Most blow dryer brushes are equipped with a cool shot function, so once you've finished styling a section and it's completely dry, pass the brush through one last time on the coldest setting, styling in the same direction you did with the hotter air.

“This will help to seal the cuticle of the hair shaft, preventing moisture from getting into it and causing unwanted frizz.” Set with the cold shotĪs with a hair dryer, the number one step to set your style in place is to “Finish with a shot of cold air,” according to Hayes. Once you've gently pulled it through, the section should be successfully 'swooped' – but if it doesn't look quite right, you can use the brush to touch up the sections until they're in the desired position. Then, place the brush head behind the same section of hair at the roots – where a roller might sit – and brush upwards, turning the brush head slightly towards you. To style trending curtain bangs or 'swoop' face-framing sections, first use the brush to blow dry both sections together out in front of you, pulling the brush through your hair away from your face.
