Achieving the perfect blowout can be tricky, but with the right tools and simple tips, you can get salon-quality results at home. This post will show you how to create your dream blowout with minimal effort. So get ready to learn how to give yourself a salon-worthy blowout!
Step 1: Switch Your Shower Lineup
If you’re after bouncy hair, Step 1 of achieving the perfect blowout is to switch your shower lineup. Skip shampoos and conditioners that bill themselves as “volumizing” and go for products meant explicitly for curly or wavy hair. This way, you can cleanse your face before applying your makeup and have a freshly-applied look closer to the start of whatever is on your agenda. Try a Brazilian Blowout or smoothing product for curly and wavy hair types. CHI, Clarins, Bumble and Bumble, and Camille Rose are all great brands to try out.
Step 2: Start at the Lower Back of Your Head
Starting at the lower back of your head, take a section of hair about an inch wide and begin towel-drying it. After that, apply a smoothing serum to your palms and work it through the area of your hair. Next, invest in a good blow dryer and use a round brush attachment to brush your hair towards your face while continuing to blow dry. Next, brush it toward the back of your head for a pin-straight blowout. Next, dry your hair from the front to the back, using low or medium heat and medium air speed with the diffuser attachment. Before you start styling, ensure you remove 80 per cent of moisture from your hair. Once that’s done, section off the top of your crown and secure it with clips. The pull-and-roll technique is critical to achieving the perfect blowout, so use small units throughout your whole head and twist your hair with the brush as you pull it out. With these steps, you’ll be able to achieve a beautiful blowout look every time!
Step 3: Put a Small Amount of Smoothing Serum in Your Palms
After towel-drying your hair,
Step 3 for perfect breakouts is to apply a small amount of Smoothing Serum to your palms and rub in a circular motion. This Serum contains keratin and marula oil to help reduce frizz, detangle, add shine, soften hair and reduce frizz.. Once evenly distributed the product, you can apply it through the entire hair shaft in a gliding sweep. With this protein treatment, you’ll get smooth and shiny hair while also repairing dull and damaged hair.
Step 4: Invest in a Great Blow-Dryer
Investing in a suitable blow dryer is essential to achieving the perfect blowout. If you have the money, you should opt for a tool with features to reduce damage to your hair. Quality products can last longer and help protect your hair from unnecessary heat damage. Read customer reviews to ensure you’re investing in the best one for your needs.
Step 5: Towel Dry Hair
Towel dry your hair. After you’ve already wrung out the excess water, you can use your hair dryer to give your hair a quick blast of air. Place the nozzle ten inches away from your hair and starting from the roots, move slowly along the shaft of the hair (as opposed to against the grain). This helps to remove any remaining moisture and gives your hair extra body. Cotton or terry-cloth towels are not soft to the touch, so they’re not gentle enough for your hair. Instead, use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to blot your hair and absorb any remaining moisture. Skip the rub—press and blot your hair and scalp with a towel. This soaks up water from your hair and protects those delicate hair strands in the process. When you finish towel drying, let your hair air dry for a few minutes before styling.
Step 6: Apply Styling Product
After towel drying your hair, it’s time to apply styling products. First, rub the product through your palms in a circular motion, then use it through the entire hair shaft in a gliding sweep. This will help protect your hair from heat damage and add shine and gloss. Remember that your styling products won’t absorb well over knots and tangles, so using a detangler is essential as soon as you get out of the shower (and before you begin styling). Once you’ve applied the products, section your hair into four equal parts and start blow drying.
Step 7: Use a High-Quality Hair Tool
Once you have an excellent blow dryer, it’s time to tackle styling your hair. First, invest in a high-quality hair tool that won’t damage your locks. Next, you want something that will help you perfectly manipulate your hair without causing too much heat or friction. Finally, please read the instructions and know how to use them properly. This will help you get the best results with the least effort.
Step 8: Use the Round Brush Attachment
Use a round brush with your blow dryer to create soft and voluminous curls. When styling with a round brush, hold the meeting in one hand and the blow dryer in the other. As you move the brush through your hair, direct the heat from the blow dryer to ensure that every strand is dried evenly. Keep your hair taut while working with the round brush and blow-dryer, as this will ensure maximum volume and curl.
Step 9: Comb Through Hair with a Wide-Tooth Comb
After using the round brush attachment on your hair:
- Take a wide-tooth comb and gently comb through your hair. This will help smooth tangles and ensure the blowout looks even and polished.
- Be careful not to tug too hard on your hair while you comb, as this can cause breakage.
- Pay extra attention to the ends of your hair, as this is where the most damage can occur if you are careful.
Step 10: Don’t Fry Hair on Maximum Heat
The heat you use is also essential – avoiding extremes is best. Too hot can fry the hair, so it’s best to keep the temperature at a medium or low setting. Use a cool shot button at the end of your blow-dry to seal in style and give your hair extra shine. The result should be glossy, manageable, and full of volume.
