Janis----do the Butterfly next and post TWO pics---one of the 'do and one of the don't!!!!! GUFFFFFFFFAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Thank Goodness you still have your sense of humour, if not your hair! I'm sure it looks darlin' and the curls give you that girlish look, right? Hey----I tried a noooo---I mean new, 'do last Fall with some chick who was 'sposed to be so good---she's in the downtown section of our town, which is being 'revitalized', and that means it's really still deader than 4 o'clock! She kept talking about the local stylists who trained at the nearby school of cosmotology and how simple they were---putting out cookie cutter haircuts---well, SHE studied in BOSTON----MIT, maybe? Snort!!! Anyhow, by the time I walked out of there, she had charged me double because she had to do the color over since it was slightly purple red---just off a wee bit from the Ash Blonde I'd pointed to in the book, I had whole chunk-hunks cut out of the 15 hairs on my head, and the color was now an orange-pink. All I gotta say is, if I ever come across another hairdresser from the Boston School of Cosmotology, I'm runnin' for my life! ---it took 5 months to get right after looking at a weird stranger in the mirror each morning!

This is how I have mine cut (see 2nd angle)...not sure if that's what you're looking for, but maybe you can get some good ideas. http://www.hairstylesdesign.com/gallery/medium_hairstyles_037.php

I bought a Conair, probably at Target. It has 1,000 watts. I use mine with dry hair in the am. You can detach the brush part and use as a hair dryer but it's not very strong. I usually flip my head down and use hair spray. Then I flip my head back and do the hot air brush in sections. Then spray again when done. I'm not one who likes to spend a lot of time on hair and makeup. I do my hair in just a few minutes. It doesn't look like I just came from the salon but it looks fine....just wish I could get and keep a little height at the crown. Mtn....thanks for sharing your brush. Looks like it might be easier to use than mine since the brush part is not so wide. I may give it a try.
