Section Inspection

One challenge most clients face is properly recreating their style at home once they leave the salon. Help them out by doing a little section inspection to see how they section their hair when blow drying, says Sam Villa. For clients that need help, give a tutorial and they’ll be thrilled! “Sectioning provides more control of the brush, tension, heat, airflow and direction, and proper sectioning will change the way clients style their hair forever,” Sam explains. Here are his top sectioning tips:

1. Divide the head into four quadrants and section out each
quadrant; start at the nape of the neck and work your way up.
2. Use proper sectioning clips to isolate and control each section, and never take a section that’s wider than your brush.
3. Section depth should be about 1 to 1½-inches depending on density.
4. Hold the brush in your writing hand and the blow dryer in the other hand about a ½-inch apart.
5. Position the blow dryer parallel to the brush; NEVER put the nozzle directly on the brush, it will burn the blow dryer motor out, damage brush bristles and burn hair.
