How toPrep Your Hair for a Blowout
If you’re looking to achieve a salon-worthy blowout at home, there are a few things you can do to prep your hair beforehand. First, make sure your hair is clean and free of any product build-up. Towel-dry your hair until it’s only slightly damp, then add a heat protectant serum or cream throughout your strands.
Divide your hair into sections and begin blow drying each section using a round brush. For extra volume, lift the roots of your hair as you dry. Once each section is dry, use a flat iron to smooth out any remaining frizziness. Finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep your blowout in place all day long!
The Blowout Process
First, you’ll want to start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is particularly dirty or oily, you may want to shampoo it first. Once your hair is clean and dry, you’ll need to section it off. Start by dividing the front half of your hair from the back half. Then, divide the back half into two sections (left and right). You should now have four sections of hair.
Next, you’ll need to choose a brush and a blow-dryer. For best results, use a round brush with boar bristles. Boar bristles help to distribute your hair’s natural oils evenly throughout your strands, which will help to protect your hair from heat damage. When choosing a blow-dryer, look for one that has multiple heat settings and a cool shot button.
Now that you have everything you need, it’s time to start blow-drying! Begin by working on one section at a time. Starting at the roots, use your brush to lift the section of hair up and away from your head. As you do this, aim the blow-dryer down toward the ends of your hair. Be sure to keep the blow-dryer moving so that it doesn’t get too hot in one spot. Once each section is completely dry, move on to the next one until all of your hair is dry.
Once your hair is dry, you can style it however you like! If you’re going for
How to Maintain Your Blowout
It’s not enough to just have a good blowout–you also have to know how to maintain it. Here are some tips:
– Sleep on a silk pillowcase: This will help keep your hair smooth and prevent frizz.
– Touch up your roots: If your roots start to show, use a dry shampoo or volumizing spray to touch them up.
– Don’t overdo it on the products: Too much product can weigh down your hair and make it greasy. Stick to using just a few pumps of product, and be sure to evenly distribute it through your hair.
