I have fallen in love with a hair dryer and must shout it from the rooftops.
The Sedu 4000i. This powerful bad boy is the king of smooth. Take a look for yourself!
OMG. Please don’t dwell on that first photo as it was VERY EARLY in the morning. (The things I will do to spread the word about hair products, I swear.)
Armed with a round brush, your favorite heat protectant and the Sedu, you can whip that crazy hair into shape in minutes!
Start by combing your hair with a wide-toothed comb. (Mine is from Sephora.)
Add you favorite smoothing/heat protectant. On this particular day, I used Redken Satinwear Ultimate Blow Dry Lotion.
(Others I like are Kerastase Chroma Riche Leave-In Treatment, Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion, Matrix Sleek Look Sealing Serum, Sedu Moisturizing Heat Protecting Boost and my absolute very favorite on the entire planet, Kerastase Nectar Thermique. Which is an entire post in itself. Seriously, it is worth EVERY PENNY.)
Work the product through your hair.
Oh, wait. For those of you with sideswept bangs, go ahead and knock those out by drying them in the OPPOSITE direction of how you want them to lay. Seems counterintuitive, but it works! See?
Okay. Separate your hair into sections.
Start drying away!
Remember to keep the dryer nozzle pointed downwards towards the hair shaft as you pull your round brush slowly through the length of the hair.
Keep drying all of the sections until your face is dripping with sweat and you feel like dying.
When dry, add a dab of shine-enhancing product. (Favorites are Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream and Moroccan Oil. Be careful with the Moroccan Oil, as you might want to take a swig after smelling the heavenly scent.)
Work the product through the mid-length of your hair to the ends. Touch up with a flat iron if necessary, and voilá!
Smooth and straight, baby.

August 25, 2009 at 6:48 amMy hair dryer just bit the dust so I am stuck using my cruddy travel one until I get around to buying a new one. This would be perfect!

August 25, 2009 at 6:52 amSeriously? If you saw my current hair dryer you would immediately walk out of my bathroom, down the stairs and out of my house. Wouldn’t matter if I had a tray full of sushi or chocolate cake to convince you to stay–the hair dryer is that ghetto.
If I don’t win (which I really hope I do) this is going on the to buy list.
