You will need:
1. Blow dryer (with the directional nozzle attached, if you have one)
2. Round brush
3. Hair clips (to keep hair separated while you're working on sections)
First, towel dry your hair and comb out all the tangles. This is also the part where I like to put the smoothing serum (Matrix Biolage makes a great one, although a little pricey at $28)on my hair, starting at the ends and working my way up to the scalp.
After your product is applied, take the blow dryer and start finger combing your hair while you're blow drying it. At this stage just run your fingers through your hair and try to get your hair about 75-80% dry.
Once your hair is almost (but not quite!) dry, that's when you section it off. I always do a big section at the top, one in the middle, and leave the bottom out.
Take your round brush and take small sections of hair at a time. Point the nozzle of the blowdryer down so it's moving in the same direction as your hair around the brush. This prevents frizz and helps keep the hair smooth.
Do small sections like this, working the entire way up your head, until you are finished. You should have a smooth finished look that is bouncy and full of body!
Extra tips
1. For added volume, pull the brush UP, not down or out, to give hair that extra oomph
2. Keep the dryer about 2 inches from your scalp so you don't burn yourself
3. Section should be no larger than fit around the brush, I usually prefer about 1 inch partings
4. Keep the brush continually moving in a circular motion to make it as smooth as possible
