Of course, my vanity demands you talk about a subject nearer and dearer to me than y'alls, but have at it anyway.

[Poll #1044566]

I forgot how bad bed head with short-short hair looks. I found out this morning. I also realize that it will never look so good as when I got it cut. I need to pay more attention next time and figure out how the lady cutting it used the round brush to make it curl inwards. It has instead curled outwards, making me look even more like my second Simpsons avatar. Which would be fine if both sides of my head agreed to the one hairstyle. But they won't. Alas.

Well, since it flipped out only at the end and was otherwise sort of flat on my head, it was like kinda a less-greased-down Trinity hair. So, it made me look older and more serious but the flip was so perfect it looked cute.

I know the theory of how they do it, I've just never succeeded in doing it myself.

Essentially, you're doing a heated hair curler, but in reverse. You have a rounded brush the diameter of the curl you want, usually that's a bit heat conductive. You have the dryer on hot, you wrap the hair around the brush and put tension on it, and then you heat-dry the hair. It's the same priniciple as a curling iron, but with the heat applied to the outside instead of the inside.

But I've never been able to do it myself. My elbows don't bend that way. Also, my hair takes 20 minutes to blow dry, and I don't have that kind of patience.

Mine now takes about five minutes to blow dry, which is awesome. But you're right. There's no way to do it with just the one set of arms. You need someone assisting, methinks. Also, I need to get like an attachment for the hair drier that focuses the air to do that more successfully. Or I could try curlers/curling iron.

This is exactly right and I have never ever had the patience to do it, or the bendability.

I know there are people who have managed to learn to do this themselves. Just not me, I'm afraid.
