Usually a technique used for clients with curly hair or to achieve a more natural or broken feel. The hair is held lightly between the fingers and the end of the hair is dried with a hand drier. On shorter hair the drier is used in a directional method using the tips of the fingers to help break up and angle the hair. A diffuser may be used and the ends of the hair are laid in the base of the diffuser or held close to the head.
