How to Achieve the Perfect Blowout at Home (Without the Salon Price Tag)

There’s nothing like the feeling of a fresh, bouncy blowout. But weekly trips to the salon can take a toll on your wallet—not to mention your schedule.

Good news: You don’t need a stylist to get that flawless, voluminous finish. With the right tools and a few pro techniques, you can achieve the perfect blowout right at home. At OllaBella, we’re making it easy to bring the salon experience to your bathroom mirror.

Let’s walk you through the step-by-step.

What You’ll Need:

• Heat protectant spray
  
  

• OllaBella Volumizing Hair Brush or 3-in-1 Blow Dryer Hair Set
  
  

• Sectioning clips
  
  

• Lightweight styling mousse (optional)
  
  

• Shine serum or light hold spray
  
  

• A little confidence—you got this
  
  

 Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

Great hair starts with great prep. Towel-dry your hair gently and apply a heat protectant spray to shield your strands from damage. If you want extra volume, work in a dollop of lightweight mousse from roots to mid-lengths.

Step 2: Section for Success

Divide your hair into 3–4 sections using clips. Start with the lower layers and work your way up. Smaller sections mean more control and better results—especially when using the OllaBella Volumizing Brush, which lifts from the root while drying.

Step 3: Blow Dry With Purpose

Here’s where the magic happens. Use your OllaBella 3-in-1 Blow Dryer Hair Set or Volumizing Brush and begin drying each section from root to tip, pulling the brush slowly through the hair. Always aim the airflow downward to smooth the cuticle and boost shine.

Pro Tip: Use the cool air setting once you finish each section to lock in volume and reduce frizz. OllaBella tools are designed with Cool Air Technology for this very reason.

Step 4: Add Movement

For that extra bounce and body, curl the ends slightly inward or outward while brushing. This gives your blowout the polished, face-framing effect seen on the runway—and in your favorite celeb selfies.

Step 5: Finish with Shine

Once all sections are dry and styled, apply a small amount of shine serum or finishing spray. This adds gloss and holds your style without weighing it down.
