Pro Tips for Salon-Quality Hair: Mastering the Blowout at Home
Tired of spending time and money at the salon just to achieve that perfect blowout?
Bid farewell to salon woes and master the art of the blow out in the comfort of your own home, with our comprehensive guide. With insider tips and transformative product recommendations, achieving flawless hair has never been easier.
Step 1: Start with Clean, Prepped Hair
Before diving into styling, ensure your hair is clean and ready for the blowout process. Treat yourself to the luxurious Davines OI Shampoo £22.75 and Conditioner £23.75. This Italian brand's innovative formulas are crafted with natural ingredients to gently cleanse and nourish your hair, leaving it silky-smooth and full of body.
Step 2: Protect and Prime with Heat Protectant
Shield your strands from heat damage by applying a heat protectant spray or serum. We love Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother £26 for its lightweight formula that protects, smooths, and strengthens hair, leaving it silky and frizz-free.
Step 3: Section and Conquer
Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. Start from the bottom and work your way up, ensuring each section is thoroughly dried and styled before moving on to the next. For a secure grip and precise division, opt for high-quality clips like the Drybar Hold Me Hair Clips £15.
Step 4: Choose the Right Tools
Invest in a high-quality blow dryer with multiple heat and speed settings for maximum control. We recommend the Buttercup Blow Dryer from Drybar £139, designed to cut down drying time while imparting a smooth, frizz-free finish.
Step 5: Blow-Dry Like a Pro
Begin by rough-drying your hair until it's about 70-80% dry, using your fingers to tousle and lift the roots for added volume. Then, switch to your round brush, working in small sections to smooth and shape your hair as you blow-dry.
Step 6: Add Volume and Texture
For extra volume and texture, incorporate a volumising mousse or styling spray into your routine. Living Proof Full Volume and Root Lift Spray £27 is a game-changer, adding body and lift without weighing hair down.
Step 7: Set and Seal with a Finishing Product
Once your blowout is complete, lock in your style with a finishing product that adds shine and control. Virtue's Perfect Ending Split End Serum £40 is infused with nourishing ingredients to repair and protect hair while delivering a glossy, polished finish.
Step 8: Spritz and Slay
Complete your salon-style blowout with a light mist of hair spray to hold your style in place without stiffness or crunchiness. Davines This Is A Medium Hairspray £23.25 provides flexible hold and humidity resistance for all-day gorgeousness.
