Thread: hair tips

anyone have any hair tips?


heres my tips

to help maintain healthy hair : get a good nights sleep and eat a balanced diet.

backcombing : work in small sections, holding the hair ends at a 90 degree angle to the head. run comb through hair from ends to root in smooth, gentle strokes for maximum effect.

fine tooth rattail : precise teasing or backcombing

dip pik : great detangler for wet hair

create curls on a flat iron : place the hair section between the plates as normal. with the plates closed, rotate the iron 2 complete revolutions and then slide to the end of the hair section as normal.

add volume on a flat iron : flips or curves hold hair between plates and wrap around outside of top plate.

straightening with comb : helps guide hair and eliminates tangles for smoother and faster straightening. comb your hair under the flat iron while straightening to prevent fuzz.

create an alluring up do : after removing the iron from the hair, re-roll each curl and pin up randomly. leave a few trailing tendrils. for sexy, tousled curls make small vertical curls in hair. separate curls with fingers. for tighter curls, use a small barrel. for loose curls, use larger barrel. section hair evenly and comb each section before winding. place curling iron midway up hair section; spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. ro avoid crimped ends, securely wind hair under spoon in direction of desired curl

sexy and tousled curls : make small vertical curls in hair. separate curls with fingers. for tighter curls use a small 3/4" barrel, for loose curls use a larger barrel. section hair evenly, and comb each section before winding. place curling iron midway up hair section; spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. to avoid crimped ends, securely wind hair under the spoon in the direction of desired curl.

curling iron : use low heat settings for curling extra fine, damaged, or dry hair.

total styling : begins with hair that is clean and dry.

hair dryer : select lower heats and speed for finishing hairstyle or for drying permed, color-treated, or fragile hair.

hair dryer : use higher heat for initial drying, lowering the heat as you finish styling. Use Cool Shot to set curls or style in place.

hair dryer : initially when hair is wet, use dryer on high speed without the concentrator nozzle. dry hair until it is slightly damp. attach concentrator, using medium to high speed to style and/or straighten hair. always blow dry hair starting from root down to ends. use cool shotbutton to lock in style.

hair dryer :use medium to high speed to style or straighten hair. blow dry hair starting from the root down to ends to seal the cuticles. result use slim concentrator nozzle for detailed styling.

lint filter : take off the dryers rear cap and clean any lint or hair caught in screen. it improves dryers airflow and takes strain off motor, improving life of dryer.

always treat hair right with superior quality shampoos and conditioners prior to styling
