Blowdrying hair for volume?

I like my hair to be straight, but at the same time I want volume. Especially at my roots. At the salon, they make my hair look gorgeous, full and bouncy at the top.

My hair dresser told me to use a large round brush and some volumizing foam and blow dry my hair in sections to achieve this. But here's the thing-- I am completely awkward at blowdrying my hair this way. I always seem to have hair all over the place and the brush caught it my hair. I'm awful at it. I typically just flip it over, dry it fast, and then straighten the parts that didn't straighten by blowdrying. That doesn't give me the look I want, though.
