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. 7: Rope Braids "Wrapping your hair in a loose braid overnight for movement is an easy style trick," says Leal. But what if you're after ripple-y, princess waves instead of the beachy, crimped look you get from wearing your hair in braids?
The rope braid -- created by sectioning the hair into two pieces instead of three, then twisting it together -- is an easy way to get pretty waves overnight. Start by separating slightly damp hair into two sections, twisting each section away from the face, as you wrap those sections around each other. (If you're scratching your head, here is a great video tutorial.)
When you take your hair down in the morning, fluff and brush your waves, then add body with a thickening styling product. Leal recommends dry texturizing spray, which she says is great for adding "lift at the root." Try IGK Down & Out Dirty Spray.
