What kind of Round Brush are you using?

[kbfluff]

Y'all are scaring me with those pics!!! Just tear your hair out why don't ya!!

These are the types of brushes that are safe for our hair:

Macherieamour uses a brush like the one on the far right. Note that there are plastic balls on the ends of the bristles. If you have thick hair, these are the kind that will work for you.

I have fine hair, and use the 2 brushes in the middle. The tiny one (Spornette brand from Sally's) is what I use on my roots for blowing out after rollersets. Please note that these are SOFT bristle boar brushes. You can wrap your hand around the brush and it will give very well and not hurt the hand. I've got the other, firmer bristled brushes and they TEAR the hair out erplexed

ETA: The 2 brushes on the left I got from Target (Conair); the 2 on the right from Sally's.

Yes indeed! I was scared as well from those brushes...but to each her own.

I don't know how you do it with that big brush! I can't manage. How do you do it?

Its actually probably good for me since Im likely to wrap my hair around the small ones and get it stuck! lol....I just act like Im gonna brush it back and pull it up towards the ceiling, and kind of do a half turn towards my forehead like Im gonna curl it....but only enough to pull it taut and then blast the heat on my roots.

I bought one similar to the second from the right in artemis's pic.

Macherie has a tuturial video which I'm going to rewatch before I try to blow my roots...

ETA: I just did this technique and it works great! I don't use water, I use Tresemme Heat Tamer spray(my stylist recced).
