Styling hair without a round brush focuses on using your hands and potentially other tools to achieve volume and desired styles.
Here's a breakdown of how to style hair without relying on a round brush:
-
Using Your Hands for Volume: As seen in the YouTube video excerpt, the first step involves blow-drying your hair using only your hands. The initial result might be poofy, but the primary goal is to create overall volume. This sets the foundation for further styling. Focus on lifting sections of your hair at the roots as you dry to maximize volume.

Alternative Tools: While the question specifies no round brush, consider other options:
- Paddle Brush: A paddle brush is great for smoothing and detangling hair while blow-drying. It won't create the same curl as a round brush, but it can help straighten and add shine.
- Wide-Tooth Comb: Useful for detangling wet or dry hair and can be used in conjunction with a blow dryer for a looser, more natural style.
- Hair Dryer Attachments: Diffusers are great for curly hair, preventing frizz and enhancing natural curl patterns while blow-drying. Nozzle attachments concentrate airflow for more targeted drying.
- Curling Iron/Wand/Flat Iron: These hot tools can be used after blow-drying to add curls, waves, or further straighten the hair.
-
Product Usage:
- Heat Protectant: Essential to protect hair from damage when using heat styling tools.
- Volumizing Products: Mousse, root lifters, or volumizing sprays can be applied before blow-drying to boost volume.
- Finishing Products: Hairspray or texturizing spray can help hold the style in place and add texture.
In short, styling without a round brush involves using your hands and/or other tools like paddle brushes and hot tools, combined with the right products, to achieve desired volume and style.
