5 Expert Blow-drying Tips

Just like the perfect fall day featuring sweater weather, blue skies, and a pumpkin spice latte, the perfect blow out will lift your spirits and make you look amazing.  And although your stylist makes it look easy, mastering the art of the blowout takes time, patience, and the right tools and products. Fall into fall with the perfect blowout to make the most of your luxurious locks. Whether you desire a blowout that is abundant and playful, or polished and smooth, read on for the latest tips from our experts. 

Prepare Your Hair

Like any artist, you need to start with a fresh new palette before you begin the art of the perfect blowout. In your case, that means you need your hair to be as clean as possible. 

Make sure to shampoo twice with your favorite shampoo, and avoid conditioning your hair if you think it ends up making your hair limp and less able to style the way you want. 

Expert tip: Consider conditioning before you wash your hair, so your hair receives the benefits of the conditioner, but the conditioner doesn’t linger to drag down your hair.  Make sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to get rid of the extra product before you take the next step. 

No matter what, you will want to rough dry your hair, removing about 70% of the moisture before you start blow drying. This will make your job much easier and set you up for a successful blow dry. Do so carefully to avoid breaking the shafts of your hair. 

Choose Tools Wisely

If you are searching for the perfect tool to create the blowout of your dreams, once you choose the 2000 Salon Pro Hair Dryer, your search is over. The high velocity AC motor combines with tourmaline ceramic technology, creating negative ions that lock in moisture and eliminate static and frizz while also reducing dry time by 50%. 

This salon grade blow dryer features 3 heat settings, a 2 year warranty, and the all-important locking cool shot so that you can set your style. Here are a few other must-have features that the Salon Pro offers:

• A speed-dry nozzle which cuts your drying time and helps you to focus the air on one particular section at a time. This is imperative, as you need to completely dry one section before moving on to the next.
• A curl defining diffuser is an integral addition if you have curly hair, as it helps you avoid the frizz and add volume at the same time. It also works wonders on wavy hair, adding volume and hydration while eliminating static and frizz. 

Untangle With New Technology

The Platform Blowout Brush is a game changer when it comes to blowouts. With plasma ionic technology that purifies the air as you blow dry, you will keep the hydration and lose the static and frizz. The 360 degree air flow and powerful motor combine with the oval-shaped barrel, lightweight style, and ergonomically shaped handle to make this the perfect tool for beginners or those who find it difficult to create the perfect blowout.

Another element that makes this the perfect tool for beginners is that this tool does four jobs in one: dries, volumizes, smooths and curls. You don’t have to figure out how to balance a round brush and hair dryer at the same time, while still leaving room for a curling iron somewhere on your bathroom counter.  And with the powerful attributes of the Platform Blowout Brush, you will  end up with sleek, beautifully styled hair. 

Brush Like A Boss

Along with the proper dryer, using the correct brush for the job will be the difference between beautiful, bouncy hair, or dull and lifeless hair. If you want a long-lasting, seamless brush that will create a gleaming, lustrous blowout, this ceramic boar bristle brush is the brush for you. With a combination of nylon and boar bristles, this brush offers superior smoothing qualities, and allows you to distribute your hair’s natural oils as you brush and blow out your hair. The nylon coating will help the brush glide easily through your hair, eliminating tangles and pulling, which could damage your hair. Even the handle helps the cause, as it is long and weighted for proper balance as you brush. 

Guard Against Heat Damage

Even if you have the best tools, they won’t make much difference if you have broken, damaged hair. Protect your locks from heat damage with our Fresh Start Protective Prep and Primer. This specially formulated product will get rid of tangles,  and it conditions while it works, without weighing down your hair and making it harder to style. This helps you to create an evenly spread canvas for all of your later styling, with your hair’s moisture evenly distributed and maintained. This also leads to elasticity and maximum protection for your hair. 

Fall is a time for sweaters, football, and pumpkin flavored everything. And along with that, it is the perfect time to create an impeccable blowout. With FIHHeat products, you will have the technology and power you need to make your hair fall into place, whether you are looking for sleek and stylish, or bouncy and full of life.
