So always wondered how to get that gorgeous salon straight blowdry without having to use straighteners? Look no futher!
What You'll Need:
Wide Tooth Comb
Round brushes
Hair Clips
Flat Brush
Hairdryer (with or without nozzle)
Styling product - mousse etc
Finishing product - hairspray
Step One
Come out your wet hair with your wide tooth comb. Put in your mousse or styling product of choice and comb through.
Section your hair into three. Two front sections and one large back section.
Step Two
Take smaller sections of the large back section. Using your round brush blowdry the hair DOWNWARDS, from root to tip.
TIP; The direction you blowdry is KEY to how your blowdry comes out! Always blowdry down the hair from root to tip, this flattens the cuticle and ensures a smooth shiney finish!
Step Three
Continue to blowdry the hair in sections until the crown. If you want some height in the crown complete the next step, if you don't miss out Step Four and continue to blowdry the hair straight.
Step Four
To get height at the crown, pull the hair UP. Place your brush at the roots and blowdry the hair upwards, ensuring the head is still directed at the tips of the hair.
Step Five
Time to dry the front sections! Do exactly the same with the sides as the back. Divide into smaller sections and blowdry root to tip!
Done!
If you have layers and your finding that they seem to have a mind of their own, heres a little tip to get them to lay flatter without having to grab the GHD's!
Using a flat brush, pull the hair backwards from the face and blowdry.
This makes the hair set into a different shape and makes even the most stubborn layers lay flat!
Hope this helps!
I'll be reviewing some curling wands and tongs in the next blog! I'll also update with a tutorial on how to use straighteners to get curls!
