As a mom of two, I think I can speak for most moms when I say that washing my hair is a luxury, never mind giving myself an at-home blowout. But I’m telling you that blowdrying your hair is worth it. In fact, I believe that a good hair day starts with these things:

A good hair cut

The right products

A proper blowout

When most people hear the word “blowout,” they automatically think of an expensive trip to the salon, but other than when I get my hair cut and colored, I’ve never just gotten a ‘blowout;’ I’ve always done it at home, and you can too!

Best of all, my blowout can last for up to three days, which means I only wash my hair about twice per week!

TOOLS YOU NEED

I use a good, small-bristled round brush (also works great as a microphone for my best bathroom lip sync battles). I couldn’t tell you where I got this brush, but you can get them pretty much anywhere.

I’m currently using the Hot Shot Tools blow dryer. It does the trick, but I tend to like a more substantial, powerful dryer, so I’m in the market for a new one!

I ALWAYS use Moroccan oil and Phomolliant by Aveda before I start blow drying. I notice a BIG difference when I don’t use these products. It’s just not the same. You can find out more about how these products work and how to find what’s best for you, here.

HOW-TO

Watch this quick video for my step-by-step process for doing an at-home blowout, with very little styling needed afterward! In all, this blowout took me 7 minutes. It’s the foundation for at least two good hair days between washes!
