Total Salon Blowout...At Home! The Sleekest Look for Your Locks Using a Roundbrush.

          I have always had naturally straight hair, however, along with the length, comes the tangles, frizz, and unruliness. So instead of spending money and time at the salon, give yourself a celebrity-style blowout in the comfort of your own home for gorgeously smooth, soft, shiny, and straight hair. It might take a little more time than straightening it, but trust me, the results are BEYOND worth it!

To get the look yourself, all you need are:

• A roundbrush (smaller for more volume or shorter hair; bigger for longer and thicker hair)
• Heat protectant spray (always guard your hair against damaging heat)
• Hairdryer (for the fastest blowout, use the highest setting but be careful not to burn your hair!!!)
• Spray bottle of water (if you are using dry hair)

1. Brush your hair thoroughly to get rid of all the tangles and kinks in your hair. Use the roundbrush (preferably with boar bristles) to distribute the natural oils in your hair evenly. Do not apply hairspray or smoothing serem before you blow-dry.

2. Spray the heat protectant spray evenly, concentrating on the ends of your hair. Brush your locks again with the roundbrush to evenly distribute the spray.

3. For the fastest and easiest blowout, divide your hair in half at the back (so that your hair lays in two sections on each side of your shoulders) and divide each half into as many 1 1/2 to 2 inch (depending on how thick your hair is) sections as you need. Use elastics to keep the sections seperate.

4. If you are using dry hair, take one section and spray it with water until it is completely damp, not wet. If your hair is already damp, skip this step.

5. Take the roundbrush and brush through that section once. Then position the brush as close to your head as possible, so that you get the roots of your hair. Turn on your hairdryer and holding the brush there still, dry the top section completely (for more volume, push the brush up so that your hair poufs). Then, without lifting the brush, hold the hairdryer about 1/2 inch away from the brush as you glide down SLOWLY so that your hair becomes dry and smooth. Depending on how thick your hair is or how fast it dries, how slowly you glide down may differ.

6. Repeat the steps for all sections of hair, bending in or out at the ends if you wish.

7. Blast your hair with your blowdryer on cold air for the shinest results.

8. Apply anti-frizz serem (I recommend Garnier Fructis Shine & Sleek Anti-frizz Serem) or hairspray if you wish!

9. Enjoy your beautiful hair! =)
