Information on Roll Brushing Your Hair |
|
By Cassie Gibbons
With the recent graduation of my sister, Tracy, and my best friend, Lindsey, from Vidal Sassoon Academy, I have had hair on my mind for the past few weeks. The two constantly bug me that I need to throw out the roll brush and let my locks run free. To be honest I don't know what way to turn. I see the positives and the negatives of their argument. I have concluded the following:
Roll Brush: I love my roll brush. To be honest I don't know if I can part from such a wonderful tool. My hair, which I often refer to as my mink coat, is out of control. By roll brushing my hair I can maintain this outrageous mane. Without the use of a roll brush, my hair would be everywhere. A roll brush helps with smoothing out my hair and also helps with straightening it out. I would be lost without it. For others who use a roll brush, it also helps with volumizing the hair.
On the other hand of the roll brush quandary is damage. I have noticed that my hair is a bit on the damaged side. Tracy and Lindsey's argument is that roll brushes damage your hair more than the eye can see. They also argue that by using a roll brush, many are tempted to flip out the hair, and we all know that the Jennifer Aniston flip is out.
Natural: Using a regular brush to dry your hair is less damaging and can do just the trick (for those with thin and straight hair). All brushes can give the same effect - it just depends on how you use it. Using a brush can also be less time-consuming than a roll brush.
To be honest, I still can't decide. I really cannot see myself steering clear of my favorite brush, but on the other hand the oh-natural look is in and the Jennifer Aniston is out. I guess that is just up to your own preference. I do suggest trying both ways.
