What to expect during a professional blowout at the strand co.
If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping out of a salon with smooth, voluminous, and picture-perfect hair, a professional blowout might be just what you need. Whether it’s for a special event or a confidence boost, a blowout can transform your look and leave you feeling fabulous. But if you’ve never had one before, you might wonder what to expect. Let’s break down the process and why a professional blowout is worth every penny.
1. The Consultation
Before the magic begins, your stylist will consult with you to understand your preferences. Do you want sleek and straight hair, soft waves, or dramatic volume? They’ll also consider your hair type, texture, and any challenges you’ve been facing to ensure the final result aligns with your vision.
2. A Relaxing Wash
A professional blowout starts with a thorough shampoo and conditioning treatment. Stylists often use high-quality, salon-grade products tailored to your hair’s needs. This step not only cleanses your hair but also sets the foundation for a long-lasting style.
Pro Tip: Let your stylist know if you have any specific concerns, like a sensitive scalp or a preference for certain products.
3. Sectioning and Pre-Drying
After towel-drying your hair, your stylist will section it off for easier styling. Using a high-quality hairdryer, they’ll begin the pre-drying process, removing excess moisture without applying too much heat. This step helps minimize damage and speeds up the blowout process.
4. The Blowout Technique
Here’s where the magic happens. Using a round brush and a blow dryer, your stylist will work through each section of your hair to create the desired shape, volume, and texture. This process takes precision, but it’s worth it for the polished look you’ll achieve.
Stylists often adjust the brush size and technique based on your hair type and desired result. For example:
Smaller brushes for tighter curls or waves.
Larger brushes for smooth, straight locks or big volume.
5. The Finishing Touches
Once your hair is dry and styled, your stylist will finish with products to lock in the look. This might include a heat protectant spray, volumizing mousse, or lightweight oil for added shine. They’ll also do any final touch-ups, like taming flyaways or adding extra curls with a curling iron if needed.
6. Long-Lasting Results
One of the best things about a professional blowout is how long it lasts. With proper care, your blowout can stay fresh for several days. Stylists often provide tips to maintain your style, such as:
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz.
Using dry shampoo to keep your hair looking clean.
Avoiding excessive heat tools after the blowout.
