Style with heat
Check the exact tool, starting state and temperature scope before choosing.
Choose your starting point
Match the guide to your appliance: flat iron, curling wand, hot-air brush, heated straightening brush or airflow-wrap styler. Their starting states, contact and release methods differ. The round-brush guide remains an unheated cool/cold finishing pass on mostly dry hair. Follow your exact appliance manual and each guide’s limits.

Blow-dry curly or coily hair smooth with a comb attachment
Comb-attachment blow-drying uses a dryer-mounted comb or pik to hold and smooth a section while airflow dries it.
Blow-dry with a round brush
A manual-confirmed unheated cool-air round-brush pass guides one mostly dry section straight toward the ends without winding hair around the barrel.
Curl dry hair with a curling iron
A curling iron shapes dry hair around a heated barrel to form temporary curls.
Curl with an airflow-wrap styler
Airflow-wrap curling uses directed air to take the ends of one damp section around a compatible barrel and dry it into a temporary curl.
Set volume with self-gripping rollers on dry hair
A dry self-gripping roller set holds lifted sections around rollers while the hair cools and settles.
Straighten dry hair with a flat iron
Flat ironing uses heated plates to temporarily straighten sections of dry hair.
Straighten with a heated straightening brush
A heated straightening brush combines heated plates or bristles with a brushing pass through dry hair.
Style with a hot-air brush
A hot-air brush combines airflow and bristles to dry and shape hair with one handheld tool.
