Alan Truman Oh So Gold Ceramic Blow Dryer Brush for big bouncy voluminous blowouts at home

What is the Alan Truman Brush?
The Blow Brush is a versatile blow-styling tool, combining a blow-drying brush and hair dryer into one. The barrel of this brush is coated with anti-frizz gold ceramic coating to reduce heat-induced static and frizz.

What problem does it solve?
Imagine trying to blow-dry your hair with a large hair dryer in one hand and a blow-drying brush in the other. Unless you've had years of practice or professional training, achieving a smooth blow-dry is almost impossible each time. 

The Blow Brush combines a hair dryer with a blow-drying brush, making blow-drying and styling as easy as brushing or straightening your hair. It takes the hassle out of the entire process of blow-drying and blow-styling.

How do I use the Blow Brush?

Use on Wet Hair:

1. Towel-dry your hair to remove excess water and moisture.
2. Section your hair, clipping the unused sections on the crown.
3. Apply a high-quality heat protectant or a leave-in oil like L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil.
4. Take flat, 3-inch wide sections, place the brush beneath the sections, and blow-style with optimal tension.
5. Repeat as necessary, positioning the brush above or below the hair section until you achieve a smooth, shiny blow-dried effect.
6. Maintain optimal blow-styling tension at all times for the best results and to avoid over-styling the same section.
   

After completing the entire head:
Take larger, thicker sections of hair, hold the brush beneath these sections, and twist and turn slightly at high heat for a big blowout effect.

Use on Dry Hair:

1. Spray a heat protectant across all sections of hair.
2. Run your fingers through your hair to evenly distribute the product.
3. Section your hair, tucking unused hair at the crown.
4. Take flat, 3-inch wide sections, place the brush beneath the sections, and blow-style with optimal tension.
5. Repeat as necessary, positioning the brush above or below the hair section until you achieve a smooth, shiny blow-dried effect.
6. Maintain optimal blow-styling tension at all times for the best results and to avoid over-styling the same section.

Use on old, unwashed hair with oily roots:

1. Spray a heat protectant across all sections of hair.
2. Run your fingers through your hair to evenly distribute the product.
3. Apply dry shampoo at the roots.
4. Section your hair, tucking unused hair at the crown.
5. Take flat, 3-inch wide sections, place the brush beneath the sections, and blow-style with optimal tension.
6. Start near the roots to address excess sebum and add volume to flat hair.
7. Repeat as necessary, positioning the brush above or below the hair section until you achieve a smooth, shiny blow-dried effect.
8. Maintain optimal blow-styling tension at all times for the best results and to avoid over-styling the same section.

For a salon-like blowout, give dry hair a slight twist and turn at high heat to create loose, voluminous waves.

How does it make my life easy?

• No stress single hand blow styling
• Saves you a lot of time so that you can catch that extra 10 mins of nap every morning before work
• Gets it right every time unlike the brush and dryer combination which depends a lot on your technique and mood at any point in time.
• Healthy styling:
  • Lesser stress and strain on hair
  • Styling with hot air vs direct heat transfer

Time comparison:

Vs Hair dryer and blow-drying brush combo
100% time saving. A typical blow-drying session using the conventional method needs about 30-40 mins for a full head of hair when self-styles. The Big Blow Set does it in about 10-15 mins only.

Vs a hair straightener
150% time saving. A full head hair straightening needs about 45-50 mins for straightening section by section. The Big Blow Set does it in less than half the time, in about 15 mins.

Healthy heat styling
The Big Blow Set uses less stress and strain on hair as compared to a blow-dryer and blow-drying brush for a single thorough blow-drying session. This helps prevent hair-fall caused due to frequent and careless styling. The Big Blow Set styles using hot air instead of direct heat. This helps prevent heat-induced dullness, dryness and damage due to frequent styling.

FAQs:
Is it to be used on wet or dry hair?
The Big Blow Set can be used on both wet and dry hair. Just ensure that you towel-dab your hair to prevent dripping water from damaging the electrical components.

What effect does it give on wet hair?
You can go from wet to dry just like using a hair dryer and blow-drying brush. During the blow-drying process, you can style your hair into relaxed straight styles, soft curls, soft waves, or defined waves using the different attachments included with the Big Blow Set.

What effect does it give on dry hair?
It refreshes your hair with a quick, voluminous blowout. It adds volume at the roots if you have flat hair and helps you refresh a blowout from the previous day, resulting in a big, bombshell blowout.

Is it a hair straightener?
No, it is not a hair straightener. However, during the blow-styling process, you can achieve relaxed straight or poker-straight hair, depending on your hair type. For long-lasting poker-straight hair, you should use a hair straightener that clamps the hair between hot plates to make it straight.

Is it a hair curler?
No, it is not a hair curler. However, during the blow-styling process, you can achieve soft curls and waves. For long-lasting, defined, tight curls, you should use a hair curler that wraps hair around a hot rod and curls with the help of direct heat.

How long will the blow-style effect last?
The longevity of any hairstyle depends on several factors:

• Pre and post-conditioning: Dry hair benefits from a light leave-in oil. A good hold product after complex styling helps retain the style.
• Hair health: Healthier hair holds styles longer.
• Technique: While you don’t need to be a pro, mastering basic styling techniques is essential.
• Humidity: High humidity can cause curls to fall flat and make straight hair frizzy quickly.
  

Why does the blow-style not last on my hair?
Start by keeping the blow brush beneath your hair. Alternate the brush’s position above and below the sections. Use optimal blow-styling tension.

What is optimal blow-styling tension?
Whether blow-styling or straightening, you need to apply a certain amount of pull on the hair to make it taut. This pull is the tension required for effective styling. Excessive tension can damage the hair cuticle over time, while insufficient tension leads to short-lived styles and frustration.

I am seeing a lot of hair in the brush, is the brush causing and increasing a lot of my hair to fall?
The Big Blow Set has a combination of dense nylon bristles and long ball-tip-quill bristles. It’s natural for you to loose hair each single day. Every hair that your head sheds gets collected in these bristles. Hence you are just seeing all your hair collected at one place – on the barrel of the brush. The brush is not causing the hair fall.

How to clean the brush?
Keep all sharp and pointed objects away from the barrel and body of the brush.

Brush away dirt dust and grime from the filter of the brush. Run it on full cold air setting for about 30 seconds. This will clean the filter of the brush.

Use a toothbrush to brush out all loose and stray hair from the barrel of the brush. Use hot-water-dipped damp paper-napkin or a towel to wipe away the dirt and dust from the barrel of the brush. Run it for 30 seconds on full blast mode with cold air and let it dry before storage.

How to store my Blow Brush?
Always store the Blow Brush on the cool tip. Do not store it in moist and damp places. Do not expose it to external heat and sunlight. Protect the power cord from all sharp and pointed objects.
