There’s nothing quite like that ‘fresh from the
salon’ blowout. If you can’t make it to your
hairdresser’s, it’s easy to recreate the look at
home with the right tools and products.
The first trick is to make sure you shampoo
your hair twice. The first washes, the second
nourishes (and really scrub at that scalp to help
remove product build-up). Follow up with a
moisturising conditioner.
Next add a heat protectant spray to damp hair.
By adding a heat protectant to your DIY blow-dry,
you can help seal in moisture and protect against
damage. Most of your favourite haircare brands
should carry a heat protector in their range.
To achieve a salon-worthy oomph with plenty
of extra volume use a volumising spray on your
roots. Not only will this add volume but it will also
help your bounce stay around longer.
Using a bristle brush, dry your hair away from
your face, back on itself, and then downwards,
which will help your hair cuticles lie flatter and
make it smoother at the root. Add bounce
by brushing the mid-lengths and ends in
alternating directions.
For loose, tousled waves, use a curling wand on
sections of the hair and style away from your face.
