I want to be Jennifer Aniston. And, NO, not because she has a house cool enough to be this month's Architectural Digest cover story, a kickass body, and intimate knowledge of Brad, Bradley and John.

I want to be Jennifer Aniston because she has hair people.

That's right. Jennifer Aniston probably never, ever, ever has to blow out her own hair. Don't forget, beneath those stick-straight strands of the A list uber celeb we know today, lies the wavy frizz of Rachel Green circa 1995. Girlfriend's got curl. But she's also got peeps to tame it.

But I'm not bitter. Anymore. Wanna know why? I just learned some of the best-kept How to Blow Dry "your hair like a pro" secrets and, guess what, I'm gonna share.

That's the kind of friend I am.

Step 1:

Turns out, getting a great blow out is as much about the tools you use as how you use them. Let's start with the dryer.

Mari Ring, from the Maximus Salon in Hermosa Beach, CA says that you don't have to spend a lot to get a great blow dryer, you just need to know what features, like wattage and weight, are important. Get that scoop here.

Step 2:

Moving on to the brush.

The shape of brush you choose will play a major part in the end result. Again, you don't have to spend a million bucks to look great -- just know what will work for your needs. "If you're going for volume and curl," says Ring, "it is best to use a round brush with a barrel anywhere from 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inches depending on the size of the curl you're after.

Want to go stick straight? See what shape of brush is recommended -- you might be surprised.

Step 3

Did you know that you need to dry your hair a little before applying styling products or they'll just slip right off? I had no clue.

If you have curly or wavy hair that you're blowing straight, use a straightening serum like the one Ring swears by, Enjoy Straightener, $15.99. If you're after softness and shine, try Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream, $30. "It's super-trendy at the moment but for good reason," Ring says. "It conditions the hair, eliminates frizz and isn't tested on animals!"
