The secrets of a successful brushing

The preparation

After straightening your hair with the detangling comb, spray a heat protection spray on your damp hair to protect it from the heat (4 to 5 sprays).

Create volume

Tilt your head forward, dry the roots using your hair dryer at medium heat and speed, then do the same for the lengths. When the hair is 50% dry, continue to the next step.

The right movement with the brush

Use your hair dryer at maximum power and temperature.

Start at the front of the head: wrap the hair section by section around your round ceramic brush. Dry by directing the brush upwards to loosen the roots. Be sure to direct the air flow towards the ceramic brush body.

Get natural styling

Once the hair is dry, use the cold air button of the hair dryer and fix the movement.

Dry the sides and then the back of the head, still wrapping the hair around the brush. Blow-dry different sized sections for ultra-natural styling.

Create a roll with each bit and secure with pliers.

The right thing to do: cool down to fix

After all sections have cooled and pinned, decrease the power of the blow dryer and diffuse the cold air throughout the hair to set.

Give shape to styling

Remove the clamps, backcomb the roots then secure with hairspray. Tilt your head back and even out the style with your hands to erase the created partings.

The final touch

To obtain the very natural and infinitely glamorous “combed-hairstyle” touch, finish styling using your hairdryer in the cold air position and brushing lightly with your oval brush.
