In our daily lives of rush-hour hustle and bustle, who really does have the time to go and spend hours at a salon to prep something as consequential as your hair? But just because life isn’t perfect that shouldn’t mean that your hair can’t be perfect! And what better way to style your hair into either a sleek bob or a curly afro than to use a hot air brush? Here are 5 important tips to use your hot air brush to give you instant salon-styled hair at home without any hassle:
- Heat Them Up
No matter how late you are for work, do not let your hair come in contact with the hot air brush right after it has been plugged in.
