Are there actually classes you can go it, to learn to blow dry your hair?

[Hedgehead]

I get my hair blow dried once in a blue moon, but when I do, I really like it. The stylist doesn't do much, just uses a round brush and heat to give it a bit of a wave. Do I have to go to a salon every time I want this or is there actually somewhere I could learn how to do it?

Oh I would love this. I can blow dry and straighten my hair only on the left hand side of my head, the rest looks rubbish as I'm so right handed and can't twist my hand the way I seem to need to in order for it to look even

I would love this too! And other things like how to do a nice bun without looking like Miss Trunchbull. And how to do liquid eyeliner without looking like i did it with my toes :-(

I'd sign up if there is. I spend a small fortune on blow-dry's. No matter what I try it never looks anything like a professional job.

I have a parlux, used posh shampoo's, loads of products, nothing has made a difference. Am bloody fed up with it as it happens

Have you tried YouTube?

I want a class to teach me how to French plait DD's hair.

My lovely hairdresser taught me to do my own. Said he was sick of watching me walk past the salon on the way to work with his haircut looking a mess!

It took ages to start with, but now I'm pretty quick and it looks 80% as good as a salon one.

You tube will help. Although I have never masteted straitener curls even after wayching again and again.

There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube, I think.

I'm the opposite. I can't stand how hairdressers blow dry my hair. I'd rather they didn't do it and I go home and do it myself. They always seem to focus on straightening it and curling it under and they leave it flat on top . My hair is already poker straight and I want body and bounce to it!

I did a 10 week hair styling course in the evenings but we had to take a model to do. I took my DSis and I can blowdry her hair straight, curly, pin it up, curl it - you name it. A curly blow on her looks amazing. But can I do my own hair? Not a chance .

My salon does blow dry classes and easy hair ups. Haven't been yet but I need it !

I thought aveda salons give classes? Although... I don't think you'll ever be quite as good as the salon as its do much easier to work on someone else!

breathe I can teach you a French plait. But I can only do them if I close my eyes. I learned to do them on my own hair, and it confuses me if I can see what I'm doing.

Second Youtube. Or even quicker, heated rollers.

I whack them in, do the rest of my make up and have instant sleek, Middleton-esque hair!

Babyliss big hair or similar is fairly foolproof. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/1947969-babyliss-big-hair-omfg

Business idea?!

I guess you could just ask your hairdresser...

My hairdresser explains how I can store my hair like she does it (and does it differently each time). Just tell yours, I'm sure she'll be happy to talk you through it and sell you expensive products on commission

Which heated rollers do you use please?

watching for rollers recommendations

I use Enrapture heated rollers. There's 20 rollers of different sizes, the heat up in 1 min, takes me about 10 mins to put in place (I have long, thick hair) and just leave to cool down.

I second the Babyliss Big hair - it's fab.

Do you put the rollers in dry hair?

I am remarkably thick at this sort of thing.

I'll third the BBH, just got one and it's been a revelation

Babyliss big hair is amazing. I can dry my hair myself for the first time in nearly 40 years!!

Yep BBH. it's a hairdryer and round brush in one. Although you can't dry from very wet, I let mine air dry while I sort my face out.

For the BBH do you need long hair? Mine's not that long (top of the shoulders) I would love hair that looked like I had been to the salon everyday (wishful emotion)
