Prep Makes Perfect
The products you’re using in the shower can make a big difference in how your hair will look and feel post-blowout. “Start by shampooing and conditioning properly,” says Amy Stollmeyer, co-founder of haircare company Design. Me. Gently remove product buildup and oils by massaging your scalp with the tips of your fingers, really working in your shampoo. Then use a conditioner just from the mid-length to the ends.
Once your hair is clean, squeeze out the excess water with a microfiber towel. Then either air-dry or rough-dry until it’s barely damp. “To rough-dry, flip all of your hair to one side of the head and blow-dry the roots in an upward direction until they’re mostly dry, then flip hair over and do the other side,” says Stollmeyer. Now, add in your products (look to your right for perfect picks).
Master the Blow-Dry
“The technique of using a brush to lift the hair and pull it away from the scalp takes a lot of practice,” says Rivera. The key to success? Doing it in segments. By working methodically, section by section, you’ll have more control over your hair—and you’ll be able to reach every piece.
