07. Round Brush styling

Choose a brush

The correct brush should have hair wrap at least 1 to 2 times around its diameter.

Pre-Dry and Section the Hair

1. Apply styling aid and dry the hair to 80–90% dry by

blowing it from side to side. If the hair isn’t sufficientlydry, brushes will tangle more easily.

2. Section the hair either in a center part or a side part to the crown and then continue down the center to the

nape.

Dry the base

1. Stand directly in front of the section you are styling and

rotate the brush towards you.

2. Pick up a panel of hair that is no wider and no longer

than the length and diameter of the bristles of the brush.

3. Lift the hair to the desired elevation, and place the brush

at the scalp. The higher the elevation, the stronger the

base of the curl, and the less mobility. Avoid directing

heat at the scalp. Direct the air into the brush.

Note: A standard elevation is 90º for more volume, and

45º for less volume.

4. Keeping the hair at the correct elevation, dry the hair.

Concentrate the heat at the base of the hair and avoid

too much heat at the scalp. The nozzle can be added to

the blow dryer for control.

Form the curl

1. After the base is dried, slide the brush with some

curvature toward the mid-shaft and dry the mid-shaft.

2. Slide the brush through the hair ends and dry the ends.

3. Curl the hair around the brush all the way from the ends

to the scalp, while continuously drying and rotating the

brush. Check to make sure that all the ends are curled

smoothly into the brush, taking care to avoid fish-hookedends. Unroll the hair and roll it again until the hair is

dried evenly.
