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. 4: Flat Iron A basic flat iron is another great tool for cheating a blowout, especially if you prefer sleekness to curls. If your hair doesn't have a lot of natural texture, you may not even need to iron all of it, Leal points out. "Smoothing just the top sections can give the illusion of a salon blowout," says Leal.
The key here is to not pull the hair straight down with the iron; instead, rotate your wrist as you pass over each section of hair. This will mimic the bend and movement you'd get from a paddle-brush blowout. When you're done ironing, add fluff and fullness by applying dry shampoo or volumizing powder at your roots.
