I wish they had recomended some hair-dryers by name. With so many out there it would be tough choosing one that has the right features with the right price tag. Loved the look, but also knew they were ads for a certain product. Would like to see other products mentioned.

I feel like some important things might have been edited out. For instance, what does he mean by "from the bottom up"? It looks to me like he's going from the roots down...or maybe the roots become "the bottom" when he has pulled it up & away from her head? also, what is a finishing creme? Any recommendations?
