Calling all curly girls that want a smooth as silk, bouncy, bombshell blowout. Molly Getz (@mollygetz), a Sam Villa ambassador, Redken artist, and stylist at Soto Signature Salon & Spa, breaks down her method that requires both a paddle and an oval brush.
“Make sure to use enough heat for good smoothing and redirecting., and always allow the hair to cool—that’s what gives a blowout longevity,” says Getz.
- Apply Redken’s All Soft Moisture Restore Leave-In for smoothness and Thermal Spray 22 for protection.
- Use a Sam Villa Professional Light Ionic Blow Dryer and Signature Series Paddle Brush to wrap dry hair, confusing the roots and adding volume.
- At the crown, wrap hair in the cardinal direction to maximize volume.
- Once hair is almost dry, switch to a Sam Villa Signature Series Oval Round Brush, which provides a lot of tension for really smoothing hair out.
- Point the nozzle of the dryer downward and hold the brush in a diagonal position to create a slight wave and bend in the hair.
- Turn the brush and rotate it away from the head, down each section to add additional bend.
- Once at the center-back of the head, change directions and rotate the brush/hair away from the face.
- At the crown section, lift hair with the oval brush to create on-base curls and pull hair in the opposite direction that it falls.
- Rake fingers through to break up waves.
“This blowout will last for days and days … and it’s frizz-free and really full and shiny,” says Getz.
