How to Get a Va-Va-Voom Blowout at Home

That feeling of a glossy, bouncy blowout right after leaving the salon? You can totally get it at home too. But it takes more than plugging in your blow-dryer and aiming the nozzle at your strands. Commit these hair commandments to memory, and those days of limp, frizzy tresses will be a distant memory.

1. Location Matters: Steamy showers = humid bathrooms. And humidity? It’s a recipe for frizz. Move your blow-drying operation to the bedroom.

2. Skip the Towel-Dry: Be sure to avoid rubbing your hair (another cause of frizz) and wrapping a towel on the top of your head (which flattens your roots).

3. Always Use Protection: Get your mind out of the gutter – we’re talking heat protection. The most crucial spot to apply? Your ends, which tend to be the most damaged and delicate part of your hair.

Got it? Good. Read seven more blowout tips on Allure.
