We're back with the 2nd edition of How To Tuesdays at Michael's Salon! This video features our owner, Michael Schuh Jr., demonstrating round brush techniques. Obviously (once you see Michael you'll understand why I say obviously - he has no hair) he can't demonstrate this technique on himself. So he used model Rachel Novick to demonstrate how to straighten her curly hair.
To recap, here are Michael's tips:
- Apply product when hair is wet, beginning at the roots and spreading down to the ends. Michael used Elixir and Swell Gel on Rachel.
- Finger dry hair until it is about 80% dry. With Rachel's curly hair, he then smoothed her hair with a denman brush before round brushing.
- When round brushing, hold the dryer at the nozzle so you can control the direction of the heat.
- After you round brush a section, bend it to the side so the section keeps its shape and you can continue underneath.
This demonstration was part of a
training video produced by Michael on how to cut a swingline bob. Rachel had a dramatic makeover that day - her hair was down to the middle of her back - and after Michael was done it was at her chin! Here are her before and after photos:
