One thing I’m all about is time efficiency, let’s be honest we are all busy and having to wash your own hair and style it is something we all dread ( or is it just me). I love to get a weekly blowout, it saves me time, I can do work/ answer emails/ etc, so very time efficient ( which we love) and I get in my self care and my me time.
I wanted to have my stylist Ava who I see almost every week for a blowout come on here and tell you how she gets the perfect blowout. I have tried a lot of stylists and I have to say Ava is a pro at the blow!
M E E T MY STYLIST
Im Ava! I am currently a stylist at Dino Palmieri Salons.
After I got accepted into the cosmetology program my high school offered, I completed an in-salon internship where I grew a huge connection with the stylists and started learning aton about doing hair, I instantly fell in love with the industry. I realized the power your hair has on you.. from your overall appearance, confidence, attitude, style etc. I love how changeable it can be and the fact that sometimes, all you need is a good hair appointment to feel recharged, rejuvenated, and confident! and being able to give that to my guests is a rewarding feeling! no day behind the chair is the same, and I look forward to what everyday has in store for me!
I am a blowout addict & i’m here to tell you how to get the perfect blowout yourself, and why blowouts can be beneficial!
Besides a blowdryer and a round brush YOU WILL NEED:
- patience! you’re not gonna get it perfect your first or second try!
- a nozzle for your blow dryer! to direct the air flow in the specific area you’re working on
- good blowout products! some of my favorite blowout products are:
KEVIN MURPHY BODY BUILDER MOUSSE at the roots: it gives you fullness, volume, and prolongs your blowout by absorbing your natural oils throughout the week!
ORIBE ROYAL BLOWOUT SPRAY: a GAME CHANGER, this is a lightweight heat protectant prep spray that will speed up your blowdry time, give you shine and smoothness, and nourish your ends.
ORIBE GOLD LUST OIL: worked through your ends, amazing for damaged/dry hair, it has a heat protectant, and will nourish, condition, smooth, and infuse your hair with biotin. it is never too heavy and leaves you with a great shine! can also be applied on dry hair, daily.
ORIBE DRY TEXTURIZING SPRAY to finish: MY FAVORITE! this product, I couldn’t live without. this can be applied everywhere through your dry hair to give volume, fullness , texture, and absorb oils!
TIPS:
- rough dry your hair until it’s 60% dry and most the moisture is out!
- section your hair into small sections, focusing on one at a time
- aiming your blow dryer down every section using good tension with the brush to smooth the hair and seal the cuticle which will get rid of/prevent frizzies!
- finish with some texture spray for volume, and some oil to seal ur ends and any fly aways!
You can prolong your blowout by
twisting it up in a scrunchie before going to sleep
spritzing the roots with some dry shampoo on day 2/3
and using a shower cap while showering
BLOWOUTS make everything better, because let’s be real the only thing better than a good hair day, is a good hair week!!
A good blowout goes without needing any additional flat ironing/curling unless preferred. I myself try to get my hair blown out weekly because no, it’s not easy to do yourself! and it never looks as good as when someone else does it for you!! It gives you a chance get get some good nourishing professional products in your hair, if you aren’t one to invest in them for at home use. it’s a great time to relax and pamper yourself. and your not gonna have to worry about doing your hair for AT LEAST 3 days! ( if not 7 😉 )
