Many tutorials online can give you a step-by-step guide to a salon blowout, although many forget to cover the basics for different hair types. Seeing as everyone’s tresses are different, here’s the rudimentary method with a few top tips, catered to long, fine, curly, and short strands – because every girl deserves to look their best post-blowout.Long HairEveryone loves a totally touchable head of shining, long hair. To achieve glorious results, run a few drops of smoothing serum through damp tresses and distribute the product with a comb. I, personally, use the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. Section off your hair and direct your nozzle down to the ends of your strands for even cuticles, working from the roots downwards. Keep the tension when you’re brushing through your hair and drying, for a sleek finish. Finally, switch to a cool setting to set your style. Smooth out your ends with a serum or cream and flatten flyaways on the top of your head with this product too. Short HairStyling cream is the key to a great short ‘do. Mixed with a tiny bit of gel, you should massage this into your hair. Pinch and twist your tresses as you dry, while aiming at the roots for some serious lift. Shape sections around your face, once your strands are dry, before putting a very small amount of pomade or wax through your hair – warm it up in your hands first to make it pliable; wax is pretty tough stuff. Finish by styling to your heart’s content.Fine HairFine hair never does what you want it to do…it especially doesn’t do volume. Fight back with your blowout! Give your tresses body by rubbing a golf-ball-sized amount of volumizing mousse between your palms and applying it to damp hair. Begin drying, and when your strands are ever-so-slightly damp still, put the top section up in Velcro rollers. Spray a little root-booster on to your scalp and then go at your hair once more with the dryer. When the Velcro rolls feel dry to the touch, blast them with cool air to set the style and up the glossy finish. Unwind the curls slowly and discard the rollers. Using your fingers, gently tousle your hair. Curly HairCurls can go from beautiful ringlets to a frizzy nightmare in an instant. While your curls are wet, gently wrap them around your fingers to coax them into a more tame form. Once your tresses are dry, for goodness sake, leave the curls alone, lest they explode into a static mess! Only use a wide-tooth comb when attempting to dry your hair and attach a diffuser to your dryer – Elchim dryershave some great add-ons to protect your tresses from damage. Unlike other hair types, you should gently cup and lift your strands to dry them – don’t squeeze or scrunch. When your tresses are almost dry, flip your head upside down and massage your roots while you complete your blowout. Once you’re done and happy with the effect, blast your curls with cool air to set them in place. A little wax can soften your ringlets and smooth down any flyaways.Do you have any tips for creating a professional blowdry at home? Let me know in the comments below!
