How To Achieve A Perfect Bouncy Blowout At Home
How to Achieve the Perfect Bouncy Blowout at Home
There’s nothing quite like a salon-fresh blowout—the volume, the movement, the lasting power. But what if you could recreate that same bouncy, glamorous finish at home? At Fringe Collective we believe fabulous hair is actually achievable every day. Follow these expert tips to achieve a flawless, salon-worthy blowout from the comfort of your own home.
Step 1: Prep Like a Pro
A great blowout starts with the right foundation. Begin with a volumizing shampoo and a lightweight conditioner like Oribe Magnificent Volume line which keeps hair bouncy, not weighed down. Towel-dry gently and apply a heat protectant like the Oribe Invisible Defense to shield your strands from damage. For extra lift, work a volumizing mousse like Oribe Grandiose or thickening spray like Tres Sets into the roots.
Step 2: Rough Dry for Volume
Before reaching for your round brush, rough dry your hair using your blow dryer and fingers until it’s about 75% dry. Flip your head upside down to encourage volume at the roots. This step helps cut down on styling time while maximizing bounce.
Step 3: Section and Style
Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Starting at the bottom layers, use a round brush to smooth and curl the hair as you dry. Try to use sections of hair that are no larger than your brush. Hold the dryer at an angle, directing the airflow downward for a sleek, polished look. Always move the dryer and not your brush. For maximum bounce, roll each section around the brush, hold for a few seconds, and then let it cool before moving on.
Step 4: Lock in the Shape
For added longevity, pin each freshly dried section into a loose curl while it cools. This helps set the volume and shape, ensuring your blowout lasts all day (or even longer). Once cool, release the curls and gently shake out your hair for soft, bouncy movement.
Step 5: The Finishing Touches
Run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair to blend the curls naturally. Avoid over-brushing, as this can flatten the volume. Finish with a lightweight, flexible-hold hairspray like Oribe Freestyler to maintain movement without stiffness. If you love extra shine, a small drop of hair oil like Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil on the ends will keep them looking glossy and healthy.
Bonus Tip: Sleep Smart
To extend the life of your blowout, wrap your hair in a loose silk scrunchie and use a silk pillowcase to prevent frizz and flattening overnight. If you need a quick refresh in the morning prep your hair with Oribe Dry Heat Protection Spray and use your 1.5” curling iron to bring your bounce right back!
