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

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?

I have one of these.
It's not that one but it's similar (I have a Charles Worthington one that I've had for years) and I think it's brilliant. It leaves one hand free. I can't use a hair dryer and a brush on myself as my left arm is very lazy and I end up clobbering myself in the head with the hair dryer.

I haven't tried a BBH as I have long hair and someone on MN said that they weren't great for long hair.

I have shoulder length hair. I love my BBH, it gives it bounce, volume and style. If it broke I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Thank you Whatfun will go and have a look at them

alp yes, in dry hair. I normally blast my hair upside down to get volume in the roots until it is about 90% dry and then whack in the rollers.

It's worth getting a decent heat protector though. Although heated rollers aren't as damaging as straighteners etc.

I have a bbh and heated rollers. Bbh great for when I've got a bit more time as my hair is very thick and pretty long now so it takes a while.

Heated rollers are great plug them in when I get up and by the time I'm washed and dressed they are ready to go in while I do my make up.

I just can't blowdry with a brush my hands don't work properly.
