From frizz-taming creams to blow-dry brushes, L’OFFICIEL rounds up a selection of blowout products and tools to add to your beauty arsenal, alongside a foolproof at-home blowout technique.
A fresh blowout is a morale boost for every woman. With voluminous and glossy hair, either straightened or with some soft curls added, you immediately feel like a brand new person ready to take on the world. While it's probably been a while since any of us have gone to the salon for a blowout, that doesn't mean we can't recreate the bombshell hair look at home. You can now style a perfect blowout thanks to a number of products and hair tools optimized for the task. From blow dry brushes and anti-frizz sprays to heat-protectant and styling creams, L’OFFICIEL finds the best options to transform your hair.
Step-by-Step Instructions for a Foolproof At-Home Blowout
An at-home blowout may seem like a daunting task, but it's much easier than you may think. With new technological breakthroughs in the hair styling world and the reemergence of voluminous hairstyles in recent years, achieving a salon-perfect blowout all by yourself is within your grasp.
According to experts at Sephora and Ulta, every at-home blowout should begin with damp hair. The next step in this quick routine is a volumizing mousse, a must-have product if you're going for a look that will leave your hair looking bouncy and healthier than ever.
From there, blow dry your hair until no longer damp, and then separate your hair into at least three sections. Whether you opt for the classic round brush technique or reach for a TikTok-viral heated brush tool, you'll want to wrap small sections of hair around the rounded edge, pulling away from your head slowly and applying continuous heat to the ends. Repeat this process until your hair is dry—and sufficiently voluminous. Once you're satisfied with your work, finish with a short blast of cool air to help lock in the style, and apply a hairspray to finish and set your hair.
Now that we've shared our favorite, foolproof at-home blowout technique, shop these tools, treatments, and preparation products to aid you in your quest for the ultimate salon-worthy blowout.
