4. Bevel the Hair

1. Change your body position so that the panel of hair you

are drying is directly in front of you.

2. Starting in the middle panel again, bring the brush under the hair with the pins facing up and the hair lying on the pad of the brush.

3. Using the brush, elevate the hair to approximately 45°,

and then draw the brush down the hair shaft, bringing

the elevation down to 0° as you approach the ends.

4. As you work the ends, use your wrist to rotate the brush

several times, all the time directing the air of the blow

dryer down from above.

5. Continue with the Rest of the Hair

Repeat the procedure for each subsection, following the

sectioning of the haircut. You can take more subsections

than you did for the haircut, but not fewer. Remember to

lock in the upper shaft first, and then bevel the rest.

When you’re done, comb or brush the hair into place. It willlook polished and shiny.

Variation: Using a Paddle Brush

👀🎬📺See DVD: Scene 4.2, Paddle Brush

The paddle brush can be used to smooth and straighten

hair. You can also use it to slightly bevel hair by rotating thebrush under. If you do not want to create a bevel, draw the brush straight through the ends without rotating it.

A paddle brush can be more appropriate than a half-round brush if the client has long hair. The technique for using a paddle brush is the same as a half-round brush.
