To create the perfect smooth base needed to achieve these styles with a flat iron like my Sedu revolution, I always begin with freshly shampooed conditioned hair. Before I use any appliance that generates heat, I like to generously spread the heat styling protectant all over my hair from roots to ends. This will protect it from the excessive heat and also add additional moisture and shine.
Now, I am ready to begin blow drying. I clipped my hair up and out of the way, and using a round barrel ceramic brush. I take a small section. I have rolled this section of hair loosely around the brush up towards my roots.
I hold the drier with the nozzle about two inches away pointed at the hair section and I pull the brush, and the dryer down the section to the ends. I continue going over this section until it's completely dry.
I work my way around from back to front sectioning off and blow drying each piece until my hair is completely finished. A good blow out gives my hair the smooth perfect base needed for styling with a flat iron.
Before I start styling my hair, I part it down the centre from the front to the back of my head and pull each section to either side. Then, I take each side section and divide it into two pieces above my ear and below. I secure the sections above my ear, so they are out of my way until I am ready to style them. Now, I am ready to begin styling one section below my ear.
