Blow drying

Hold the hair dryer in a comfortable position. Do not hold the hair dryer too close to your head, as this will damage your hair and scalp.
First use your fingers to lift the roots as you dry. Then curl sections of the hair around the brush and apply heat. Turn the brush in your fingers as you are doing this. Repeat this step until the hair is dry. You can also use the brush to style the ends of your hair.
