Hah, a million times better than I could do. I suck at doing hair.

what about using a round brush to dry it with? the other pic looked like the ends were curled up a bit. that's what I do with my hair (not saying it's awesome or anything...)

Cool, looks good.

Your bangs look really good, but I agree with above commenter that the ends would look awesome with some curl. However, I am hair retarded, so I have no idea how to go about doing that. At any rate, it looks about a billion times better than it would if I had done it.

Unless I go slowly with the hairdryer and round brush, I get similar results. I often use my flat iron to smooth it out.

Recently I bought a volumizing Chi iron which is pretty awesome.

It looks pretty good! :) I like it.

However, here are some nice tips (since I saw others giving them...)

Blowdry or Flat Iron?

If Blowdry--to curl under: use round brush, keep it close to your head, put hair around it (so it curls toward your face) and blow dry on low and warm. Kind of move the brush up and down (like lose a little hair around the brush, then roll it back up into it) until dry. It SHOULD* have a nice curl under.

If it fails at this, but is nicely blowdried you could use the flat iron over it.

Flat Iron: do nearly the same thing. Just kind of tilt it in the direction you want the hair to go while having it on a medium type setting and it SHOULD* work even if the flat iron is a little large. Do this several times, keep curling it under (but REALLY REALLY EXAGERRATE it. Otherwise it will end up stick straight and not nicely curled under).


* SHOULD is the operative word here.
