Using a curling brush on short hair involves creating bend and volume by twisting the brush and pulling it through sections of your hair.
Here's a breakdown of how to use a curling brush effectively on short hair:
- Preparation: Start with dry or slightly damp hair. If your hair is wet, blow-dry it first. You can also apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.
- Sectioning: Divide your hair into manageable sections. This ensures even heat distribution and styling. Smaller sections will create tighter curls, while larger sections will result in looser waves or bends.
- Technique: Take a section of hair and place the curling brush at the root. Twist the brush, wrapping the hair around it. Then, slowly pull the brush down through the section of hair. The twisting motion helps create the curl or bend.
- Direction: Experiment with different directions of twisting to create varied looks. Twisting away from your face opens up your features, while twisting towards your face creates a more defined style.
- Finishing: Once you've curled all sections, you can use your fingers to gently separate the curls or waves. Apply a light-hold hairspray to keep your style in place.
Remember to practice and experiment to find the techniques that work best for your hair type and desired style. You can create various looks, from subtle bends to voluminous waves, with a curling brush.
