Be bold and DIY your way to a pro look with the help of top Brisbane hair stylist, Hong Lee. Lee reveals her best-ever styling tips with at home devices. No salon experience required! Before long, you will be carrying the confidence that comes with great hair all day, every day. And the best part, you will be able to do it all from the comfort of your own home.
For More Volume
Say goodbye to flat hair forever… sounds good to me. Hong says “applying a volumizing mousse to roots and then blow-drying hair in an upward direction will create volume. Take sections of hair the same size, width and thickness as a round brush. Curl each section around your brush as you dry in an upward motion, and then pin the hair in the round shape so that it has time to cool down. Once the heat has escaped, the hair will hold its shape and bounce.” Achieve the voluminous hair of your dreams with VS Sassoon Hydro Smooth Fast Dryer Hairdryer, an essential tool for those on the go. Easily fitting in your office drawer or gym bag, you will never need to worry about flat hair ruining your day again.
For Super Shine
Want glossy, healthy looking hair? Who doesn’t! To get that flawless, refined look Hong suggests finishing your blow dry “with a burst of cold air to help seal and smooth the hair follicle for greater shine. I also love finishing with a shine spray or a bit of oil at the ends - just avoid the roots as this will make the hair drop.” These small tips can make a huge difference, giving a luscious and luminous finish. Avoiding extreme heat will keep your hair healthier for longer, the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is a great option for those wanting fast and precise drying whilst skipping the heat. So, opt for some cold hair and health prompting products such as a spray or oil for shiny and glowing results.

For Sleek Lengths
Is getting smooth, straight hair a mystery to you? Hong says “the secret to straight, shiny hair is to start with a thermal protection spray, to protect hair follicles. Then, blow dry until the hair is 80% dry before using straightening irons. Using a straightener on wet hair will draw out much-needed moisture and vitamins, causing dryness, breakage and split ends. You don’t want that!” Get that silky look with the Remington Pro Ceramic Max or the Dyson Corrale Straightener Copper/ Nickel and create that effortless and sleek finish.
For Perfect Curls
Those perfect locks are just one device away - Hong says “this is a job for a curling device. Take bigger sections of hair for looser waves and smaller sections for more defined, tighter curls. Don’t brush your curls out right after curling when your hair is still hot. Wait a minute or two, then lightly brush to avoid curls dropping.” This is a top trending look, that is going to continue to grow, “the 1970s are back! It’s all about curtain bangs with curls flicking away from the face. Think Farrah Fawcett but less wavy,” says Hong. Get those 70s curls with the VS Sassoon Frizz Defence Rotating Hot Air Styler, an all-in-one brush and hairdryer to give you the look in no time and with ease.
So whether you want to get the look of your dreams or the flexibility to switch up your hairstyle whenever you please, get that pro-look time and time again through the use of the right tools and techniques. From voluminous curls to sleek and straight, Hong Lee’s tips will help equip you for all the looks you could ever want.
