Do you understarn what this "twirl" technique could be about?

The images show a good result, but they don´t explain the secret...

^It looks like they blow-dried with a very small round brush and really concentrated on the ends. I'm guessing the twirl technique is kind of like that but they try to wrap chunks of hair around fingers (because that lady has short hair and fingers are the smallest hair tools I can think of).

so im no blow drying wizard by any means but i've picked up a few little tricks-
i part my hair down the middle, and pin both sections of the top layers of hair up... then i blow dry until the lower layer is dry- i use a paddle brush and kind of brush it around...
then i pull the top layer down and swish it all to one side- like a crazy side part, and dry like that, then push that top layer all forward dry for a bit, push it to the other side and its just about dry... that way the hair gets more body from multiple directions...
i smooth out a few face framing layers with my hair iron and then put a bumble and bumble product on the ends to give it a more pieces slept in look... hope this helps a few people!

thats very similar to how my hair stylist does it

I'm horrible at blow drying. Whenever I get a hair-cut, the stylist blow drys my hair in 20 minutes and leaves my hair all fun and bouncy but when I try to do it all I get is dry frazzled hair. I always closely observe the stylist when she's blowdry's my hair but no matter what I try I can't even get close to the results. Maybe it's the product...

^ that was the same for me. my hairdresser does use Bumble & Bumble leave in conditioners on me but i think the problem really was my sh*tty hand me down hair dryer from my sister. i bought a new cheapo one that works fine and now its all good!

when i blow dry i focus on the middle of the hair. i avoid ends because i dont want to get split ends and avoid the top because i hate it when my baby hairs come out to play and i dont even have much! i never see them unless i actually blow dry on those rare occasions. air drying is the best for me since my hair is straight and very managable, i dont get flyaways normally.

^ I love that stuff too! bought it on a whim when I was in the drugstore one day
I am useless with a blowdryer so what I found that works for me to get that effortless volume bouncy hair is to use a blow dryer until my hair is almost dry and then to put some of those super cheap velcro rollers in, spray lightly with hair spray and then after I'm done my makeup take them out and use a smoothing brush and run it through my hair. It's the only way I can get that Victoria's Secret hair :P

Bumble & Bumble products are great but I have never used their leave in conditioners. I am thinking of giving it a try since I have blow-drying my hair and it has been quite dry lately.
