Here’s what Robyn suggested to keep your blowout looking its best:
1. Hands off
First things first: Don’t mess with the final do. keep your fingers out of your hair, abstain from aggressive brushing, as well as if you do have to brush, carefully utilize a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush.
You want to minimize any type of disturbance to your blowout, so your hair can retain as much of its shape as well as volume as possible.
2. keep your distance
This one’s for my women with flyaways (otherwise understood as “my people”). If you have cowlicks or pieces of hair that jut upward at strange angles, instead of utilizing a wax or a hair pomade (products which can rob you of valuable volume) to smooth them down, opt for a versatile hairspray, a spray wax or a spray oil.
Use quick bursts of the product used from a distance — seriously, as far as you can hold your arm out! The farther the better. That way, you can prevent over-applying the product as well as weighing down your hair.
The obligatory before shot…
And here’s the after!
Do a few quick spritzes, as well as if you requirement to, utilize your fingers to carefully smooth wayward flyaways, as well as then let the product totally dry. At that point, asses whether you requirement more (Robyn prefers to utilize as bit product as possible when she does blowouts since she like hair with great deals of movement). Repeat the process up until you’re happy. ?
On my hair, Robyn utilized a mix of two products: First, she did a few quick mists of vibrant attractive Hair increased Elixir, then complied with that up with Moroccan Oil luminous Hairspray.
3. Pump up the volume
If you’re going to keep your blowout for a number of days, Robyn suggests asking your stylist to maximize the volume, since as days go by, the volume will decrease, as well as if you begin off on day one with a flatter style, by the next day, your hair will look even flatter.
Basically, you want some space for your hair to deflate.
The products Robyn utilized for the look
To dial up the volume, Robyn started by shampooing as well as conditioning my hair. then she scrunched a volume-enhancing mousse (Moroccan Oil Volumizing Mousse) into my roots, as well as sprayed a “memory” styling spray that retains the shape of blow-dried curls as well as aligned sections (Vibrant attractive Hair Memory). She likewise used a smoothing serum (Moroccan Oil Blow-Dry Concentrate) on my wet hair from the mid-shaft to the ends.
Fancy satisfying you here!
For added volume around my bangs, Robyn blew out a few sections of hair, rolled the sections into huge curls, as well as fastened them into location with metal hair duck expense clips.
She then enabled those sections to cool, which sets the shape of the strands as well as boosts the volume even more.
Note to self: utilize this method again.
4. sleep on silk
To keep your blowout smooth as you slumber, invest in a silk pillowcase to prevent flyaways as well as frizz.
If you sleep on your back, Robyn suggests parting the hair on the back of your head down the middle, as well as then resting it on your shoulders while you sleep. as well as if you’re a side sleeper, then rest your hair on the shoulder opposite the one you’re laying on.
5. get down with duck clips
Another choice for keeping your blowout smooth (and retaining that fantastic volume) while you sleep: stack your hair on top of your head, as well as secure it into a loose topknot with metal duck expense clips.
The clips are less likely to bend your hair while you sleep. ?
