To effectively use a flat brush for hair, particularly when blow-drying, follow these steps:
Preparing Your Hair
- Rough Dry: Begin by rough drying your hair with a detangling brush until it's about 50% dry. This step removes excess water and prevents damage.
- Apply Products: Before sectioning your hair, apply a leave-in conditioner and hair oil. This will help to protect your hair from the heat and add moisture, creating a smoother finish.
Flat Brush Blow-Drying Technique
- Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections. This ensures each part is properly dried and styled.
- Brush Placement: Rock the flat brush along your scalp and then into the hair section. Make sure the hair is sitting on the boar bristles of the brush. This gives you better control and helps smooth the hair cuticles.
- Blow Drying: While holding the section taut with the brush, direct the airflow from your hair dryer down the hair shaft. This helps to close the cuticles and create a smooth, shiny finish.
This method of using a flat brush for blow-drying helps to achieve a smoother, straighter, and more polished look.
