After countless hours of practicing, I feel pretty confident in my ability to wield a blow dryer. I know I've nothing on the pros, but still, I can blow dry some hair.
That said, there seems to be some confusion among my classmates on the art of using a roundbrush, and if THEY are confused, I'm sure there are tons of other women out there who are also confused. So, here are my tips...
1. Don't even take the brush to your head until your hair is at least 75% dry! Use your fingers to comb through your hair until you get it to that dry point, then take out the brush.
2. Section off your hair, starting at the bottom, and work your way up section by section.
3. The best way I find to keep my hair smooth (I roundbrush my own hair every day!) is to keep the brush in constant motion, rolling it in a continuous circle. Hold the section straight up when you dry it to achieve more body.
4. To prevent frizz, ALWAYS point your nozzle DOWN the hair shaft. I see so many girls at school blowing straight up towards the head, and then don't understand why the client's hair isn't smooth. DOWN DOWN DOWN!
I'm also learning nifty tricks at my internship, such a making corkscrew curls using nothing but a blowdryer, and I'm practicing that like crazy, but I still mostly suck at it.
Practice makes perfect!
