Preparation for a Flawless Blowout:


Start with Clean, Conditioned Hair:

Begin your blowout on freshly washed and conditioned hair. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, like the Argan Oil Duo, to ensure your hair is clean, soft, and primed for styling. Avoid using heavy conditioners that may weigh down your hair or leave a residue.


Towel Dry and Apply Heat Protectant:

After washing your hair, gently towel dry it to remove excess moisture. Apply a heat protectant spray, like the Atmos-Shield Spray, or serum to shield your strands from the damaging effects of heat styling. This step is essential for preserving the health and integrity of your hair.


Section Your Hair:

Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. This technique allows you to focus on one section at a time, ensuring even drying and styling. Start with the bottom sections and work your way up to the top for optimal control and efficiency.


Blow-Drying Techniques for a Salon-Worthy Blowout:


Choose the Right Tools:

Invest in a high-quality blow dryer with multiple heat and speed settings. A professional-grade dryer offers advanced technology that dries your hair quickly while minimizing heat damage. Additionally, use a round brush with a barrel size that complements your desired hairstyle. A larger barrel creates more volume, while a smaller barrel provides tighter curls or waves.


Pre-Dry Your Hair:

Before diving into the styling process, use your blow dryer on a low to medium heat setting to pre-dry your hair. Gently run your fingers or a wide-toothed comb through your hair as you direct the airflow from the roots to the ends. This step helps remove excess moisture and speeds up the overall drying time.


Section and Start Styling:

Release one section of hair at a time and secure the rest. Take a medium-sized section and place a round brush underneath it, close to the roots. Use your blow dryer on a medium to high heat setting, aiming the airflow downward along the hair shaft. Slowly glide the brush down the length of the hair, simultaneously following with the dryer. This technique smoothes the hair cuticles, adds shine, and creates a sleek finish.


Create Volume:

For added volume at the roots, use a round brush to lift the hair at the crown area while directing the heat towards the roots. Gently lift the brush as you blow-dry, allowing the warm air to create lift and fullness. Focus on the roots until they are dry and lifted to your desired height.


Master the Brush Technique:

To achieve beautiful curls or waves, wrap a section of hair around the barrel of the round brush. Use the blow dryer's heat to set the curl, then gently release the brush while keeping the section in a curled position for a few seconds. Repeat this technique throughout your hair, alternating the direction of the curls for a natural and voluminous look.


Cool Shot:

Once you have styled each section, use the cool shot feature on your blow dryer to set the style. Switch to the cool setting and blast your hair with cool air. This helps to seal the hair cuticles, lock in the style, and provide long-lasting hold. Finish with a final cool shot all over your head to enhance shine and reduce frizz.
