Let me start off by saying I am not a salon professional or hair stylist, and most of the time my hair looks rough.  However, I have found this styling method to work wonders for me and I would like to share it with you today.  So, let's begin shall we....

{Reviting graphics ,huh?}

My hair is very thick and wavy and most days the only way to "fix" it is to actually style it with some sort of heated hair tool, only to have to redo said style the next day.  I found a few different tutorials for an at-home salon blowout on Pinterest and sort of combined a few different "pins" into one process.
I wash my hair at night every 2-3 days and use Redken Guts 10 and It's a 10 smoothing balm on my freshly washed hair.  In the winter months, I dry my hair completely before going to bed.  In the warmer months, I either let my hair air dry or lightly dry it to get some of the moisture out.  The next morning is when I style my hair.
The tools: I use Big Sexy Hairspray, giant Velcro rollers, duckbill clips, OGX Blowout Cream, comb, and a 2 inch curling iron from Hot Tools.

First, I clip all of my hair up in sections and starting from the bottom, I curl small sections using the curling iron, then immediately roll it in the Velcro roller.  Sometimes I have to secure the roller with a duckbill pin.



I continue to move up my hair using the same process (curling iron then Velcro roller) until my entire head is in Velcro rollers.

I spray my entire head with hairspray, then let it set for about 10 minutes.  This is usually when I either put on make-up or get Katherine dressed and ready for the day.  This gives my hair time to cool while in the Velcro rollers.  

After I take all of the rollers out of my hair, I put a dime size amount of the blow out cream in my hands and run them through my hair to smooth it out.  I finish it up with one more spritz of hairspray.


All together (when I'm not interupted by a toddler) this process takes me about 10 minutes, making it a great "busy mom" hairstyle.  Plus, it lasts for up to three days without having to restyle it.

To make sure I get the most out of my "blowout," I use amika dry shampoo on days 2-3 and Sexy Hair Powder Play if I need extra volume.  (I literally can't say enough about the Powder Play.  It's amazing.)

So there's my at-home blowout routine.  I will tell you that throughout the process today, I had a toddler at my feet handing me random objects and singing Frozen songs.  But, that's a typical getting ready scenario.
