If you’ve ever watched an award show or perused fashion magazines and wondered how the ladies made their hair so sleek, you’ve seen the results of a blowout. Learn more about this hair styling process and why you should treat yourself to one the next time you head to a salon.

What Is a Blowout?

A blowout involves a special drying treatment to keep your hair smooth and shiny. During this process, a professional stylist will wash your hair with a shampoo for your specific type of hair, whether it’s curly, textured, wavy, or straight. Then they’ll add a conditioning treatment for extra shine and bounce. Next, they’ll detangle the hair and use dryers and brushes to limit frizz. They’ll finish the look with products like hair spray. 

Blowouts can last up from three days up to a week if kept away from moisture. Use dry shampoo to absorb any oils near the scalp, and add some volumizing spray to plump up your locks after a few days. 

When Should You Get One?

A blowout will upgrade your look any day. This low-maintenance style is perfect for a big meeting, a first date, or a wedding. Some even get blowouts every week to keep their hair shiny and gorgeous at all times. Others look for special occasions like prom, Valentine’s Day, or a birthday to enjoy this beautiful style.
