How do you use round brushes?

I've been using a round brush and blowdryer to style my hair for about 7 years. For shoulder-length and longer, get a large brush. It will smooth and add volume. Practice makes perfect. I dry my hair about 3/4ths of the way dry while flipping my hair upside-down, then I flip it over and use the round brush on my hair to style while drying it the rest of the way.  You will have to experiment, I've had my share of lumps and bumps now, but I've found the technique that works for me.

I forgot to add:  I like the metal core, and recently discovered that you can get a brush with a metal core, and boar brush bristles mixed in with plastic-tipped bristles. These brushes are awesome! I found mine at walmart.

I bought a small one once at a dollar store just to see what it would do for me.  I use it every once in a while, but still not sure if I'm using it right.  Basically I just lift the hair up on it and point the blow dryer across the top of the brush while turning the brush around slowly.  I have to be careful with it or it'll make a weird "bump" in my hair :-P .
