Using round brushes

Small brush

A small metal or wooden round brush adds curl and definition to the shape of your cut. The hot air from the dryer heats up the brush, effectively turning it into a hot brush. Use the brush in a rolling motion and, beginning at the nape of the neck, move to the sides of the head and finish at the top. To give extra hold, leave the brush in the hair for 10 seconds, allowing it to cool down.

Medium brush

Use a medium-sized metal or wooden round brush to create a structured style with volume and wave. Use this brush the same way as you would a small metal brush. Begin at the nape of the neck and, with a rolling motion, move to the sides of the head, finishing at the top. To give extra hold, leave the brush in the hair for 10 seconds, allowing it to cool down.

Large brush

A large metal or wooden round brush will straighten out the curliest hair textures to give a smooth shiny look. Beginning at the roots, place the brush close to the scalp and, with a firm motion, gently pull the brush down the hair. Attach a nozzle to your hairdryer and direct the hot air downwards in order to close the outer cuticle of the hair. To create wave and volume in long hair, a large metal brush works by heating the hair like a hot brush. Wrap sections of the hair around the brush and hold for between 10 and 20 seconds. Release the hair and spritz it with a holding spray. The result will be bouncy curls.
