How to make curls with a hair dryer and brush: tips from the experts
Getting curls to make Pooh envy of the golden age is not impossible, in fact with our tricks it is within your reach with just a few simple tools: a professional hair dryer and a brush. Follow the step-by-step guide in which we point out some ways to get humidity and frizz-proof wavy hair!
Step 1 - Wash your hair with specific curl products
To make curls with the help of only a brush and hair dryer, it is essential to wash your hair with the right products. Choose gentle shampoos specifically for wavy hair and apply a volumizing, anti-frizz mousse after washing.
Step 2 - Brush and blow dryer time
Once you have towel-dried and removed excess water, wrap the hair strand by strand around a rotary brush, preferably ceramic so as not to damage the hair. Point the blow dryer at the strand until it is completely dry and then release the hair from the brush. Be sure to always keep a distance of at least 4 inches between the hair and the blow dryer to avoid stressing your hair.
Step 3 - Use the nozzles to secure the ringlets
With dry hair, wrap one strand at a time around your finger and secure it at the nape of the neck with an iron nozzle. Once you've done this process all over your hair, let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Step 4 - Finish for your perfect ringlets
Finally, remove all the spouts and separate your curls with your fingers to keep them defined, but don't use a brush. Don't forget to always keep the roots moisturized by applying a few drops of hair oil and spray a little hairspray: et voila, you're done!

Accessories for making curls: brushes and nozzles ringlets accessories
The most suitable brush for making ringlets, as we mentioned in the article, is the rotating ceramic one. This type of tool, as opposed to an iron one, does not damage the hair and leaves the hair soft, avoiding burning the ends. However, if you own an iron brush, go ahead and use it, but be careful not to bring the blow dryer too close to it and keep the strand rolled for less time.
As for the nozzles, these come with our hair dryers: the narrower ones are for defining the crease, while the wider ones are for faster drying.
Are you ready for perfect ringlets? All you have to do is get to work!
