PRO TIP # 1: Pick the right brush for blow-drying In this case, one size doesn't fit all! Choose a large round brush to straighten long, coarse or curly hair; a medium-size one to add body and smoothness to medium-to-long hair; or small one to give short hair a volume boost.

PRO TIP # 2: Use a nozzle - or diffuser - with your blow dryer These attachments can make the difference between a good blow-dry and a great one! A nozzle directs air-flow to give you a smoother blow-dry and a diffuser allows you to dry curly or wavy hair without causing frizz. |
 |
PRO TIP # 3: Section hair before you style Ever wonder why professional hairstyles look so good? One reason is that stylists take time to divide hair into sections first. Use clips to section off your hair, so you can work in a neat, controlled manner - just like your stylist. |
 |
PRO TIP # 4: Make sure hair's 100% dry Before you use a flat-iron, curling iron or any other hot tool, make sure hair is thoroughly dried - otherwise, the heat can cause damage. The one exception: wet-to-dry-flat-irons, which are specifically designed to be used on damp hair. |
 |
PRO TIP # 5: Tuck those ends under Make sure the very tip of your hair is tucked into your curling-iron before you roll it up. Otherwise, you'll end up with what stylists all a "fishhook" - a small section that's bent backwards. |
 |
PRO TIP # 6: Keep your flat-iron moving Move your flat-iron down each section in smooth passes with medium pressure. Starting and stopping, as a well as pressing too hard, can leave "dents" in your hair. |

PRO TIP # 7: Place hot rollers the right way |
