Hi! My name is Lauren and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to discuss short straight hairstyles. The first thing that you're going to want to think about is the actual tools that you're going to use when blowing out your hair. Of course, you're going to need your ever trusty blow dryer. That is a given. Then you're going to decide what brush you want to use. Brushes come in all different diameters and shapes. You can get your triangular shape, and also your rounded. In order to get your hair straight, you're going to want to choose a brush that is right for you. With Heather's hair, something like this actually going to be way too big because her hair is shorter and not long enough to really manipulate. With longer hair, this could actually workout nicely. Heather also has a lot of lighters in her hair. There are different pieces, so if you pull her hair out, each piece has a bit of a different length. This bottom section, which is pretty much her general length, is the longest of her hair. I would suggest using a diameter about this size in order to go through the hair in the bottom. It will give you a nice flip under or a nice flip out. Plus, it will be easy for you to use. Due to her layers, she will need to use a different size, a smaller size diameter on the top. Otherwise, it just won't do the job as well. She's going to want to choose something that she'll actually be able to get to roll her hair with. At least, one and a half times. Something that will work on your hair and will actually be able to transform your curl. If your brush is too big, you will not get the curl on your ends that you're looking for.
