What you need
Steps
Start with clean, damp hair. Towel dry gently until it stops dripping, then comb through any tangles.
Spray heat protectant evenly through the mid-lengths and ends. This limits damage from the hot air.
Clip your hair into sections. Work one section at a time so each part dries fully before you move on.
Rough dry each section on medium heat until it is about 80 percent dry. Keep the nozzle pointed down the hair shaft.
Wrap a section around a round brush and pull it taut while you aim the dryer down the hair. Roll the brush out at the ends for a smooth finish.
Let the hair cool on the brush for a few seconds before unwinding. Cooling sets the shape so it lasts longer.
Cleanse your face, then apply moisturiser and sunscreen. Wait a minute so the products settle before makeup.
Apply your base makeup, then add blush, a little brow definition and mascara. Curl your lashes first if you use a curler.
Finish with a light setting spray or a small amount of hair oil on the ends to tame flyaways.
Tips and common mistakes
Always use heat protectant before any hot tool, even on low heat.
Point the dryer nozzle downward to keep the cuticle flat and reduce frizz.
Do not brush wet hair roughly. Use a wide-tooth comb and start at the ends.
Test any new skincare or lash product on a small area first in case of irritation.
Questions
How do I stop my blowout from going frizzy?
Keep the dryer pointed down the hair and finish each section with a blast of cool air. A little hair oil on the ends helps too.
Can I do this on short hair?
Yes. Use a smaller round brush and shorter sections so the hair dries evenly.
How long does an at-home blowout last?
Usually one to three days depending on your hair type and humidity. Sleep with your hair loosely tied or on a silk pillowcase to keep the shape.
