From prepping damp strands to setting your style for all-day hold, celebrity stylist @rogermedinahair helped us curate the ultimate guide to achieving a polished blowout.
Prep
For Thin, Fine Hair
Damp: EXPANDA Volume
Dry: TEXTURIZA Spray & U:DRY High Dry Shampoo
For Medium, Normal Hair
Damp: LIQUID Volume
Dry: TEXTURIZA Spray & U:Dry High Dry Shampoo
For Thick, Coarse Hair
Damp: BOOSTA Volumizing Spray
Dry: TEXTURIZA Spray
Pro Tip: If you want max volume, hair must be damp when applying your volumizing products. Layering on dry hair = missed opportunity.
Product applying order
- Damp Hair = Volume Product
- Blow Dry
- Dry Styling = Texture, Dry Shampoo, Polish
- Finish with flexible hold
Tools needed
- Round Brush
- Sectioning Clips
- Velcro Roller
- Dryer with concentration nozzle
Your step-by-step guide to the perfect blowout
- Mist EXPANDA Volume from root to tip on damp hair
- Rough dry using fingers – lift at the roots
- Use a round brush to smooth & shape
- Set crown section in rollers – cool for 10 minutes
- Remove rollers + comb through with a wide-toothed comb
- Polish with SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream
- Finish with Le:Play Hairspray
Pro Tip: A good blowout should last you 2-3 days. If in need of a refresh, use U:DRY Clear, Plus+ or High Dry Shampoos.
“If you’re not great at round brushing hair, you can always curl your hair with a 1 inch curling iron and put them in rollers immediately after. Cool down for 10 minutes and this will still give you the same effect.” – Celebrity Stylist, Roger Medina
