How I blowout my curly hair!

It took me a while, but I've finally perfected my go-to routine for transforming my curly hair into a smooth, bouncy blowout that lasts for days! If you've been struggling to achieve that salon-quality look at home, you're in the right place. I’m spilling all my secrets, starting right from HAIR WASH DAY, to get those gorgeous, frizz-free results. First things first, a successful blowout begins with proper hair preparation. On HAIR WASH DAY, I make sure to use a clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup, followed by a deeply hydrating conditioner. Curly hair tends to be drier, so moisture is key! After rinsing, I gently squeeze out excess water with a microfibre towel – never rub vigorously, as that can create frizz before you even start. My hair is still damp, but not dripping wet, which is the perfect canvas for the next step. Next, product application is crucial. I start by working a generous amount of a smoothing cream, like the Eco-Smoothing Cream, through my damp hair, focusing from mid-lengths to ends. This helps to soften my curls and prepare them for straightening. Then, I layer on my absolute must-have: a humidity and heat protectant, such as the Color Wow product. This not only shields my strands from heat damage but also acts as a powerful barrier against humidity, which is a curly-haired person's worst nightmare for a blowout! I make sure to distribute these products evenly, combing through with a wide-tooth comb to ensure every strand is coated. Now for the actual blowout tutorial for curly hair! I start by rough-drying my hair with the blow dryer on a medium heat setting until it’s about 70-80% dry. This cuts down on overall drying time. Then, I section my hair into smaller, manageable parts. This is vital for curly hair, as it ensures each section gets enough attention. I usually start at the nape of my neck and work my way up. Using my Revlon Round Brush, I take a small section of hair and place the brush underneath, close to the roots. I angle the blow dryer nozzle downwards, following the brush as I pull the hair taut and smooth it from root to tip. The key is consistent tension. For extra volume at the roots, I lift the brush straight up as I dry that section. If I want to achieve a slightly wavy blowout or get blow out curls, I might wrap the ends of the hair around the brush and hold the heat there for a few seconds before releasing it gently. This creates a softer bend rather than a pin-straight look. I repeat this process, section by section, until all my hair is dry and smooth. Don't forget the cool shot button on your dryer! Once each section is dry, hit it with a blast of cool air. This helps to set the style and lock in shine, reducing frizz. After my entire head is blown out, I flip my head over and gently shake out my hair to add some natural volume. I finish with a lightweight anti-frizz serum or a flexible hold hairspray to keep everything in place and protect against any rogue humidity throughout the day. This routine has been a game-changer for me. It might seem like a lot of steps, but trust me, it’s worth it for a beautiful, long-lasting curly hair blowout. You absolutely can do a blowout on curly hair and get incredible results – it just takes the right products, technique, and a little patience!
