Get ready to turn heads with your luscious, voluminous hair; the result is just a few steps away!

Step 1: Start With a Clean Slate

Before using your blow dryer, the voluminous blowout begins with using shampoo and conditioner.

You can use products that align with your styling goals or those chosen by our stylists, such as Kérastase Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner.

These products give your hair a perfect foundation for lifted volume. Once you have finished rinsing, carefully pat your hair with a towel to dry it. Avoid excessive friction, as it may cause your hair to frizz later.

Another interesting fact is that if you have straight type 1 hair, you can benefit from learning this blow-drying technique.

Step 2: Prep The Hair For Styling

How to blow-dry hair for volume involves prepping it before you start. Start by sectioning your damp hair and applying a blow-dry spray.

Spread it uniformly from the midpoint to the tips. To achieve the best spray outcome, keep the can at a minimum distance of ten inches from your hair.

Using a spray mist is ideal for those with fine hair. It’s a taming formula that seals the follicle and keeps your hair frizz-free.

Step 3: Using Blowdry Volumizer

Now, layer some Kérastase Mousse into your hair and keep it close to your scalp for more control and volume. It is a lightweight mousse that provides a firm hold, especially for those with fine hair, and tames any frizz. By layering some mousse, you can quickly master a voluminous blowout.

Step 4: Remove Moisture From Your Hair

Next, take your blow dryer to remove most of the moisture in the hair, aerate the hair around the scalp, and help maintain volume. The heat will activate the products you apply and help further boost the volume. Flip over your hair and blow-dry it upwards, away from your scalp, for more volume.

Step 5: Section Your Hair

Now, section your hair from the bottom of your ear to the ear and blow-dry the nape section using a medium-sized round brush.

Pull your hair using the brush away from your head at a 90° angle as you blow dry. It will add volume to your voluminous blowout at the roots. Remember to use the provided nozzle to help concentrate heat where you need it the most.

This nozzle directs the airflow, preventing excessive heat exposure to the hair and reducing the risk of damage, while ensuring a smoother, more controlled blowout.

Step 6: Move to The Next Section

To do this, you take a horseshoe section from one recession to another to help separate the next section. Now blow dry with a high tension on the base to keep it smooth. You must round the brush at the ends to get a straight curl for that salon blowout finish. For more hair volume, leave the pin-rolled hair at the base with the ends left to cool.

Step 7: Move to The Crown Section

With your last crown section, you must work in horizontal subsections of your front hairline. Here, use full tension when blow-drying your hair straight up at a 90° angle to add volume and smoothness. In this section, your fine hair needs the most voluminous lift.

Step 8: Blow-drying Front Hairline

In the hairline subsection at the front, you must blow dry in a forward movement and down to help eliminate those baby hairs. Doing this prevents the baby hairs from sticking in an upward style. With this voluminous blowout, it polishes it off, as you can find in a salon blowout.

Step 9: Add Additional Texture

If you want to add more texture to the hair, you can tousle your locks with your fingers and finish it off with a volume spray to set your style and keep the remaining flyaways in place. It is the final step to help preserve your blow-dry.

Step 10: Extend Your Voluminous Blowout

If you want to extend your voluminous blowout for a few days, use dry shampoo to help reinforce volume and refresh the roots. You can also check out the guide on maintaining your blowout for days.
