Hair by Benita Blocker. To achieve this sleek look, I blow dried the hair with a round brush. NO FLAT IRON. NO CURLING IRON. Round Brush only. Then sprayed some Aquage's Beyond Shine spray on it to tame some minor flyaways.
It is important to know that you need a hair dryer/ blow dryer with some serious wind velocity as well as some heat. The FHI Heat Nano Salon Pro 2000 was used to complete this job. This particular hair dryer features Low EMF. Please see my separate article on the topic of EMF.
I have featured other blow dryers on this blog. (Turbo Power, SuperSolano,and more) Please check out other blow dryer tool reviews on this blog. $150 for a good blow dryer is reasonable. You should get years of usage from it. However, if you spend only $40 on a hair dryer, you may get a year of usage out of it. If you spend at least $80 or more on a blowdryer, then more than likely it may have enough power to complete a round brush styling and get you past a year.
Your round brush styling does require skill in picking out the correct round brush for the job. Pictured is a Marilyn round brush with nylon bristles mixed with boar bristles. The nylon bristles hold heat and are designed for coarser; yet non-porous hair. I picked this round brush to complete this styling because the mannequin has coarse hair with tightly closed cuticles. For finer hair or porous hair, you may use an all boar bristle brush or a paddle brush.
Remember to rough dry each section to get excess water out of the hair before you start applying a lot of tension. Also, to determine if it is the right brush to use, please see how smoothly the brush slides through the hair without a blow dryer first. If it is snagging the hair, then it is the wrong brush. Also, the shorter the bristles are on a brush, then the less likely to get the brush tangled in the hair.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIn a couple of months I will be going on vacation. At that time I will have a sew in with only my perimeter out. Can you recommend a good heat protection product, blow dryer and brush to get my edges straight. I need something that won't break the bank but is good. I also know that my hair will probably get wait due to the ocean, pool, etc. What would be good products for me to bring! Thanks!
My hair is also very soft, fine, natural, and super curly.
ReplyDeleteHi Destini: If you are super coily, then the Denmam brush is needed. If you are super curly, then the comb attachment might work better for you. As far as heat protection, I would add the Joico Smooth conditioner to your conditioning step. I would be out of order to customize your hair regimen without knowing your hair. I hope this helps. Thank you for visiting my blog!
