Why this worksA blowout works by using heat and styling tools to create volume and smoothness in your hair. When done correctly, it can last for days, giving you that fresh-from-the-salon look. The right products and techniques can make all the difference in achieving a polished finish.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, damp hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your strands from heat damage while enhancing shine.
  2. Section Your Hair Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Working with smaller sections helps ensure even drying and styling, making it easier to achieve the desired volume and shape.
  3. Use a Round Brush Take a section of hair and wrap it around a round brush. Use a blow dryer with a nozzle attachment to direct heat at the roots while gently pulling the brush down to create smoothness and volume.
  4. Cool Down for Hold Once a section is dry, switch to a cool setting on your dryer for a few seconds to set the style. This helps lock in the shape and adds extra shine.
  5. Finish with Hairspray Once all sections are styled, lightly mist your hair with a flexible hold hairspray to keep your blowout in place without making it stiff.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the heat protectant, which can lead to damage over time. Others use too much product, weighing hair down and making it greasy. Not allowing the hair to cool after styling can also result in a blowout that falls flat too quickly.

The pro moveFor extra volume, try flipping your head upside down while blow-drying the roots.
