I used to get my hair cut for free at Bumble and Bumble. If they couldn't accommodate me for whatever reason, they would compensate by giving me free products. So I have the thickening spray and hair lotion and together, they make for a fabulous blowdry. But I couldn't afford them both if I actually had to pay! I really like Aveda's products. They're better than drugstore brands, but not as pricey as B&B.
Sarah, blowdrying the fuzzies out requires tension. You need a large round brush or a paddle brush to hold your hair straight and smooth as you blowdry. A concentrator nozzle helps too. I can't really explain well online how to do it, but your stylist will show you.
