Mastering a salon-like blowout is every girl’s dream. The volume, the bounce, and the smooth texture will give your hair an instant glow-up. But finding a good blowout tutorial is only the first step toward your ideal hairstyle. Learning the right styling technique, though, is a sure way to success.
The beauty blogger and your hair bestie Matt Newman can’t gatekeep his go-to tricks for a stunning blowout look. The content creator shares his top tips on how to achieve different blowout styles – from those luxurious blow-dry curls to the classic blowout with magnetizing volume and curtain bangs to die for.
For any type of blowout hairstyle, you’ll need a blow dryer and a round brush or a hair dryer brush. To make a perfect blow-dry curl, take a small strand of your hair and twist it around itself when using the brush. Blow dry the hair with every twist to achieve a defined curl. Another technique is twisting the brush through the section, which is easier and helps prevent tangles. Don’t forget your texturizing spray before styling to make your curls last!
By holding the brush vertically, you create beach-wavy elongated ends. You may also try other methods to get beach waves, styling your locks with hot tools or heatless techniques like braiding. Some online users share their own hacks for achieving wavy locks quicker and easier. “I’m so lazy to blow dry it into a curl with a brush so I always blow dry the strands with tension and then set them with a roller so it still gets some curl,” one person comments. “Don’t forget to mention that because you have naturally curly hair your blowout will achieve curls easier than people without texture,” another person adds.
Hold your brush sideways, as if you’re wrapping your locks around a hair roller, to get flipped-up ends and volume. For lazy-girl hairstyles, consider also a blowout hack with a straightener to imitate the blow-drying effect without hurting your hands from holding them up all the time. For the effortless curtain bangs look, blow dry your front pieces at the roots first and then away from the face. “If your shoulders feel broken and fingers are numb, you’re doing it right,” Matt Newman jokes. But hey, it still works!
If you want to recreate a straight-out-the-salon blowout hairstyle, these easy tricks will help you with that. Try them out and enjoy your Insta-worthy look!
