Steps
Wash your hair and towel dry gently until it is about 80 percent dry. Rough drying first cuts down on heat damage and speeds up the whole blowout.
Spray heat protectant evenly through damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Comb it through so there are no tangles before you start.
Clip your hair into four sections: two at the back and one on each side. Work on one section at a time so the hair stays manageable.
Attach the concentrator nozzle and point it down the hair shaft. This directs airflow along the cuticle for a smoother finish.
Start at the back. Take a small subsection, place the round brush underneath, and pull the hair taut while following with the dryer.
Roll the brush up toward the roots and hold the heat there for a few seconds. Let the hair cool on the brush before unwinding for lasting volume.
Repeat through each section, keeping the nozzle pointed downward. Smaller sections give more control and a smoother result.
Finish the front and face-framing pieces last, rolling them away from your face. Use a lower heat setting around the hairline.
Rub a drop of lightweight oil or serum between your palms and smooth it over the ends only. Avoid the roots so volume stays.
Tips and common mistakes
Never blow dry soaking wet hair, since it takes longer and causes more heat damage.
Keep the dryer moving and at least a few inches from your scalp to avoid burns.
Let each section cool on the brush before releasing it, as the shape sets as it cools.
Clean the dryer's air intake filter regularly so airflow stays strong.
Questions
Do I need a special brush?
A round brush with boar or mixed bristles works best because it grips the hair and adds tension. A vented brush is fine for a simpler, straighter look.
How do I stop my blowout going frizzy?
Keep the nozzle pointed down the hair shaft and use a heat protectant. Finish with a small amount of serum on the ends only.
How long does a blowout last?
Usually two to three days if you sleep on a silk pillowcase and avoid humidity. Refresh roots with dry shampoo instead of re-washing.
