I’ve always dried my short hair using a brush and a hairdryer just to give it a bit of a lift. What do others find really useful? There are so many on offer at the moment.

For me me short very fine straight pixie, I’m best with morning hair wash towel dry and then brush through mousse pretty much right back away from face and fringe turned under. It drys naturally like this while I’m pottering around dressing, breakfasting and soothing out for the day. This seems to give me enough body for the day so long as I don’t touch it until it’s completely dry. Then I brush agin into a bit of shape.

Fine hair, short pixie cut. Rub with a towel then use hair dryer and a round brush. Takes around 3 minutes!

I’m evidently getting a hot brush for Christmas. Seems DH was listening to me grumping about my hair. He’s promised me he ordered one that is recommended for short hair.

I have very fine hair, I had always wanted curls so it’s permed and I love it! I can wash and go, no need for products or faffing anymore after years of having to wash and style it every day or it just looked lank and sad.
I don’t think DH likes it but quite frankly I do so his views don’t matter!

A hot brush is an invaluable piece of hair equipment, I wouldn't be without mine, where I go so does the brush. I have a jaw length graduated bob fairly easy to maintain with the help of the aforementioned brush.
