Must-Have Prep Product 

Straight Ahead Beauty Blowout Spray

One of the biggest secrets behind salon-quality blowouts isn't the styling tool - it's the prep. The Straight Ahead Beauty Blowout Spray helps: 

• Protect hair from heat 
• Reduce frizz 
• Improve shine 
• Extend blowout longevity 
• Create smoother styling results 

Professional stylists consistently emphasize the importance of using heat protectants before blow-drying to help protect the hair cuticle and improve styling performance. 

Apply Blowout Spray to damp hair before styling to create the ideal foundation for volume, bounce, and shine. 

How to Do a Blowout at Home

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Start with clean, freshly washed hair to create the best foundation for your blowout.

• Wash and condition your hair.
• Gently towel dry to remove excess moisture.
• Apply leave-in conditioner to damp hair.
• Detangle thoroughly with a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush.
• Apply heat protectant evenly from mid-lengths to ends.

Step 2: Rough Dry

Using either the Salon Supersonic Breeze Digital Blow Dryer or the 3800 Turbo Infrared Blow Dryer:

• Dry your hair until it is approximately 70–80% dry.
• Focus on lifting the roots for added volume.
• Keep the airflow directed downward to help reduce frizz and smooth the hair cuticle.

Experts recommend beginning styling when your hair is mostly dry to minimize heat exposure while achieving smoother, longer-lasting results.

Step 3: Style

For the easiest at-home blowout, use the Infrared Air Styler & Blow Dryer Brush.

Work in small sections:

• Start at the roots.
• Pull upward to create lift and volume.
• Glide slowly through the mid-lengths.
• Rotate the brush slightly at the ends to create soft bounce and movement.

Smaller sections typically produce smoother, shinier, and more polished results.

Step 4: Finish

Once your blowout is complete:

• Allow your hair to cool completely.
• Gently shake out the roots for natural volume.
• Use hair curlers, or flat irons to enhance the look.
• Finish with your favorite styling products for extra hold and shine.

Your finished blowout should look:

• Smooth
• Voluminous
• Bouncy
• Shiny
• Salon-worthy
