it is to get you set up and I want to talk about Like just the way we hold our blow dryers. Now I'm probably going to get half the viewers mad at me again when they see me tell them, please do not hold your blow dryer this way. So if anyone does Like I said, to each their own. It's just not recommended for longevity in your career because what that's doing is it's putting all the weight at the back and it's putting again more pressure on your wrist and Those micro movements and you going back and forth and then to with that. Sometimes these blow dryers like the tip of your blow dryer gets up to 400 500 degrees. So it's just like more chances of you burning yourself. This is our TT twin turbo 2000 this blow dryer is in our portfolio portfolio and I really love this. I've used it. Honestly, my whole career. I Used to my first assisting job. I was really lucky because I found Ergo Like I was using Ergo tools pretty early on because the guy assisted for was using Ergo. So it's awesome. I've had this blow dryer almost my whole entire career and what I love about it is that it's a shorter barrel. So you can get, I don't know. It just makes it more ergonomic, honestly, because you don't have to get your arms so far away with a longer barrel. If that makes sense. So you can stay a little bit more here like in your powerhouse. And then, you know, the weight is nicely distributed across the barrel so that it's nice and ergonomic. I'm probably going to use that word a lot because Ergo Just goes with it. Okay, so I want to talk about power drying. Like I said, I'm a stylist behind the chair. I also do work on photo shoots. I mean, I've been on Big campaigns and stuff. So there are times when we blow dry from, you know, straight from the shampoo bowl to dry without a power dry. Totally, totally just need to know the situation. Also, I wouldn't recommend power drying, of course, on curly frizzier hair because when we try to power dry curly frizzy hair. That's just going to actually ruffle up that kind of cuticle even quicker and it's going to cause you to have to work harder on the back end. But if your clientele is like mine, which I again I travel all over. I see everybody's clientele. So most people have a fine to medium hair strand and then they have like a medium Actually like a thinner to medium density. It depends on, I mean, of course, there's a couple of exceptions, like, you know, in Miami, there's a lot of thick hair over in Miami and some areas. Texas, they have a lot of thick hair too, but it just depends, right. So a lot of my clients are they have a finer hair strand medium density. So I love to just like many hairstylists shortcut anything I can because at the end of the day to like not only is it about our body position or not body position, but like the longevity of our career. But I'm sorry, we are there to make money. So the more, especially with COVID and not being able to double book anymore. It's really you still want to give your client like an exceptional blowout and like an amazing service and leave every client leaving like Leaving your chair feeling special, but you also don't want to spend hours on end finishing their hair. So this is just one technique. Again, very situational. You have to know your client's hair. Where I utilize power drying to cut down on my overall service time, which allows me to get more clients into my chair, which allows me to make more money. So one thing you'll notice I am going to have to turn on the blow dryer. So that might be a little bit annoying. I won't talk during it and it will be Short burst, but I'm going to set this up for you. One thing we focus on at ergo when we are drying hair is that we start with like if you take a section of hair. And I'm just going to hold it up for you. This first inch is either you can call it section 123 ABC roots mid length ends. However, you want to phrase it and Alright, so Let's take this time. She's blowdrying. Let's take this time to talk about freeslawneducation.com app FSE now she'll be calling back FSE now you can download the app for free. We got tons of education on there. None of it cuts out like this. All right, Sarah's back. Alright, so I think I left off on you can phrase it roots mid length ends ABC. However, you want to go about it. So I like to say we Make sure the roots are dry first and then before you move on to the mid lengths, which is be and then ends are last. Now when I power dry. I honestly don't power dry the ends at all. And that's because ends are porous anyways. So they're going to dry out on their own and just being like blown around a little bit naturally they will dry out as quick as mid lengths. So I really when I'm power drying. I actually mostly focus on roots and I move the hair all around. You're going to see me move the hair all around in different directions. If I want to create a lot of volume. In this my final blowout, then I'm going to move the hair forward and really focus on these routes that way when I am working on my blowout and this comes back over. I've already created some lift in my power dry. Now if she wants something flat and sleek. You're going to put her on her part and start power drying her into position that way. Okay, another thing you're going to see me do. You're not going to see me blowing the hair all over again. I want to aid in closing the cuticle down instead of ruffling it up even more. So everything's to go quicker. Save time. So you're going to see me work around the head. One last thing you're going to see me do when I do this is Everything needs to stay when it comes to body positioning. I like to think of it like from collar bone. I think this is like, you know how there's like a strike zone for any of my sports fans. Of course, I grew up playing softball. So, you know, there's a strike zone. Right. So for me, it's like here is I want to keep working in my strike zone. Okay, this is going to be the best for my body, my elbows, my shoulders, my wrists. Another thing which you can't really see me do right now, but I tend to Put whatever leg is hold or whatever arm is holding my blow dryer. That leg tends to go a little bit forward. If anyone Yeah, I don't really actually know how I was going to phrase that, but you'll also see me switch hands. So when I want to power dry on this side, but I want the hair moving away, like, how am I going to turn, you know, like this looks, it's so funny. So another thing we really have to work on when you want to become a better styler and finisher is being ambidextrous, which means you can use both of your hands, either way. I do tend to hold it the blow dryer in my right hand the most, but you'll see me when I come to this left side switch hands and start to move this hair. I'm not going to do this for very long. So this is going to be a very quick version of my power dry, but I just want you to see the mechanics of it. So turn your volume down on three, two, one. Sound back up again very quick version, but it shouldn't take you too long. Don't be afraid to put use your hands like I love my tools, but I think sometimes it's hair stylist. We forget that these are like some of our most useful and Powerful tools. So in this power drive. Don't be afraid to put a lot of a little bit of tension into their hair. It's also great because this feels, I mean, think about it. If someone's like massaging your head or pulling on your hair, it like gets them to relax and hopefully Quiet down and stop talking. That way you don't have to pretend to talk over the blow dryer and shake your head. Uh huh. When you they tell you something you have no idea what they're saying. So it just gets them to relax. Again, it's adding to the client experience. I'm all about the experience. So yeah, I think that's about it with that. And then I would move into the midlights and ends. So moving on. Next thing that we're going to talk about is sectioning. So sectioning is also stylus preference. And I think it also depends on the density of hair. So density is the amount of strands that they have on their head. So obviously if that's Alrighty, so let me see here popping back up. I don't know why Skype's there doesn't need to be Here we go. The app somebody was asking it's FSE now FSE now right here and you can see Pop it on there. So if you go to the app store, you can download it. This class will also be remastered into a smaller version. So we'll cut out all of these little All of these little disconnections and we will put it into a smaller video. So Sarah, this will be salvaged and Yeah, everybody likes it. I got to be honest, people, you think it's annoying. It seems annoying, but people actually kind of enjoy it because it's Yeah, it's not too big of a break. It's nice on my end because I have a second to actually like wrap my brain around what I'm actually doing over here. Yeah, we started Go ahead. I don't know if you saw the Ben Brown class, but for some reason it was that was happening with him, which is why I got to figure this out. But he he was like, at least I get to drink, but he was like drinking a Pepsi every time he was Every time it was cut out. So here we go. All right. Yeah. Okay, so I was talking about density and sectioning. I actually took a poll recently on my Instagram. So if we're not connected on Instagram and you want to connect with me. I also love talking to people. It's Sarah Mac original over on Instagram. That's where you can find me most of the time, but I took a poll over there. The other day, asking if people Presection and clip away. It was about 50 50 again it's situational right so if they have a lot of density, which means they have a lot of strands on their head. Doesn't matter about the texture. Then a lot of times it's going to save you time if you just take the extra probably in real and realistically two minutes. I'm going to keep sectioning actually while I talk. To pre section this away. Again, it's just going to give you control and kind of give you a roadmap. So I'm sure Matt, you have a roadmap right when you are going to start a haircut. And it's the same way, whether it's color styling or haircutting, you're going to have a roadmap, you're not going to like Pull out of your house to go on vacation and have no, you know, end destination in mind, you're going to have, you know, a plan of attack. It's the same thing behind the chair. Again, whether you're cutting styling or finishing I think a lot of people just think sectioning is for haircutting, but and then there's some haircuts where you don't section at all. So same thing. So all I like to do this is after my power dry to so there's still and I should mention in my power dry. I aim to get the hair dry about 80% That way there's enough moisture left in the hair that when I unwrap these pre sections that I don't have too many kinks and or anything in the hair. And I'll adjust the camera in just a second when I actually start blow drying. So you'll see that I started with a horseshoe section. I will say this horseshoe section is a little bit more narrow than like if you were, it's more narrow than your parietal ridge. And the reason for that is because this is where we're going to talk about the length of the barrel. So you don't want the horseshoe set section, say that five times fast To be wider than your brush barrel. Again, same thing as cutting. I love how everything crosses over. You're not going to take a section in your hands and cut past your knuckle. So it's the same thing. It's all for control and to get a really nice and result. So again there and then straight from there. I like to just go straight down down the ear and then we're going to just divide this back section and you can use a comb here a clip. I tend to use clips. Everybody has an opinion on it. See, and I'll turn, I'll get this girl turn for us. And then this is going to be a section here. And I'm going to also move the camera and I'll tilt it a little bit down for us. So I'm going to put a clip there and then I'm not going to. Okay, so it depends on which blowout I'm doing. But if I'm starting from the bottom and working up, then I'm not going to clip this away. But if I'm starting from the top, which is what I do with set lock and lift I start from the top and I'll explain why. Then I do clip this away because I'm going to work, obviously, from the bottom down. Now just because I am going to work set lock and lift from the bottom down doesn't mean you have to. One thing that you'll learn With me is that I don't think there's an absolute to anything. So I just like to share with Silas what works for me. Sorry, closing that power button and then you're going to take some nuggets with you that you find applicable to how you style hair. And you're going to change some things to that's what it's all about. I I don't really think there's one way to do anything broth. I need a charge. Oh, thanks. You're right there because it's reconnecting right now. Yeah, just disconnected. I mean it works out because She's She's getting it fixed. Hey, thank you guys for staying with us. I understand that this is going through it. Here's the thing that I love about all these different tips before she gets back on here is the fact that Guys, there's so much to break down in blow drying before you actually blow dry all of us know how to take a section pull it up in the air. What you guys got to understand is all the little tiny details that Sarah is putting in there are really valuable. So just Grab those little things and add them to your bullet drive. All right, got you back. Yes. Thank you. Yes. Thank you for that. Yeah, they're just yeah my little tips and tricks and I learned that like I've had so many mentors throughout the years and it's so funny because I'm like a hybrid of my mentors right or things that I learn online. You take some things with you. And my thing is if I can just share one thing that you could take home. That's a win for me and hopefully you win for you. Yeah, I Sarah, so I just want to kind of I like to see like what the audience is doing kind of address because People I feel like people get like impatient in a way and and I try to like preach to be a little more patient because The the amount of little things that we've gone over like that's what really separates like what I think separates a good hairdresser and a great one are those tiny little details and so Everybody I was saying like everybody knows how to to grab a section and pull it up and blow a dry like that to me is like okay cool basics we got it. But like the tiny like body position and sectioning and you know going through all of that and what you're about to share now. You got to know all those little things before you can pick hair up whether you're cutting it or coloring it whatever it is you got to understand those little details. So people to get impatient like well what are you trying to learn you just want to know how to pick it up because that's not understanding the why behind everything that we do so I think it's super cool and I know you're about to throw in a tip here so But I want people to understand that are in the chat that you got to have those little details then you build on that and now we're going to go into blow dry. Yes, and I know that everyone wants to see hair done I trust me I've been doing this a long time it's best to get right into here I totally understand. But like Matt saying it is really important and those are actually the things that I wish someone would have shared with me and then instead of me having to take 15 years to learn every single little detail along the way. So yes, thank you and thank you all for being patient and playing along now let me show you set lock and lift, this is one of our signatures and let's see i'm going to turn it this way, so my arms aren't in the way. And you're not going to see the rest of her head just because it's not that important anyways you're going to see the important part and you might not see the top of my head, but also not. A problem, so first thing was set lock and lift that we like to do is I start in this you shape section or horseshoe set shape section. And I start from the back of it and that's because I want to create this look is like that you know that Victoria secret runway look when it's all done and I have a mannequin back there so don't worry you don't have to watch me blow dry this whole mannequin. Back there with the finish set and we're going to take her down together and you'll see the end result but it's that going to give you that nice volume in the crown that beautiful bouncy curl. This is the technique we use for that so i'm going to use because she has actually i'm going to brush i'm going to go down one brush on this mannequin who has longer hair I use our ER 43. Because I do want a lot of revolutions for her she's a little bit shorter it's an Erica so i'm going to go with our ER 35. And first thing we do is we pre groom the hair again just a fancy word for we come out the knots so. i'm just pre grooming the hair again you're going to see my blow dryers in my right hand, so I have my right foot a little bit forward. Everything why I start back here is because i'm going to over direct this so i'm going to move up to this section and this one than this one, if I started here now i'm over directing this back section into my already set. curl so I started this back one I pre groom and then i'm going to over direct board wrap the hair around like that and then you're going to see me twist down. Now that's the lock the set in the lock, so let me do that one more time and i'm going to turn her towards you a little bit. So you can really see it from this angle pre groom pre groom. And then i'm using my pinky here and then wrap wrap wrap wrap wrap it's locked and now i'm going to lock it down so you'll see me. rotate down i'm going to keep my wrist nice and straight there i'm going to keep my wrist nice and straight as possible over here and i'm going to start to blow dry these routes, so here we go blow dryer on volume down. Never good when she says oh my god popping in. she's going to go away. All right, this commercial break is brought to you by. Daily harvest. get your greens while you wait for somebody to come back on here we go. Hello. Okay, welcome back back okay so when I feel that it's getting dry I can do a quick temperature check with. My pinky and my ring finger on my off hand my blow dryer hand and like I said, this is why on this one I especially power dry. Because we all know, like sometimes if we have the brush all the way down here and other section it's really hard to. Get the blow dryer into that root area and that's going to be your number one cause of not keeping the volume in the hair is if you only get the root area route is where you get all your control on volume. So if you don't pre dry and then you only blow dry the root because you're in a rush or their scalp is getting too hot. And you only get it 90% dry, especially if you were in Florida and you go out into that humidity now that's just going to be wet again. In any kind of humidity and it's going to frizz back out and it's going to fall flat. So when we don't get it dry enough, that is why hair it still has moisture in the hair, you may not feel it really, but you really want to make sure it's nice and dry. So when I feel like that is nice and dry if it's coming loose, I can rewrap i'm going to slightly roll out now and start to work on my mid length. You're going to see that I never touch the tip of the blow dryer and especially near the root area I keep my blow dryer kind of moving and i'm not flicking my wrist again micro movements in the wrist i'm moving my whole arm. Okay, so that my wrist is staying as straight as possible and preserving my carpal tunnel, which I don't have anymore, I should have said that before. So after I really learned about body positioning everything my wrist is totally fine now I work 12 hours a day three days a week two to three days a week, so. And I can make it and I don't have an assistant anymore, so I am on my own. Okay roots are dry now i'm going to roll out and start to blow dry those mid lengths, I am moving with the cuticle when I am drying and moving this blow dryer again we're trying to close down that cuticle create shine. Not sure where the sound went there. Oh, she doesn't know so I got to hang up on her I should just talk and just let her just say exactly what she's doing. I do love this technique i'm just going to hang up so then she calls back and then that way we don't have any problems but. I do love this technique I love the idea of wrapping it around and then adding the heat and what do you guys think let me know in the chat. let's see. Her hair color is awesome cool cool tone ha ha get it um all right here she is. Hi all right okay um so I just it was perfect timing because I rolled my blow dry all the way in and I rolled it down and I let it set and cool down just a little bit and then i'm going to. To set this now i'm going to roll out and instead of flicking the brush out and just letting the ends go wherever this is going to be very controlled i'm using. In between my index and my middle finger i'm going to start to reinforce closing the cuticle with my hands and roll this at the same time roll my brush under okay. Then, if you have a tray or anything minds on the opposite side i'm going to just roll this in my hands I don't have any product on my hands, let me turn this actually so you guys can really get a good view. So we're rolling this I have it over directed slightly going taking it back to the basics beauty school you decide if you want to set it on base off base. If you want more volume just set it off base forward or back okay so i'm going to create a role just like that now for these top sections, I recommend using setting clips like this one i'm going to let this down. or not this one oh my gosh sorry for this top section I actually recommend going with a longer duck bill just because these are going to be your widest sections. And it's going to give you the most control there now I want to show you i'm going to clip this with another one like that. I want to show you the difference, if you are using along duck bill, I want you to see the difference in this one first. Try not to set it with something like these are my favorite for sectioning my haircuts because these put more tension on it, but when you are setting the blow dry try to go with the duck bill. It may seem standard, but like again I see it out there you guys so just a little tip this will not create a crease in your set and i'm going to pull this up for you, so you can see this finished. And we are so there you go and you're going to you can even use velcro rollers if you want i've seen that as well, and sometimes that's easier, especially for these crown sections. The way you divide each section is going to again depend on density their hair thickness if they have. Not a lot of density you're probably going to be able to take bigger sections okay so a couple variables brush size density. And you're going to just keep taking horizontal partings and work up i'm going to actually switch the other mannequin for you. So you can kind of see how I have this set, let me know if you want to see me actually do the motion of set lock and lift one more time, or if we're good to move on. i'll just show you this this set, so you can see, I have for here in the top section so 1234 and you can kind of see through them this girl has a lot of hair. Then I went to my side sections next here's the only place where I don't roll under and let's see here, so these ones are actually I turn my brush vertical. And I set them vertically and that's because just like a curling iron set is really going to like kind of open up their cheekbones most people want their hair to curl away from their face, so that is on the sides, I have them set vertical. On both sides, you can really see that and I just set those with the littler double prong clips there. And then in the back these subdivisions again are just debate based on control so whatever amount of hair, you can control and you'll find with the ergo brushes because we have a longer barrel, you can actually take less sections which saves time. get you in more clients and again this blowout should last them three days, I mean it's the best when a client says to you after I wish I could blow dry my hair, the way you do that's called retention. For anyone new and retention is amazing and that's what you want behind the chair, you want those clients coming back, you want them talking about your blowout it's. it's just awesome okay so let's take these out really quick I know we are so short on time. Is that all right i'm actually going to you're good i'm going to let the people watching now so I. Unlike any other hair media company you'll ever probably find in the current happening right now I have a client so. So I literally cannot keep this live going you know she's going to finish and show you guys right now, but I can't keep this live going because I literally have a client waiting for me so. So it's a good thing because we're real hairdressers here doing real things. But I'd love for her to show it to you again and if I could just leave it going and she wouldn't it wouldn't stop on us, then I would do that, but I can't so. So Sarah is going to show you the end we're going to have Sarah back and and we're going to fix these tech issues so that she can easily do a class but ergo. is going to be part of the you know coming on this channel doing some lives and I promise it will be easier next time Sarah you're a pro. This isn't was not the easiest situation and I appreciate that. I don't think she can hear me say this right now nope. So i'm going to let her come back she's going to brush that out, but thank you guys so much for tuning in and for real my client is is waiting he's been here for five minutes now. So yes, go to work thanks but i'm going to let Sarah come back and close this out show you guys the end result and like I said I promise we'll do more blow dry classes and all of that.
