Figured I ought to ask my questions in this existing thread ... Anyways, Janelle, I just watched your tutorial for the first time, and I'm wondering, how long does it take you to dry your hair? It just looks like it would take a long time to dry, going over each section so many times. Even on a medium heat setting, I can run the flat iron down each section of hair just once and get it much straighter than going over and over the same section with a dryer! (Granted, I never tried drying both the top and bottom before!) I have very thick but fine hair, and can get it dry it in 7-8 minutes (without styling it at all), then flat iron it in about 10... Meanwhile, I used to spend 30 minutes trying to straighten my hair with a dryer and brush with no luck...
And do you dry your hair part way before you start using the brush, or do you start with completely wet hair? I couldn't tell in the video.
Also, my ends always had way too much flip on the end when I blowdry (it was more of a curl -- and they always went in different directions which I hated! The whole left side of my head would curl under, while the whole right side would flip out -- looks like I am always standing in a wind!) I love my flatiron because it actually gets the ends *almost* straight... they will never be stick-straight but at least they have a normal flip instead of a crazy curl! Just wondering if your technique would also help straightening the ends more because that was one thing I could never do.... I might try this blowdrying technique some morning when I have extra time though! (haha, not sure when that would be!)
Sorry about all my ramblings, but I have heard a lot of stories about this tutorial so I thought I ought to watch it myself! lol

Hey Jenn
Here are the answers to some of your questions....
Figured I ought to ask my questions in this existing thread ... Anyways, Janelle, I just watched your tutorial for the first time, and I'm wondering, how long does it take you to dry your hair? about 20 min. It just looks like it would take a long time to dry, going over each section so many times. I only have to go over it about 4x each section --- 2 over, 2 under Even on a medium heat setting, I can run the flat iron down each section of hair just once and get it much straighter than going over and over the same section with a dryer! I can't use a flat iron alone (if I were to use one) my hair would be flat, yes... but still wavy & frizzy. I would have to dry it straight first either way... (Granted, I never tried drying both the top and bottom before!) I have very thick but fine hair, and can get it dry it in 7-8 minutes (without styling it at all), then flat iron it in about 10... Meanwhile, I used to spend 30 minutes trying to straighten my hair with a dryer and brush with no luck... my hair will actually 'dry' fast - but I style @ the same time... and since its almost at my lower back... it takes a little longer
And do you dry your hair part way before you start using the brush, or do you start with completely wet hair? I couldn't tell in the video. I start with damp hair (some parts like the front usually almost dry on their own before I start) You never want to dry your hair from soaking wet to completely dry ---- too drying. But I just do it in sections, starting from the root to the ends... I dont' do parts first
Also, my ends always had way too much flip on the end when I blowdry (it was more of a curl -- and they always went in different directions which I hated! The whole left side of my head would curl under, while the whole right side would flip out -- looks like I am always standing in a wind!) I love my flatiron because it actually gets the ends *almost* straight... they will never be stick-straight but at least they have a normal flip instead of a crazy curl! Just wondering if your technique would also help straightening the ends more because that was one thing I could never do.... I might try this blowdrying technique some morning when I have extra time though! (haha, not sure when that would be!) I'm sure it'll help to curl in the direction you want if you use a smaller round ceramic brush... more control. And if you want straight ends... mine get that 'iron' look from a paddle brush

Anytime!

glad it works for so many people! I wish there was some tutorial about blow drying hair for volume... my hair is straight and flat, and I never know how to blow dry it properly

Yay! I still haven't seen this tut, but I just went based on what I remember seeing when I worked as a receptionist in a salon. My last attempt was for ha-has, and I succeeded! I'll have to get on the ball seeing the video tuts when I finally get DSL!

I agree! My hair is flat also, but if blow dry my hair upside down or lift up with a round brush at the roots that helps! I hope someone will do a video tut. though!!
