How to Get a Salon Blowout at Home: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preparation is Everything
A perfect blowout starts in the shower. Use a volumising shampoo and a lightweight conditioner, applying conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends. Towel dry gently by squeezing the water out—never rub. Apply a high-quality heat protectant and a volumising mousse or spray at the roots.
Step 2: The Rough Dry
Do not start styling immediately. Using the Muuhu Hair Dryer without attachments, rough dry your hair until it is about 70-80% dry. Flip your head upside down and focus the airflow on the roots to build initial volume. Trying to style dripping wet hair takes too long and causes unnecessary heat exposure.
Step 3: Sectioning and Styling
Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Attach the Concentrator nozzle or the Round Volumising Brush to your dryer. Working from the bottom sections up, pull the hair taut and direct the airflow down the hair shaft (from root to tip). This flattens the cuticle for maximum shine. When using a round brush, roll the hair up, blast it with heat, and then hold it for a moment to set the shape.
The Secret to Lasting Volume
The most common mistake when doing a DIY blowout is skipping the cool down phase. Hair is malleable when hot, but sets its shape when cold. For every section you dry, use the cool shot button for 5-10 seconds before releasing the brush. This sets the volume and seals the style.
