Get ready to learn the tricks of the trade for creating a salon-perfect look!  I am going to give you step-by-step instruction on how to round brush your hair.  There are so many benefits to round brush styling.

1. Your hair will experience less breakage because
   you won’t need to use a flat iron.
2. You can create a full, voluminous “do” without
   any harsh back-combing.
3. The round brush allows you to create a straight
   or wavy look.

Step 1:

Prep your damp hair with your favorite hair prep
strengthening product.

For fine hair, I would recommend

• Aveda’s Brilliant™ Damage Control

-protects against thermal/UV damage

-reduces breakage

-enriched with wheat proteins

AND

• Light Elements™ Smoothing Fluid.

-weightlessly smoothes frizz

-restores shine

For medium to coarse hair, I would go with

• Aveda’s Damage Remedy™ Daily Hair Repair

-instantly repairs hair

-helps protect from heat styling

• Smooth Infusion™ Style Prep

-12-hour humidity defense

-helps protect from heat styling

AND

• Smooth Infusion™ Glossing Straightener

-all-day straightness and shine

-protects cuticle from heat damage

Step 2:

If you are going for a voluminous hair-do with a lot of
body, incorporate a product that will lift your hair root right up.  I suggest using Aveda’s Phomollient™ Hair Foam or Volumizing Tonic™. Spray or pump and work it into the base of your hair.

Step 3:

Using the right tools really makes a difference!  Sally’s Beauty Supply has great professional blow dryers at an affordable cost.  Begin with power drying your wet hair.  You don’t want to begin round brushing on super wet hair… It’s a waste of time!

Step 4:

When you hair is just slightly damp, section it off into 3 or 4 horizontal sections, depending on the thickness of your hair.  Begin with the bottom section, closest to your neck line.  Hold the round brush in your dominate hand, but holding just with your thumb, pointer, and middle finger.  You want to make sure that you can easily spin the brush with just one hand. Holding onto your blow dryer in your left hand, aim the air downward on your hair section.

Step 5:

If you’re looking for a wavy look, rotate your wrists in a circular motion as you spin down the hair section with your round brush.  Your want your hair to spiral around.  When you reach the tip of the hair shaft, gently pull the section off the brush.

If you’re looking for smoother look, simply start at the base and spin the brush as you work our way down the hair shaft.

(Repeat for all
sections)

Step 6:

Complete and secure your hair salon quality look with

Aveda’s AirControl™ or Control Force™ Hairspray.
