Hi,
My hair is fairly straight apart from the very ends which unfortunately flip outward - very annoying it is.
Anyway, I recently had a maintenance cut. When completed the stylist dried my hair using a ‘roller brush’ (I think that is what it is called – round with soft bristles) pulling the hair through the brush effectively turning these ‘flip outs’ inward. Not only did it leave my hair completely straight but it left it with a certain ‘bouncy’ feel.
Anyway, in effort to reproduce these wonderful results I bought myself a roller brush and attempted to dry my hair in this way. My attempt was poor – was very awkward holding the brush, dryer and section of hair all at the same time. The thing is I guess my hair isn’t really long enough (currently about 9 inches all over) to achieve this by myself.
Is there any other way (other than getting someone to do it for me, or growing an extra arm...he!) to achieve this? A certain technique maybe?
A long shot but I just though I’d ask. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
As with all things, it will be awkward. After working at it for a length of time you'll get better at it. Before long, it will be as easy as brushing your teeth.
My hair does the same thing, I'm not BRGallagher but I can empathise... and I think I have a solution.
The trick is to get a hair dryer with a roller brush attachment, this free's up a hand cos the brush is attached to the dryer...
I use a large curling iron on my ends. After the hair is dry, use the iron on the ends (watch the heat and don't leave on too long....a few seconds will make a big difference).
I'm sorry but I am going to have to pass on this one...there is a specific technique involved in both the method of maintenance cutting and the use of a blowdryer/round brush combination--very easy to explain and demonstrate (hands-on with visual aids) to a longhaired guy sitting here in our grooming center. BUT, to convert that explanation to text easily understood by the average guy...that's a whole different concept. Wish you were close enough to schedule an appointment...
Well, thanks again for taking the time to read. I think i'm gonna take Sheri's advice and keep up the practice.
