Tools Of The Trade
 Get a
blow-dryer with 1500 watts max. Higher voltages can fry your
hair. The
hair dryer should also have a built-in heat sensor to protect
from burning.
A flattening attachment like Champion Straight-On Straightening
Pic will turn most dryers into straighteners.
When
heat styling, start with the lowest setting, hot appliances
will damage hair. (I can't say this enough).
A hot
air brush blows heated air through built-in bristles, giving
you the benefits of a blow-dryer, round brush and curling iron
in one tool... I use this on many clients. Julbere Blue Lightning
Hot Air Brush is available in most stores & is one I recommend.
If you
plan to trim your own bangs, invest in a good pair of shears,
paper scissors just don't cut it. (To trim your own bangs, twist
the hair together into one piece then snip into the ends in
a zigzag motion. Brush out the hair & cut the longer pieces
to match the shorter ones.) More on hair cutting tips coming
soon.
Every two weeks clean your brushes by soaking them in warm,
soapy water for a few minutes. Rinse & air dry.
A broken-in brush is easier to work with than a new one.
To break in a new brush, heat the bristles with a blow dryer
to soften them for easier styling.
Make sure your hair is dry before using curling irons or irons
to straighten. These are not meant to dry your hair, but to
finish your look, use them last.
NEVER use a metal comb which can tear hair, use a plastic one
with large teeth, you can buy a good one for a dollar!
Flat
Irons are great, but go easy on the heat (low setting) and take
a couple of days off from them. If you use one daily you will
break hair.
Please be kind to your locks!
