* Start by washing your hair.

* Comb with a wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles. Partially blow-dry your hair to get rid of excess moisture.

* Spray a volumising tonic on your hair, or a handful of mousse spread from tips to ends for extra oomph. (for volumised effect), or straightening balm for straighter/sleek effect

* Pin hair up and take out small sections at a time to blow-dry. Hold the dryer in one hand and a styling brush in the other.

* Place the brush underneath the first section of hair and position it at the roots. Keep the tension on the hair (without tugging too hard) and move the brush down towards the ends, while directing the air flow down the hair, following the movement of the brush.

* Blow-dry using a large, round brush with a metal core. Wind hair completely up the brush, focusing on creating lift at the roots. Gently blast hair with a hair-dryer until dry.

* Curl the brush under at the ends to achieve a slight bend. Continue until the back sections are completely dry and then repeat on the top sections of hair.

* Finish with a light, flexible hairspray.

* Remember, practice makes perfect!
