3 FAVES FOR A PERFECT BLOWOUT

Most of us are trying to live our best life and do less with our hair while hoping it looks better than ever. While I love an air-dry scenario or a second day wave/dry shampoo combo, sometimes you just have to go FULL blowout. If you find yourself faced with the daunting task of round brushing your own mane, trust me– you will want to have one or two of these bottled-up miracles on hand to get you through…

• ORIBE ROYAL BLOWOUT : my favorite for coarse, thick, unruly, curly, wavy, frizzy and/or slow-to-dry hair. Apply a very thin veil all over before blowdrying. I feel like my brush goes through 100 times smoother and doesn’t get caught on anything. I’ve also noticed it speeds up drying time significantly. I have yet to find something comperable to this in a more affordable price range, but I will say this bottle seems to last for ages, so I would say it’s worth the splurge.
• LIVING PROOF BLOWOUT STYLING SPRAY: great on fine, straight hair that needs styling support from the inside out. I love this because sometimes you’ve got that head of hair that’s so straight or fine or long and it doesn’t want to wrap around the brush. This spray helps create a little grip which helps you get tension and bend as you need it.
• DRY BAR HOT TODDY RESTORATIVE CREAM: If you stuggle with dryness, damage, if you bleach your hair, highlight heavily or if you just desperately need a haircut but you can’t seem to prioritize it, use this if you’re going to blow your hair out. Evenly apply a dime size from middle to ends on wet hair. Blow out as usual. It helps me get softness on even the driest, most damaged hair. (This will get your through, but like also, GO get your haircut!) By the way, you can use this in conjunction with the others– just apply this on the ends first and then the spray on top!
