I always used to get the brushes stuck. But I learned to start at the top front and work backwards. When you dry the hair make sure it's almost dry first. Then put the brush towards the root and wrap the hair around the brush (so there is a straight bit left out). Work the brush back and forth with heat and get a bend at top of hair. Then work a bit further down and then again on ends and only roll brush half way up on each bit you are working on. Then eventually roll that section up with fingers and pin and onto next section. Work front to nape like winding a perm. Then top sides and down. It's the same set look as leaving brushes in. For me this is quicker, easier and no brushes or hair gets hurt in the process
