How to do the Perfect Blo-OUT!

    One of the salons I work at in New York City is Blo Blow Dry Bar in New York.  We are the first Blo-OUT  "ONLY" concept salon.  We have perfected the art of the blow-dry style.  I want to share a couple of tips with you to get that salon-type "Blo-OUT,"  and teach you some pro tips on how to make it last.  Remember practice makes "perfection."


Tools you will need.
  • When you shampoo your hair, apply conditioner to the shaft of your hair mainly at the ends.  Do NOT place conditioner on the roots, this may cause your blo-out to be heavy and weighed down. 
  • Rinse the conditioner completely with cool water as to not leave any residue.  The cool water gives it a shine and closes the hair shaft to make your blo-OUTS smooth and perfected! 
  • Section your hair off in sections to achieve smoother blow-outs and to assure that each section is dried properly from root to end otherwise your blo-OUT will be frizzy if it is damp.
  • Use a heat protector to detangle and get that polished look and to protect your hair from heat damage.
  • Apply a bodying product to your roots for oodles of BODY!
  • Start blowing your hair from the front because the hair there is thinner and dries fast. Remember your hair needs to be wet to be blown dry.
  • ALWAYS use a nozzle to achieve salon-style Blos!
  • Blow your hair to be at least 70% dry before you start round brushing it. 
  • A round brush with the metal in the inner part is great to achieve smoother and quicker blo-OUTS.
  • Pin the hair/use velcro rollers after you blow-curl your sections for lasting body. 
    This is me doing a step-by-step BLO-out
    on my client.(Blow, then pin each section and let it cool off)
  • Spray with a really great "flexible" holding spray, NOT an extra hold spray... and GO! 
    Here is a pic of myself with client Ms. Marla Maples, actress and
    ex-wife of Donald Trump. I did her Blo-OUT this past week
    and she absolutely loved it!  She wanted body with curls and then her
    daughter called and requested she get it straighter.
