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. 5: Hot Rollers For bouncy, blowout-style curls, retro hot rollers might be the next best thing to a blowout. Because they're secured at the scalp and deliver even, sustained heat, hot rollers give hair body and style all day long.
When picking a set and styling your hair, remember two things. First, the thicker your hair is, the bigger your rollers should be. (T3 Voluminous Hot Rollers and Remington T Studio Thermaluxe Pro Series Hair Setter are two great options.) Second, roll your hair horizontally for maximum volume and a pinup look; roll it vertically to get spirals.
The most common mistake with hot rollers: taking them out too quickly. If you remove the rollers before they're completely cool, your curls will go limp before your A.M. commute is over. Try setting your hair at the beginning of your getting-ready routine; once you've done your makeup, gotten dressed and had your morning cup, you're ready to (un)roll.
