9 Genius Ways to Fake a BlowoutForget the round brush and hairdryer -- here's how to cheat your way to a salon-style hair blowout |
Fake a Blowout Trick No. 2: Curling Iron Of course, not all women can get a blowout look from a simple updo. "Unfortunately, if you have thick or curly hair, you're going to have to manipulate the hair with heat," says Christyn Nawrot, national educator for Phyto.
"Use a curling iron to smooth your hair out and add wave," suggests Nicole Leal, master stylist at Nine Zero One. Adding curls will give coarse hair smoothness, control and style in a few minutes. The key is to use a large-barrel curling iron; the bigger the barrel, the faster you'll get this thing done.
If you've just washed your hair, rough-dry it and add a styling cream like Devacurl B'Leave-In. Then, take a section of hair and clamp a large-barrel curling iron (think: 1.75 to 2 inches) at the very ends; roll the curls all the way up to your scalp, release, and let them cool. Make sure to wait a few minutes before breaking up the curls with a brush and applying finishing spray.
