How to Achieve the Perfect Blowout at Home

A salon blowout is always a treat, but with the right tools, techniques, and products, you can achieve a gorgeous, professional-looking blowout right at home. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering the DIY blowout, featuring our must-have Kérastase products to elevate your style.

Step 1: Prep Your Hair
The foundation of a flawless blowout starts with clean, hydrated hair. Use a high-quality shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. For a soft, smooth finish:

• Kérastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste Shampoo: Ideal for frizz-prone hair, this shampoo provides gentle cleansing and anti-frizz benefits.
• Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Conditioner: Perfect for dry hair, this deep conditioning treatment delivers intense hydration and nourishment.

After washing, gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess water without roughing up the cuticle.


Step 2: Apply Heat Protectant
Always use a heat protectant to shield your hair from heat damage. For best results:

• Kérastase L’Incroyable Blowdry Lotion: This versatile styling product not only protects your hair from heat but also provides flexible hold and helps you reshape your style without additional heat.
• Kérastase Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray: Mist lightly over your hair to tame flyaways and maintain a smooth look throughout the day. 

Work the products evenly through damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.


Step 3: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Start at the nape of your neck and work your way up. Smaller sections allow for more control and a smoother finish.


Step 4: Dry with a Round Brush
Using a round brush and a blow dryer with a nozzle attachment, dry each section of hair. Follow these tips for optimal results:

• Hold the brush under the hair, pulling it taut as you direct the blow dryer’s heat down the shaft. This technique helps to smooth the cuticle for a shiny, polished look.
• For added volume, lift the roots as you dry.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Once your hair is completely dry, lock in the style and add shine with finishing products:

• Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil: Apply a small amount to the ends for a silky, glossy finish.

Pro Tips for a Long-Lasting Blowout

• Use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve your style overnight.
• Avoid touching your hair too often to minimize oil buildup and frizz.
• Refresh your blowout on day two or three with Kérastase Fresh Affair Dry Shampoo for added volume and a clean feel.
