How I Get a Salon-Like Blowout at Home

There’s nothing like walking out of a salon with that perfect blowout—the kind that bounces, shines, and makes you feel unstoppable. I used to think that magic was reserved for salon pros only, but over time (and many trial-and-error sessions), I discovered a few tricks and products that brought that “just left the salon” feeling right into my bathroom. So, here’s my go-to blowout routine, complete with my favorite products, that you can try at home too!

Start Fresh: Ouai Fine Hair Shampoo

First things first: a clean base is a must for any blowout. I start with the Ouai Fine Hair Shampoo. Since my hair tends to be on the finer side, this shampoo is a game changer. It lifts at the roots and doesn’t weigh my hair down, which is a huge plus. After washing with this, my hair feels so much lighter, and I can already tell it’s going to have that salon volume I crave. The fragrance is dreamy too—like you’re being pampered in a spa.

Condition to Perfection: Ouai Fine Hair Conditioner

Next, I go in with the Ouai Fine Hair Conditioner, focusing mainly on the ends where I need the most moisture. It’s light enough that it won’t drag down my hair but still gives it that soft, silky finish. I love how my hair feels right after rinsing—it’s like I can already imagine the bouncy, full-bodied look I’ll have by the end of my blowout. Plus, this conditioner really helps keep frizz at bay, which makes styling so much easier.

Prep and Protect: Amika Brooklyn Bombshell Blowout Spray

Now, here’s where the magic really begins. Before I start drying, I spritz on the Amika Brooklyn Bombshell Blowout Spray. This spray is essential because it gives my hair that extra volume boost and makes it feel like it has more grip, which is key for styling. It also acts as a heat protectant, which is non-negotiable when you’re blow-drying and using a styler. Just a few spritzes are all I need for a fuller, longer-lasting blowout.

The Secret Weapon: Dyson Airwrap

Finally, I pull out my Dyson Special Edition Airwrap—and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny. This tool has totally changed the game for me. I use the round brush attachment for the roots to add volume, then switch to the curling barrels for that perfect bounce at the ends. The Airwrap is designed to style with less heat, so it keeps my hair looking healthy and shiny. I just section my hair, wrap it around the barrel, and let it do its thing. The result? That signature salon finish with way less effort.

Final Touches

After styling, I love to run my fingers through my hair to break up any tight curls and create that natural, flowing look. The result is glossy, soft, and totally salon-worthy. Now, my secret’s out, and you’re just a few steps away from your own at-home blowout perfection!
