How to Blow-Dry Your Hair Like a ProFollow these expert tips for the best at-home blow-out, ever |
Getting a professional blow-dry is like getting a shot of beauty adrenaline. The feeling you experience when you leave the salon is pure exhilaration. Nothing much has changed; your face is the same, and your weight is the same, but somehow you feel ten times more beautiful and infinitely more confident.
The bummer is that splurging on a pro blow-dry every week is hardly practical and (sigh) doing it yourself never yields the same results — until now, that is.
Determined to unlock the secrets of the salon blow-out once and for all, we went to Mari Ring, senior stylist at the Maximus Salon in Hermosa Beach, Calif., who had to admit that her industry cohorts might be a tad peeved that she spilled some trade secrets.
So, what are you waiting for? Muster some confidence and learn to become the master of your own blow out. It will take practice, but in time, you'll never need to spend 40 bucks on a gorgeous 'do again.

Great suggestions! I switched to an ionic hair dryer and quit over-drying my hair. It's made a huge difference in my hair health.

I try to do this, exactly as described, but I never realized how important the "cool shot" is to a successful blow dry.

Love this tutorial! I was a \"dryer-shaker\", and now know why I couldn\'t shake (no pun intended!) frizz...I will be changing my technique beginning with my next shampoo! Thanks for the info!

I expected to see how a woman does her own hair. I blow dry my hair exactly the way it is described and never get good results. Also it is very much time consuming and very hard to do.
