At-Home Blowout Curly Hair: Curly To Straight Voluminous Blowout

He showed you what's up long time no see. I have been tired. I'Ve been growing up. My brows surviving upon the replay healing my acne slash mask knee working going to school, trying to do laundry trying just i'm just trying to survive out here so finally decided to film me doing my blowout. I love being able to do my own blowouts. It was hard for me to figure it out and get it down packed. I'Ve been doing my own blowouts, all of lockdown like pretty much every week. I can do it in less than an hour and i love it. I love the fact that i could do it. I want to put everybody on every curly girl on to being able to do your own blowout, because it's so easy. Like trust me, i thought it was hard too, but once i once i figured it out, it just got better. It just got over time. Things just got better, they got easier, and here we are sharing my tips and tricks with you and that is so lame. So i did my hair last night, i slept with it in a bun, and today i put my hair back in a headband and put in a little bun, and i went to work had a hat on at work, and that's it that's how this is on. My hair looks let's get into what the heck i do. Last night, when i washed my hair um, i used a more like clarifying shampoo, got it real clean. I conditioned it rinsed that out and then i deep conditioned it and then i let it towel dry, not towel dry. I always use a cotton t-shirt to dry my hair because they say using towels causes breakage, so i've always for years, just dried. My hair, with a t-shirt when i am ready to take my hair out of the t-shirt, i go ahead and i spray in a leave-in um, i'm trying a new one mellie. I don't know white peony, leave-in conditioner uh spray, this in and then i um. You know brush it through. You know what to do. You put leave it in your hair and then, after that, i've been using this whole time. The l'oreal blow dry, it thermal smoother cream. It'S a heat, protectant plus it helps the brush, go through the hair, really smooth your round brush doesn't snag, so it just makes doing the blow drying super easy and it's super lightweight like it doesn't feel sticky. That'S what i like about this. It'S almost like watery like just watery and silky, which i like i hate, sticky hair products. Then i start blow drying my hair, so the things you need to blow dry hair, like the tools you need, is a round brush. So the first brush that i ever got was this one: it's a revlon brush and it was ceramic, but if you look at it like, the coating has worn off. So i just wanted to see if i could like commit to blowing blow drying my hair before i spent a lot of money on a round brush, so i used this. I got used to it. I practiced and i wanted a bigger one. I wanted a better quality one and i wanted it to be bigger. So i got this one from ulta. It'S a olivia garden ceramic um round brush, but it's the biggest it's the biggest one. I think number eight. It says sun. I like this brush so much, but the problem is it's too big, so i need the one that's in between these two, which is frustrating because i i just want to have one brush, but whatever i have curly frizzy dry hair. So i just find using a ceramic brush versus like versus like one of these type of brushes like the bristle brushes, your hair will go through so much more smoother, it'll look smoother, it's just a better, better thing for me, but you need a round brush and Then obviously you need a blow dryer, so i had another hot tools: blow dryer. It was just a full-size blow dryer and it only had two heat settings, but it was just too big for my hand too heavy, and i wanted more speeds which i'll tell you why in a second, but i wanted a mini blow dryer. So i found this one in marshalls or tj maxx and it has high medium low heat and then it has high and low speed and it has a cool shot and it had it came with the nozzle. I really wanted like a full power, but smaller blow. Dryer and i love hot tools - hair stuff, so i'm glad i found this. It was only like 30 bucks, which is real cute um after i put the products in i'll. Let my hair air dry for a little while, like maybe the most an hour, because with curly hair, to keep it like smooth and straight you wanna dry it that way. You don't wan na. Let it dry curly because then to smooth it out, it's going to be so much work and you have to put like more heat on it. I find so i just let it dry a little bit a little bit like i feel like on typical blowout tutorials. They tell you let your hair dry, like 80. I feel like if you're curly, hair, like lay your hair dry like 15, like just a little just so like your ends, are a little bit dry. Okay, so i split my hair from my ears in half or like what do i do. I go like this something you'll see i split my hair in half and then i'll tie the whole top part up. So then i section off my hair and the bottom. Half i split in two, so sex sectioning is a thing that people get confused about. It doesn't need to be perfect. At least i thought it needed to be perfect. It doesn't like it's really not that serious. Once you figure out like how you have to hold the brush, then your sections don't really matter the important thing about your sections. Is they can't be too small and they can't be too big? Because when you, when the your hair is around the brush, you want like enough hair that the brush can have some kind of tension and grip the hair, but not too much that it gets stuck and not too much that, like the heat, will be touching. The top of your hair, but the section is so thick that the bottom of your hair doesn't get the heat you understand. So you have to learn the type of sections you want. What i like to start on is the root of my hair and make sure that is dry because that'll stay wet and that's where you'll get like the poofiness, and it won't look straight so the key to getting your roots dry and straight. This is why i like more heat settings, because when i only had two heat settings on my last blow dryer the low setting was too weak, like it wasn't hot enough to dry my hair and then the hotter one was too hot that it would like burn. My hands burn my scalp, so to do my roots, especially i like to use the medium on my blow dryer, it gets everything dry without burning anything, and that's why i love it so to do your roots, you basically need to build tension right. You have to pull your roots straight, so how you can do it is. You can put your brush on top roll the hair over the brush and then i'll hold it like this, because it's just easier and you're pulling like it's smooth here and then you take your blow dryer and you just point the air. There point it get it dry, like you, will you'll figure out how long it takes to get dry and then what you could do is make sure this area is dry because you don't want dry, wet dry, that's going to make more frizz and poofiness. So you make sure this is dry and then you can pull down and keep doing it and then to get like that. Really sleek look you're. Twisting your brush you're twisting your brush. You can practice doing it with two hands and then you'll figure out how to do it. A lot of people also say, like i don't know how to do blow outs, because the hair gets stuck so the thing with using a round brush once the the end. So hold on once this end of hair, once it wraps around one full time, it's not gon na. Really, it's gon na be harder to move down. You see where my end is and it's holding more tension, but when it wraps around more times like it's harder to pull, you ha. If you want it, keep doing this, you have to figure out like tension and just don't wrap it too many times. If you do get it wrapped too many times, just roll it down and you'll be good, like you're, safe um. Another way that i like to dry my roots, it's a little bit easier on my hands is i'll. Take the section and i'll wrap it like. I said, and now i can hold it like this and it's just a little bit easier again and then i'll hold the brush like this. So that's basically what i do for all my sections. I do. I have very thick hair, so i'll do the bottom: half i'll do this middle section i'll do the two sides and then i'll do the main part, and since i just have these two and neither is perfect, i just use both of them. Whatever hair is like really dry and frizzy, and just not like smoothing down it, needs a little help. I'Ll put my blow dryer on high put it on high smooth it through and then it'll make everything look nice. Another thing: if i'm doing this section and i'm just like blow drying it over and over and over here, there can be times where, like over here, isn't dry, so i'll flip it over and just do it. This way make sure all the sides of your hair is dry. That'S what's going to give you long-lasting, blow-out results make sure everything is dry, because if you leave any piece of hair wet, it's going to be poofy and sometimes like. I don't even go that hard on my blowouts. Sometimes i do leave my roots like a little bit wet just because i'm tired, i don't have the time, and you know i rock with that. It is what it is. Is foreign foreign, foreign foreign me foreign? Another thing i like to do is since i do i have to do so many sections. Sometimes the ends could be pointing in different directions or not look right. So i'll just take a group of sections and smooth it over with the high heat, real, quick, so they're just going all the same way, and that's it. That'S that's how i do my hair i'll then like when i finish i'll put some oil in my ends. Right yeah, that's it that's how i blow dry, my hair. It lasts me a week, i'm too lazy, so it has to last me longer i'll re-blow dry, my bangs or my ends, or something like that. If i need to oh and i use um satin scrunchies satin scrunchies are so good, especially if you have like lightened colored, hair, damaged, hair, weak hair, brittle hair, dry hair, get silk or satin scrunchies, especially if, like i have to tie my hair up for work. All the time, so it just helps your hair from snagging. I have velcro rollers, but i just haven't really used them like that. I used to in high school do my bangs with velcro rollers every single morning, and i think that's it. I hope that's it. I hope we don't forget anything cool if you blow out your hair show me tag me on instagram. I love putting on people on to blow drying their hair like being able to do your own blowout. I feel, like that's a new step new level in life and if i can help any shorty out there to like reach that level, then, like my day, is made, so i'm a bounce as always. Thank you so much for spending time with me and you
