Let's get started!! 🫧🧴

Step 1: Prepping Your Hair

Preparation is key to a lasting blowout.

1. Wash Your Hair: Start by washing your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This will help control frizz and add shine. Look for sulfate-free products to keep your hair from drying out.

   
   

2. Towel Dry Gently: After washing, use a microfiber towel or soft T-shirt to gently press out excess water. Avoid rubbing your hair, as this can cause frizz.

   
   

3. Apply Leave-In Conditioner: Leave-in conditioner hydrates your hair and protects it from heat damage, especially important in dry or humid conditions. Apply a small amount from mid-length to the ends of your hair. Use a brush or your fingers to distribute it evenly, ensuring that every strand is coated.

   
   

4. Apply Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from heat damage during blow-drying. Be careful not to use too much, as it can make your hair look greasy

   
   

5. Brush your hair: Use a detangling brush.

   
   

Step 2: Blowing Out Your Hair

Now for the blowout! Follow these steps for a smooth, voluminous finish.

1. Use a Blowout Spray. Blowout sprays add volume and texture, helping to lift your roots and make your blowout look fuller. Mist the spray all over damp hair, concentrating on the roots to maximize lift and volume.

2. Apply a Heat-Activated Treatment This treatment protects your hair from humidity and keeps it smooth and frizz-free, making your blowout last longer. Spray generously from roots to ends. Don’t be afraid to use a lot—this product needs a good amount and heat to work effectively.

3. Take your hairbrush, pull your hair back and blow dry it. (Like the image, it's gonna help you add more volume to the hair). Drying your hair to about 80% before styling helps minimize heat exposure and makes the styling process faster.

4. Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into smaller sections to make the blow-drying process easier. This will help you achieve a more even result.

5. Use a Round Brush: The round brush is key to getting that sleek, smooth look. Start by wrapping a small section of hair around the brush and use the blow dryer to follow along the hair shaft, moving from root to tip. Always aim the nozzle down to prevent frizz.

4. Take Your Time: Work in small sections, and dry each section thoroughly before moving on. For extra volume, lift the brush upwards as you dry the roots.

5. Seal with Cool Air (Optional): Once each section is dry, blast it with cool air to lock in the style and add extra shine.

6. Set with Rollers: After blow-drying each section, immediately wrap it around a velcro roller and pin it in place. Let it cool down completely before removing.

Step 3: Finishing Touches

Now that your blowout is done, add some finishing touches.

1. Add Volume: If you want more volume, you can gently tease your roots or apply a lightweight volumizing spray.

   
   

2. Smooth Flyaways: Use a shine spray or lightweight hair serum/oil spray to smooth down any flyaways and add a final glossy finish.

   
   

How to Preserve Your Blowout Overnight

The key to making your blowout last is how you treat your hair while you sleep. Satin curling rods or rollers can help you keep the volume and smoothness without heat.

Step 1: Ensure Your Hair is Completely Dry

Before setting your hair for the night, make sure it's fully dry. Damp hair can become frizzy overnight.

Step 2: Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into several sections to make it easier to wrap around the curling rod or rollers.

Step 3: Use Satin Curling Rods or Rollers

• Satin Curling Rod: Place the satin rod on top of your head, wrap each section of hair around it, and secure the ends with a scrunchie or clip.

  
  

• Satin Rollers: Roll your hair from the ends up toward your scalp, securing each section with a clip.

  
  

Step 4: Cover with a Satin Bonnet or Scarf

Wrap your hair in a satin bonnet or scarf before going to bed. This reduces friction and keeps your hair smooth while you sleep.

Next Morning

In the morning, it’s time to reveal your gorgeous hair.

1. Unroll Gently: Take out the curling rod or rollers gently to avoid disrupting the curls or waves.

   
   

2. Finger Comb: Use your fingers to separate and style your hair instead of a brush. This will help maintain the shape of the curls.

   
   

3. Touch Up: If needed, smooth out any frizz with a light touch of anti-frizz serum or a spritz of shine spray.
