"Hi, I am Theresa and I am here to show Rena on how to use a hair dryer. She wants to know how to get the most volume out of her hair if she didn't have a dry at home. But now I am going to show her how she can get volume with a hair dryer. Rena, this is dryer and at home you can use the dryer two different ways; one without the nozzle and with the nozzle. The benefits of having a nozzle on your dryer is that you get the air flow all going in one direction, which can give you the maximum volume in your hair. So if you want to go ahead and flip your head upside down, we will go a head start drying your hair. And notice while I have the nozzle on, I am using my hand to move the hair forward. And the air is going right exactly where I want it to go. And you want to shake it all and dry it. Go ahead and flip you head over and you can continue drying and using the nozzle on the end to give you that volume. Again, this is a hair dryer and you can use it with or without the nozzle. Being that you don't have the nozzle if you want to hurry up and dry it really fast, you can use it without the nozzle. It also has a cold shot. So when you have the nozzle on and you want to kind of have your hair set in one place, you can use the cold shot. Most dryers do have one. And you just put it on, what till the air gets cool and shoot it in that same direction and it kind of sets your hair after that."
