PRE-STEP

Cleanse and nourish the hair with a volume or invigorating shampoo. For a frizz-free blowdry we recommend using a nousirshing mask with a drop or two of oil such as Sebastian Dark Oil, and massaged into the midlength and ends with your finger tips. This will boost illuminosity and nourish without the weighty finish.

STEP 1

For the perfect blow dry start by blasting the hair using a medium heat to get rid of excess water until the hair is 80% dry. Blow dry the hair against the direction it lays as this will encourage volume at the roots rather than the hair falling directly against the scalp. M-A Salons can always assist with products needed.  

STEP 2

Now you need to separate the hair into several sections depending on how thick your hair is. Doing this also helps cut down the drying time which is especially helpful for those of you with thicker hair. 

STEP 3

When its comes to drying many people can get confused with how to manage the hairdryer.  You should continually follow the brush with the hair dryer using the nozzle. Make sure you repeat this over and over until the section is completely dry, if you leave moisture in the hair the blow dry will fall flat later on.

STEP 4 

Repeat this for each section staring at your bottom section at the nape going to the top of the hair. Blow drying the front section of your hair can be difficult. Use a slightly smaller brush for this section especially if you have shorter pieces around the front, this can make blow drying a lot easier for you.

STEP 5

To finish use a pea size amount of serum through the ends to eliminate any frizz and a spritz of hairspray will help hold your blow dry. However be wary you are not applying too much product or too many as applying too much will weigh your hair down.

FANCY A FLUTTER?

Give lashes a coquettish curl for extra wide-eyed volume this Valentine’s. Take your mascara wand and plant it right at the root of your lashes, wiggling the brush in small, zig-zag motions whilst combing upwards and out. Once at the tip, hold the brush in place to lock in your curl. Repeat until all lashes are covered for a flirty finish.
