Which Round Brush Gives You the Best Bounce? Full Blowout Tutorial

Bouncy Blowout Routine (Multiple Round Brushes)

Goal

• Quick blowout with smoothness + some bounce

Product Layering (Applied in Layers)

1) Aveda Miraculous Oil

• Use: every wash
• Why: adds hydration/moisture and acts as a heat protectant up to 450°
• How to apply:
  • Rub in hands
  • Start at the ends
  • “Sandwich”/coat hair so both sides and mids-to-ends are covered
    • (Using too little = less effect)

2) Aveda Smooth Infusion-style Prep

• Use: two pumps
• How to apply:
  • Rub in hands
  • Start at the bottom
  • “Sandwich” through mids-to-ends

3) Aveda Confixor (light-hold styling gel)

• Use: a little more than a quarter size
• How to apply:
  • Rub thoroughly
  • Rake it through first
• Placement note: can be applied up to the top
  • Gel provides hold; described as mousse-like but more wet

Pre-Drying + Detangling Tips

Pre-dry / Volume Brush

• Denman D4

Detangling Tools

• Mason Pearson
  • Used before washing to detangle
  • Also used after washing to scrub the scalp and detangle again

Blow-dry Method

• Use blow dryer on damp hair immediately
• Use a concentrator nozzle
• Hair dries fast, especially postpartum “baby hairs”, so:
  • Smooth baby hairs at the part/roots right away
  • Avoid trying to “fix later” with more heat (can mean too much heat and worse results)

Speed Strategy

• Remove excess moisture from roots first
  • Air aimed at roots where water sits
• Ends dry faster naturally

---

Sectioning (To Move Quickly)

• Use Ergo alligator clips
• Create a “mohawk” section:
  1. Brow-to-brow across the forehead, then clip
  2. Ear-to-ear section, then clip
• Notes:
  • Often 1 clip per section is enough (depending on hair amount)
  • More hair may require 2–3 sections

Round Brush Blowout Technique (Across Brushes)

General Approach

• Work fast
• Lift at roots for volume
• Roll/twirl through ends for bounce

Biggest Round Brush First (Bottom Section)

• Dom Dom round brush (larger)
  • Pull hair down for tight hold
  • Air directed at the top/roots
  • Use “wiggles” to avoid frying / staying still too long
  • Then:
    • Spin + pull down to ends
    • Twirl/roll ends up
    • Heat, then take air off
    • Final spins for bouncy curliness

Brush Type Comparison: Boar Bristle

• Use a boar bristle version with the same technique
• Observed result:
  • It seemed to curl better / super curly
  • Also very fast

Front/Top Styling (Smaller Brush = More Curl)

Small Round Brush

• Ergo 43
  • Used for more curl
  • Smaller sections recommended; larger attempts can be “a nightmare”
  • Especially with more textured product like gel that has grit

Charity Note (Ergo Brush Color/Model)

• The pink Ergo brush is linked to funds going toward a breast-cancer-related organization
  • Specifically involving patients refusing treatment due to hair loss

Extra Top Control

• Twirl hair up over fingers and pin to keep it curlier while finishing the rest

Efficiency Tip (Bigger Brush for More Coverage)

• Switch to Ergo 53 to get through a large section faster
• Also twirl up and pin

---

Final Results + Key Takeaway

• Unpinned and finished with a quick blowout
• Outcome described as solid, especially given:
  • speed
  • using multiple brush sizes
• Encouragement:
  • Try the method at home
  • Experiment with different round brushes and keep the correct product layering
