Bodified Blowout | Step-By-Step Hairstyle Tutorial By David Lopez | Kenra Professional

Hi friends, I'm David Lopez, Liberty, stylist and kennen professional artistic ambassador here to show you how to create one of my own personal signature, styles, the modified blowout with just a few easy steps and some real incredible products. I'M sure it's gon na, be your signature style. Soon as well so my model salad ad, has really really long thick hair, so I'm gon na put about a quarter. Size amount gon na be more than enough to give me that really beautiful finish, so I'm gon na start by working it through the mid lengths down to the ends. What I can do is a kind of think about it. Sometimes like a balayage, I'm gon na start with the heaviest product in the mid lengths and then I'll work. My way up and I'll work my way down to the ends, then what I'll do with whatever is leftover on my palms I'll, try to get it a little bit closer to the roots, just to make sure I have an even distribution of product. This is probably one of the most important steps that you're gon na take in your style. Remember what you do from wet to dry is going to be the key to how long the style lasts, how much body you have and how much lift you have so you'll notice a lot of clients. The roots want to grow really flat to the scalp. This step is really key. What I'm doing right now is starting to brush her hair up and away from its natural growth direction, growth pattern. So on the side, I want to make sure I brush it up and then in the crown area wants to split. I want to go ahead and get rid of that split so now that I feel like. I have a lot of the root directions up and away from the face, I'm gon na start by rough drying, the hair. So this part is really important. I like to use my hands when I'm working into the roots, but if you want to make sure that you're getting as much lift as possible, you can use that for a nylon brush that I was using before just make sure they're not stretching the roots too Much that you're just using it to just gently, lift and get rid of any sort of root direction. That'S not going to give them ton of body! So now that I feel like. I have a really nice and dry and lift it out. What I'm gon na do is flip her upside down and finish drying, their hair to 100 % with just my hands. I know I said something you can always do behind the chair, but if you can, I would advise it. It'S just gon na give you so much more lift and really allow that hair to be fully expanded. So now that our hair is completely dry, I'm gon na go ahead and gently detangle her hair. This step is really important as well just be very work. Your way to the root so that I think to say from the ends up to the roots and the transforming texturizing cream is really incredible because it has the ease of a cream. But once you hit heat to it and turns into a powder, so it leaves behind so much beautiful body in there I'm going to go ahead and pre section her out to the blow-dry. This is really great for those clients that have a lot of hair that you feel like you kind of get lost in that blowout, so go ahead and make it easier for yourself. Work smarter, not harder and map it out ahead of time. So I'm gon na go from arch to arch Tiffany. My first section you can see here just really nice clean horizontal lines, so the next section is going to be from the end corner of that one straight down to just behind the ear. Now, with a lot of clients, this is where I like to start, because the hair gets set out of the face out of the way and then, when I go to the back everything's out of the face and then say, there's a makeup artist there, someone else Working they're able to kind of do their job as well, so now we're ready to begin the really fun part. The blow-dry. I am gon na use a ceramic metal brush if she had very textured hair I'd, probably go for a boar and nylon mixture. So I get that smoothing as well. I'M gon na want to make sure it's something to remember when you're doing your blow-dry, we don't want to be going like this with a dryer. Everything needs to be going up 90 degrees really far and up away from the head everywhere, all over to make sure that we get all that lift so think about this. I'M blow-drying it like this. When I take it down, look how much lift I'm gon na get versus bringing it down here, I'm gon na get it some body, but I'm not gon na get as much lift. Now what I like to do when I'm doing the blow-dry the first step is to get the roots nice and warm start lifting them up, and then you can go work, your way to the mid lengths and then the ends. If you want to hold your brush here for just a couple seconds, you can use the cool shot, you can just hold it there. Do you really want to set that shape now, when you release just gently, unroll and twist, at the same time, make sure you're not pulling too much and just keep all that bounce in the hair? I'M gon na go back to that front section, because some of your clients are gon na. Have that hairline, that's not quite as dense, so you can go back in and do it by itself. So what I'm gon na do is set this section. I'M gon na brush it up straight towards the ceiling and we're gon na set it using a metal. Duct bow clip slide that clip right in and let it sit right there, you notice, while it's setting how much lift I have off of the head. Nothing is flat even up here where the hair wants to part it's still lifting away from the head. So now we're going to repeat the same thing on the other side, so something that I want to do appear a little bit different. I'M gon na split this section in half and I'm going to zigzag it just because this top section when I go to run my hands through it, I don't want to see any harsh horizontal lines in it. I want them to blend together, so I am gon na zigzag this section in half and again this is just gon na really allow me when the two sections join together. What you see is is that they're gon na have no choice but to really live in harmony and really give me a little bit more lift and body. Because if I had a harsh horizontal line right here, where the head is wanting to split, it's always going to be there and I have to work extra hard to get rid of it so similar to the top. I'M gon na go ahead and create a zigzag section down the back and then create a quadrant right back here. What I like about the zigzags too, is that it kind of tells me where I can part the hair, so I think that I'm gon na go ahead and start at right at this quadrant here and make that one section. I want to give you a tip about using the metal brushes. Sometimes I noticed that Silas get a little concerned about it, tangling in the hair, when I'm rolling the brush back in towards itself, I'm not having a ton of tension, I'm rolling it really nice and super light. I'M not really gripping it into the hair because then that can lead to tangling, but sometimes it does happen and if it does happen, when you're unrolling, you'll notice, it's very easy to just go in. If you see this happen, just gently pull those little pieces out as you're unrolling it'll make your life a lot easier. So don't worry if it does happen, it's very easy to undo so now that the set has cooled down, we're going to go ahead and take out all the sections and you're gon na see just how much body that transforming texturizing cream has left behind in the Hair, it leaves really this beautiful kind of almost powdery texturized finish that just allows all the hair to have a ton of Bounce. So what I wanted to do is go ahead and massage the scalp. This is really gon na help join those sections together plus it feels good for the client too, so now that I've massaged the scalp out, I'm gon na take a wide tooth comb and start brushing out the hair. Now this is a point where some people are scared to really comb and really brush, because they feel like it's gon na, take away all the curl, but remember, hair is a fabric we primed it. We prepped it and now we're able to really comb through their hair and brush it and not lose any of that beautiful foundational style that we built in. So we did a lot of great work to prime and prep the hair. Now, it's time to finish the hair, we're gon na style it and we're gon na be using the dry setting spray. It'S gon na have two levels of hold 15 and 20 because it has a little bit longer. I do want to have a little bit higher hole to help form the shape, so I'm gon na turn it over the 20 to make sure I have enough hold. So not only is it great finishing spray to spray on top of the hair, I personally like to spray it directly onto the brush so that I'm able to really form and shape the waves and the body the way that I like it for a photo. So here we have it the final look, a bada Phi blog, which is a great foundational style for anything else that you want to create now a couple things to remember: hair is a fabric, so don't stretch it out when you want a ton of body, you Want to keep a lot of that you last to sitting in there now.
