6 steps to the perfect blowout

Follow these 6 steps for a blowout that lasts.

1
Model with long, healthy wavy hair

Start with slightly damp hair

Towel-dry your hair briefly. It should be damp, not wet: that's when the curl holds best and lasts longest.

2
Volumizing pre-styling spray and mousse

Protect your hair before you start

Apply a heat protector all over and add styling mousse for volume and hold. Both go on before you blow-dry, not after. See our recommended hair products here.

Pre-dry and section your hair

Blow-dry until your hair is almost dry, with only the ends still slightly damp. Then clip it up in sections of 2 to 3 centimetres and start at the bottom.

Curl section by section

Let the ends hang loose and let the airflow pull your hair around the attachment. Heat until the section is dry (30 to 40 seconds), then cool it down on the cold setting (30 to 40 seconds).

5
Model with finished, voluminous curls

Finish and lock it in

Turn the styler off before you slide the attachment out, and pull it straight down. Let your hair cool down completely before you run your fingers through it, and finish with a light hairspray if you like.

Not quite working yet?

Usually it's one of these:

  • Hair too wet or too dry while styling
  • Sections too big, airflow can't get a grip
  • Curl released while it was still warm
  • Practice: you'll pick up the technique after a few tries
