Ready to give your long hair that voluminous, sleek look? A blowout can transform your hair, but it’s all about the right technique and products. Start with a heat protectant and make sure your hair is about 80% dry before reaching for the round brush and blow dryer – this minimizes heat damage and keeps frizz at bay. For long hair, a larger round brush (2-3 inches) works best to create those smooth, bouncy ends without tangling. And don’t forget the nozzle attachment on your dryer to focus the airflow for a smooth finish. Seal the look with a cool blast to lock in shine and volume. If you’re craving that salon-level bounce and shine, keep reading to find out how to master the perfect blowout at home.
