4. Start by blow drying the very front of the hair. You'll notice the front tends to be curlier than the back, so grab a small round brush (1/2 inch) to smooth out the hair line.

Pro tip: Put the brush on top of the hair rather than under it to achieve an ultra smooth look.

5. Use a 3-inch brush to blow dry the rest of the hair.

Pro tip: When it comes to the back, you'll want to put the brush under the hair to get more lift at the root.

6. Grab a flat iron, but only focus on the hairline.
