Step-By-Step Beauty: At-Home Blow Out Tricks From Demi Moore's Stylist! - Stylehive

Who doesn't love a salon blowout? Your hair looks better than you ever thought it possibly could. It's soft, shiny, sleek and no matter what you do with it, throw it up, leave it down, put it half up and half down, it looks amazing! Suddenly everything changes, your mood, confidence, etc. Eventually, though, you will be forced to wash your hair. You try your best to replicate the blow-out on our own, but sadly, it just never looks the same. So is it impossible to give yourself an ultra-sleek salon blowout? NO! Here's a great 6-Step guide to blow-out perfection.

STEP 1.
Apply a blow-dry product, like Redken satinwear 02 blow-dry lotion, $15.95, or straight 05 straightening balm, $14.95, to damp hair and use a wide tooth comb to dispense the product evenly.
- To add volume and substance to fine hair, try thickening lotion 06 body builder, $12.95.
ˆ’ For unruly hair, try align 12 ultra-straight balm, $15.95.

STEP 2. Blow-dry hair on high heat working from the scalp to the ends using your fingers until it's 80% dry.
ˆ’ For added volume at the roots, turn hair upside down while drying, using a boar€™s head bristle brush

STEP 3. Clip hair into 3 sections: 2 on the sides and 1 in the back.

STEP 4. Blow-dry each section one inch at a time using a thick, medium-sized boar bristle brush and low heat. For each section, start drying hair at the scalp and then move down to the mid-length of hair- when the mid-length is dry, finish the ends. Use the nozzle on your blow-dryer to keep the airflow pointed down the hair strand to prevent unwanted fly-aways.

- For ultimate heat-styling protection, try spritzing Redken fabricate 03 heat-active texturizer, $12.95, on each section to create texture and dimension with added heat protection.
ˆ’ To avoid your arms from getting tired, make sure to keep both your elbows at shoulder level, and use your wrists and lower arm to move the brush and dryer.

STEP 5. To finish the look, touch up each section with a flat iron (for added heat protection, re-apply fabricate 03 heat-active texturizer on each section before flat iron use).

ˆ’ For additional control and a frizz-free shine, finish with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray, $14.95.

STEP 6.
Before heading out, spritz on some vinyl glam 02 mega-shine spray, $14.95 for instant shine and a sleek, polished finish.

Inside Tip From Demi's Stylist
To add even more movement and bounce to this already sleek blow-out, Redken session stylist, Patricia Morales suggests €œRoll two velcro rollers in the front two sections of your hair after your blow-dry is complete. While the rollers are in place, apply your makeup. Then, let the rollers down and you€™ll have beautiful waves with extra movement and lift in the front and you€™re ready to go €“ a trick I often do when styling Demi Moore€™s hair.€�
