How to Blow Dry Your Hair Like a Pro
Follow these expert tips for the best at-home blow out ever

Getting a professional blow dry is like getting a shot of beauty adrenaline. The feeling you experience when you leave the salon is pure exhilaration. Nothing much has changed; your face is the same, and your weight is the same, but somehow you feel ten times more beautiful and infinitely more confident.
The bummer, of course, is that in this economy splurging on a pro blow dry every week is hardly practical and, sigh, doing it yourself never yields the same results … until now!
Determined to unlock the secrets of the salon blow out once and for all, we went to Mari Ring, senior stylist at the Maximus Salon in Hermosa Beach, Calif., who had to admit that her industry cohorts might be a tad peeved that she spilled some trade secrets.
So, what are you waiting for? Muster some confidence and learn to become the master of your own blow out. It will take practice, but in time, you'll never need to spend 60 bucks on a gorgeous 'do again.

I still don't know how a paddle brush helps to get sleek straight hair XP I'll still buy to brush my hair after I apply products to it. I heard using a comb too much can cause split ends :O

Loved the article BUT I agree with previous posters ... would have been hugely more effective to show a woman doing her OWN hair.

Great tips, but I'd rather see pics of someone drying her OWN hair, (that is what the story's about) not a stylist doing it.
