Step-by-Step Guide to Your Loose Wave Blowout
Step 1: Prep with Dream Cocktail for Volume
Start with damp hair. Apply a coin-sized amount of Color Wow Dream Cocktail for Volume from roots to ends. This heat-activated serum will thicken and condition your hair while adding volume for a bouncy, full-bodied look.
Step 2: Add Protection with Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
Section your hair roughly and spray on Color WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray . Distribute it evenly for ultimate heat protection and frizz control. This formula also ensures a smooth, glossy finish for your blowout.
Step 3: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into four sections—two at the bottom and two at the top. This will make styling with the GHD Blowdry Brush easier and more precise.
Step 4: Add Volume to the Undersides
Start with the bottom sections. Place the GHD Blowdry Brush under the hair and pull it toward your face as you dry. This technique adds lift and volume to the undersides of your hair.
Step 5: Create Waves on the Top Sections
Move to the top sections of your hair. First, use the GHD Blowdry Brush under the hair to build volume at the roots. Then, use the brush to twist and pull the hair away from your face, creating soft waves and that signature blowout curl.
Step 6: Perfect the Fringe
When you reach the fringe or curtain bangs, pull the hair forward and use the GHD Blowdry Brush to curl it backward. This technique creates volume, shape, and the perfect sweeping fringe that frames your face beautifully.
Finishing Touches
- Once your loose wave blowout is complete, finish the look with a spritz of Color WOW Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray . This lightweight gloss spray adds brilliant shine and protects your hair, leaving it with an intense, healthy-looking glow.
