Head Rush

Ladies, I know exactly what happens when you go to the salon. First you get a shampoo, cut, and blowdry. You leave looking fabulous and ready to hurt people with your new 'do. A couple of days later after washing your own hair, it never looks as good as it did when you left the salon, no matter how hard you try.

It was all in the blow-dry, wasn't it?

Presenting Blow-Dry Boot Camp. Pont De Vue in Los Angeles, offers women a two day crash course on proper technique in blow-drying your hair so it you look like you just left the salon.

The biggest mistake they see women make: a lack of coordination between the way they hold the brush in one hand and point the dryer in another. They offer a few tips: 1. Comb your and part your hair hair into four cleanly squared sections through use of your mirror. 2. Short hair: short brush. Long hair: longer and thicker brush. 3. Volume your hair by heating the first two inches in the brush for at least eight seconds.

Sorry ladies, a stylist caliber blow-dry after leaving the salon chair isn't achieved just by drying it upside down.
