NEW QUESTION AT END: How to blow out hair straight and NOT get curled ends?

Any tips? No matter what size brush I use, my ends still curl.

Are you trying to blow in? If so, spray a bit while you have it rolled on the brush then blow dry..then spray again..sounds like a lot, but you don't need a lot of spray..hope this helps..

I move the brush around - do you have a really large brush? Moving in and away from me.

Once I got a blowout with a 3 sided brush - my hair was soo straight. I got it a Harmon or Essentials at the mall. That may help too.

this may be obvious but do you use cold air to "set" your ends after you use heat on them?

No because then it would set in a curl. Chat Icon

You can use a round brush to blow the hair straight, then a paddle brush just for the ends.

gotcha..they never get straight in the first place. Good luck, the other suggestion is what I do (round brush and then flat for ends)

I found the triangle brush for you.
It's from Creative - I got it at Harmon.

Okay, I tried the paddle brush and yeah, the results are straighter ends. Only thing is I feel that it doesn't grab the hair like my round brush. Is that how it is or am I doind something wrong? Chat Icon

that's how it is. the bristles aren't what really grab your hair, it's when you wrap your hair around the barrel of the brush that makes your hair go taut... that shouldn't happen with a paddle brush.

as long as your point the nozzle of the dryer down your hair shouldn't go flying everywhere. glad it worked for you!
