Adding volume to the hair by blow drying

Equipment you will need: 

• Hairdryer 
• Round brush 
• Denman brush 
• Paddle brush 
• Water spray 
• Mousse  
• Section clips 
  
  

Step One: 

Start by brushing through the hair to ensure there are no knots, if the hair is wet you will need to blast it with a hot hairdryer first so that it’s only slightly damp. The last 10% of moisture is what changes the state of the hair so you will save time by blasting it beforehand. 

Step Two: 

The best way is to start with the back then do the sides so section off the hair and take a small piece of hair, if the section is too big it will be more difficult to get close to the root.  

Step Three: 

Hold the round brush underneath the section and hold it upright blowing the hot air into the root, once that’s dry you can move onto the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. At this point you can angle the brush more towards your body as the volume is only focusing at the roots.  

Step Four:  

Take down another section of hair and repeat the above, keep going until you reach the crown then move onto the sides.  

Step Five: 

When you get to about the temples of the head stop and go back to the top, you want to brush the remaining section of hair forward and bring the brush underneath pointing the hairdryer forwards, this will give even more volume when you flip the hair back. 

Step Six: 

The sides will blend in with the front section when drying giving you lots of volume at the front of the head. To finish off roughly spiral curl the ends and brush out, this will just give a polished look to the hairstyle.
