How to BLOW-DRY HAIR

Once you have washed your model’s hair, bring them back to the station and comb through their hair using a wide tooth comb

Give the hair a quick blast dry before you proceed to blow dry the hair, applying any necessary products before you begin

Put the parting line in whilst the hair is still damp, either where it naturally falls or where your model likes to place it.  Consult with your model

Section the hair into three; two at the sides and one at the back of the head

Take your first section, starting at the base of the neck

NOTE: make sure the sections aren’t too large, as this will make it harder to control the hair

Hold the section of hair that you want to blow dry at the root with the round bristle brush and begin by blow drying the underneath of the root

REMEMBER: adjust the heat settings according to the hair type, but always have the hairdryer on full power

Once the root is dry begin to blow dry the hair from above, turning the brush under slightly and moving the hair dryer along the mid-length and  ends of the hair in the direction that you want it to sit

When taking the next section, do not brush down onto the just blow-dried section of hair – take it as a new piece and repeat what you did for the previous section

Repeat the above technique for the rest of the hair sections until the whole head is fully blow dried

NOTE: if your model has long hair, use the round bristle brush for the roots and then the paddle brush for the mid-length and ends, as this has a wide base and gives a nice straight finish
