Blowout at Home!

Getting a salon quality blowout at home is a lot easier than you will think! I will give you all of my professional secrets to get your best look.

The best style won't last without a good shampoo. When shampooing your hair wash it once then rinse, and then wash it a second time. This will really help to remove any excess buildup or oils on the hair and scalp. When conditioning you only want to place conditioner the ends of your hair. Pull your hair into a ponytail and only put the conditioner on what hangs down. When you rinse your hair you want to rinse in the coldest water you can possibly stand. This will close your hair cuticle down and will make your hair shiny and smooth. When buying a shampoo try to find one that is clear in color. This will be the most cleansing, anything that is creamy will have conditioning properties to it and if you have oily hair you don't need the extra moisture. 

I personally like to let my hair air dry about 50% before I blowdry. I like to use a heat protector on my hair and also a root lifter. Dry your hair with just the blow dryer until it is about 90% dry then go in with a round brush. This will make it a lot easier on your arms if you dry it without a brush most of the way. 

Start in small sections from the bottom to the top of your head. Unless you have bangs, then dry them first. Start with the base and use small sections that fit onto the brush. Make sure you are blowing down on the hair shaft this will help reduce frizz, blowing upwards on the hair shaft will open the cuticle up and make your hair look frizzier than normal. Keep working your way up. When doing the sides of your hair you want to use the brush and blow away from your face so give some movement to your blowout. When you're drying the top sections you want to blow dry them straight up to give added volume. 

When you are finished use the cool setting on your blow dryer to cool down your hair and set the look. You can tease the crown area and use a little hairspray to help it hold. This will add lots of volume. Finish your look with a little hair serum to keep the ends smooth and frizz free. 

Your second and third day look can be kept looking fresh by using dry shampoo to soak up any oils and add volume back into the hair. You can also use dry shampoo on your ends to give a little piecey texture to your look.
