Once the hair is prepped for heat, you gotta consider your biggest hair challenges.
Step 3: Rough Dry Your Hair
Now its down to business.
I love to begin a blowout by rough drying the hair to about 50% dry, says Maclay.
The Dyson Supersonic the best blow dryer on the market, says Maclay.
The heat output options plus the wind speeds help to expedite the blow drying process.
Gathering too much hair onto yourround brushwill make the process much longer, and much less effective.
Work in small sections starting from the bottom layer of hair, says Hurtado.
Section your hair horizontally from ear to ear and clip away the rest of your hair.
These high-tension styling clips are a lot like what youd see in a salon.
Using tension, dry around the brush.
Then, unclip the top layer and repeat.
Now youll want tohit your roots with a volumizerto double-check you have an even, all-over bounce.
I love finishing a blowout with Klorane, says Maclay.
A dry shampoo adds instant volume and texture.
Spray it generously from roots to ends, and then finish with alight mist of hairsprayfor hold.
Step 7: Fine Tune With a Flat Iron
Hit your hair with the finishing touches.
Dont press for too long, or it will change the texture of the blowout.
