1 00:00:09,208 --> 00:00:10,250 OK. Hi, 2 00:00:10,250 --> 00:00:13,666 my name's Rachel Price, and I'm going to do a demonstration 3 00:00:13,916 --> 00:00:17,375 on a round brush blow dry and also 4 00:00:17,375 --> 00:00:20,958 a radial brush blow dry. So. 5 00:00:20,958 --> 00:00:24,166 Obviously, the round brushes come in different sizes, so 6 00:00:24,166 --> 00:00:27,458 depending on the hair length that you are working on, you would choose 7 00:00:27,708 --> 00:00:31,791 to which depth that you want the brush to be . 8 00:00:31,791 --> 00:00:35,083 So I think with this one, we're going to kind of go with that medium sized brush. 9 00:00:35,958 --> 00:00:40,041 The sections that I've used on the head, so I've done that center section 10 00:00:40,041 --> 00:00:43,333 all the way from the front, going down to the nape 11 00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:45,208 and then have sectioned the front sections 12 00:00:45,208 --> 00:00:47,208 off from the top of the head to the back of the ear. 13 00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:51,041 I've used my comb to get real clean sections. 14 00:00:51,375 --> 00:00:55,333 But the main thing you want to be aware of is the depth of your section 15 00:00:55,333 --> 00:00:57,875 wants to mirror the brush that you're working on. 16 00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,500 So really with this, 17 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:03,541 you can see that's a perfect size for me to kind of get the effect that we want. 18 00:01:04,666 --> 00:01:09,250 So I've got my hair dryer here and I've got my nozzle on the end. 19 00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:12,208 So depending on whether you like to use the nozzle or not, 20 00:01:12,416 --> 00:01:14,833 what the nozzle will do, the effects of the nozzle on the hair, 21 00:01:14,833 --> 00:01:18,375 it will direct the air flow in one place. 22 00:01:18,666 --> 00:01:21,500 So if you want to achieve a smooth, silky 23 00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,583 straight look, then the airflow is very good to have. 24 00:01:24,958 --> 00:01:28,541 Just be mindful of the settings that you're working on, and it's 25 00:01:28,541 --> 00:01:29,416 very good, particularly 26 00:01:29,416 --> 00:01:33,500 if you're working on thick, textured hair and curly, coarse hair. 27 00:01:33,708 --> 00:01:35,833 But just be mindful of somebody with fine hair, 28 00:01:35,833 --> 00:01:37,875 or if it has got lots of chemical treatments 29 00:01:38,083 --> 00:01:39,250 because obviously more likely 30 00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:41,458 to kind of cause a little bit of damage onto the hair. 31 00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:44,916 So I've got my sections, I've got my dryer. 32 00:01:44,916 --> 00:01:45,791 So what we're going to kind of 33 00:01:45,791 --> 00:01:50,083 do now, we're going to concentrate on drying the roots to start with. 34 00:01:50,416 --> 00:01:53,958 So this technique that I'm going to be using before I put the hair dryer on, 35 00:01:54,708 --> 00:01:58,875 I'm going to use my brush to get the hair nice and smooth around the brush. 36 00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:02,083 I'm going to get my brush in at naught degrees 37 00:02:02,083 --> 00:02:05,041 because I don't want to create too much lift on this blow dry. 38 00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:09,458 But again, if you want to create body, you can elevate the hair 39 00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:12,750 and 90 degree, which is going to give you a little bit more lift there. 40 00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:16,875 But what we want to achieve today is to keep it nice and smooth and sleek. 41 00:02:16,875 --> 00:02:21,500 So we're going to kind of be working down again the settings on your dryer. 42 00:02:22,458 --> 00:02:23,916 I'm going to be having 43 00:02:23,916 --> 00:02:27,666 fast speed, medium heat and again at that last second, 44 00:02:27,666 --> 00:02:29,750 if you want to use the cool option on your dryer, 45 00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:31,000 then you can use the cool option 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,375 and what that would do that will kind of set the hair into place it's 47 00:02:35,375 --> 00:02:40,666 going to again create a nice silky shine and remove any frizziness on the hair. 48 00:02:51,958 --> 00:02:54,333 So I'm just going to make sure my brush is under, 49 00:02:55,875 --> 00:03:00,208 and I'm just going to use the direction of the air flow with a little bit of a gap 50 00:03:00,208 --> 00:03:04,500 between the sections to create a smooth finish on the hair. 51 00:03:05,416 --> 00:03:07,750 I've got really good tension 52 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:10,083 so that you're creating a smooth look. 53 00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:24,625 I've got a little gap between the nozzle and the bristles, just so I'm not putting the direct heat 54 00:03:34,958 --> 00:03:36,708 And now I'm just going to finish the ends off 55 00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:39,791 by smoothing on the brush. 56 00:03:41,875 --> 00:03:44,583 So I just want to make sure it's 100% dry. 57 00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:50,541 And then if you want to use that cool setting which I've got my finger on now, 58 00:03:50,541 --> 00:03:52,958 it will just mold that shape 59 00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:56,750 and create a smooth finish. 60 00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:08,500 And that's my first section done and then I'm just going to do the same 61 00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:12,208 on this technique here, so I'm going to get my brush through. 62 00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:54,041 Then I'm just going to use my cool setting 63 00:04:54,041 --> 00:04:56,791 just to mould that shape. 64 00:05:10,583 --> 00:05:12,875 So if you've got a client that wanted a little bit 65 00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:17,000 more of a bounce on the ends as your kind of working down with your bush, 66 00:05:17,291 --> 00:05:21,041 you can kind of just wrap the bush round on the ends like that, and that would 67 00:05:21,041 --> 00:05:23,041 kind of give you a bit more of a curve. 68 00:05:23,041 --> 00:05:25,125 But if not,you can even just by bringing that down, 69 00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:26,875 you can see what we've achieved there. 70 00:05:27,875 --> 00:05:30,000 So what I'm going to do in my next section, 71 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,958 we're going to bring it down, but you just need to be mindful 72 00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:34,625 that you don't comb 73 00:05:34,625 --> 00:05:37,666 the next section directly onto the section that you've already achieved. 74 00:05:37,666 --> 00:05:40,750 So again, think about what we said about the section of the hair: 75 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,958 needs to mirror the brush that you're working on. 76 00:05:42,958 --> 00:05:46,500 So just going to come straight across in the horizontal section. 77 00:05:48,125 --> 00:05:52,625 Going to clip this hair up out the way and then what I would do here. 78 00:05:52,916 --> 00:05:54,583 I'm going to comb out like that. 79 00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:56,916 So it's not combing directly because you can see, 80 00:05:56,916 --> 00:06:00,583 even though we've done, it's sleek, it's created a little bit of body there. 81 00:06:11,708 --> 00:06:14,708 Okay. Now because we're on the wider 82 00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:17,791 part of the head we're probably going to have to do it in three sections so... 83 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:20,791 Again, I'm going to get my hair dryer on. 84 00:06:20,791 --> 00:06:22,833 I've got my medium heat, fast speed. 85 00:06:24,625 --> 00:06:27,500 I'm going to use my finger to pick up that hair. 86 00:06:31,125 --> 00:06:33,666 And again, with the air flow 87 00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:39,500 sitting flat down, I'm going to create a smooth finish on the hair. 88 00:07:12,208 --> 00:07:16,250 Just going to concentrate on these ends now, keeping my air flow pointing down. 89 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,250 And now just going to put my cool setting on. 90 00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:40,458 And I'm going to continue the same on both sides. 91 00:07:56,458 --> 00:07:57,791 OK, so what we've done, 92 00:07:57,791 --> 00:08:02,125 we've continued doing the same process working on our horizontal sections 93 00:08:02,833 --> 00:08:05,875 all the way up to the top section that we're going to work on last. 94 00:08:05,875 --> 00:08:07,416 So same as before. 95 00:08:07,416 --> 00:08:10,208 Make sure that we kind of don't comb the hair directly onto the hair 96 00:08:10,208 --> 00:08:13,625 that you've already blow dried because any root lift or volume 97 00:08:13,625 --> 00:08:17,166 that you may have created will kind of flatten that. 98 00:08:17,166 --> 00:08:19,166 So we're going to comb that hair out. 99 00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:22,083 And then what we're going to do is continue to work on here. 100 00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:25,791 If the client wanted to create 101 00:08:25,791 --> 00:08:29,083 a little bit of a lift through the top, then what you can do, you can come in 102 00:08:29,458 --> 00:08:33,000 as I mentioned before and get your brush and create a little bit of lift. 103 00:08:33,583 --> 00:08:38,041 If a client's decided they want it smooth and sleek, the other option you can do 104 00:08:38,375 --> 00:08:41,291 is you can bring the brush on top so you create in a smooth, smooth 105 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,041 finish here, but without any volume. 106 00:08:44,541 --> 00:08:47,625 By doing that, I'm just going to put my brush on top to start with. 107 00:08:47,625 --> 00:08:49,750 Just to dry that root area. 108 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:53,333 Again I've got really good tension on there. 109 00:08:56,916 --> 00:08:58,000 And now I'm going to go back 110 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,916 to the process of my brush underneath. 111 00:09:04,583 --> 00:09:06,750 Keeping good tention all the way down. 112 00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:33,708 This top section, I'm going to slightly bend here 113 00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:37,000 just so it sits good over the previous section. 114 00:09:40,958 --> 00:09:44,250 And I'm just going to finish the section with my cool air 115 00:10:05,833 --> 00:10:06,500 And there we go, 116 00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:09,333 and that's how you create a nice, smooth sleek look. 117 00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:13,500 By working with the radial brush, 118 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,750 always make sure that the direction of the air flow 119 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:19,875 is really important, keep it facing down to see you get smooth cuticles 120 00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:23,125 and kind of using the cool air will give you that extra finish. 121 00:10:23,625 --> 00:10:24,916 So once the back's done. 122 00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:27,333 We would continue on the one side and then the other. 123 00:10:27,666 --> 00:10:31,708 Obviously, sometimes as you're working, if the hair is dried throughout 124 00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:33,500 then you might need to damp it back down. 125 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:33,958 Because remember, 126 00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:37,250 the hair needs to be able to mold the shape by going from wet to dry 127 00:10:37,458 --> 00:10:39,875 and then from hot to cold to give you that sleek finish.
