hey guys welcome back to my channel today I want to share with you my
updated blowout routine I just love the appearance of my hair after I've used a
round brush I just love how it leaves my hair feeling so soft and bouncy and of
course I love the added volume so I thought I'd share with you all my tips
and tricks and little secrets I have to easily create a salon blow back home
with minimum damage to your hair so I've been using these KareCo thermal round
brushes to blow-dry my hair so we decided to partner up for this video and
if you stay tuned till the end there's going to be a giveaway for you guys so
if you want to have to do this blowout then keep on watching I like to start
off with freshly washed towel dried hair and I'm just going to apply my Briogeo
blossom and bloom volumizing spray throughout my hair focusing it
mostly on my roots then we're going to spray the mid shafts of my hair and ends
with my Garnier 5 and 1 Spray to help with the de-tangling of my knots if
you're going to be round brushing your hair you need to detangle it first since
your hair is weakest one it's wet you want to make sure you're using a good
tangling brush design for wet hair you'll want one with flexible bristles
like this KareCo tangle Buster's not only other bristles flexible but the
actual paddle itself is as well which really helps to minimize snagging and
breakage when you're brushing or styling your hair I try to let my hair air dry
to about 90% before I blow it out but sometimes I just don't have the time so
I just blow-dry it while I'm brushing my hair just to speed things up but if your
hair is on the curlier side I would recommend letting your hair only dry to
about 60% now that my hair is about 90% dry I'm going to go ahead and just
section it off right above my ears and clip that section out of the way so we
can start blow drying since I have longer hair I'm first going to go in
with the larger style 3" round brush I love this brush you guys
because not only does it give me that added volume at the root but because it
is a medium-sized barrel it's also going to give you that really nice pretty flow
wave as well a little bit of a curl on the end quick tip when you are
looking for a round brush I would recommend finding one with a nice
aluminum or ceramic barrel going to give you that nice soft smooth finish and you
also want to find one that has a vented dome and barrel what this is going to do
for you is it evenly distributes the heat that way you're not damaging your
hair and my favorite thing is it speeds up the drying time if you've ever done
a blowout on yourself you know that it takes forever and it's a lot of work on
your arms so I love that so when you are working with sections a good rule of
thumb is to make sure that your sections are no wider than your round brush that
way the round brush is picking up all the hair which is going to keep tension
on it which will keep it nice and straight and reduce the frizz
I always want my brush in my dominant hand mostly because my right arm is
stronger no but what I'm going to do is I first place it up near the root here
and lift it and then I direct the heat upwards and I do this about two to three
times just to ensure that that root is very dry and directing the root upwards
is also going to help create volume and lift in your hair so once I've got my
roots what I like to do next is ensure that my hair is dry from all directions
so what I'll do is I'll alternate placing my brush in front and behind my
section of hair and what I'm going to brush down my hair I'm slightly twisting
the brush down the section so that the brush can grab new hair and let go of
the dry hair without getting tangled also make sure that your nozzle is
pointed it's down the shaft of your hair this will close the cuticle and give you
that nice smooth soft finish as you can see what a difference blowing
out your hair can make like even look at the volume on this side compared to the
lymp Ness and frizz on this side but I just going to do a one final step to add
a little more body and movement into my hair I like to add a little twist to my
sections to create some more movement so I placed my brush behind my section and
then I twist the head of the barrel in a circle 360 degrees to create a twist
I'll show you again notice that my handle is always pointing down and I'm
twisting my brush with my wrist in a complete circle and then I continued
that same technique all the way until I reach the bottom of my section so then
once I've twisted and created a little cyclone in my hair I'm just going to
leave it here to cool and don't touch it until we're done and then another thing
you can do if you have a hard time creating that cyclone in your hair what
you can do is just slide your fingers all the way to the ends and you just
want to wrap it all the way up to the root and then you can just pin it
against your head so I'm just going to go ahead and repeat it on this side and
show you guys how to do it one more time starting out placing my round brush
underneath my section and directing my nozzle up to help create that volume and
lift and I'll also go back to my roots in between drying the rest of my section
just to insure that they aren't completely dry or else your hair can
turn frizzy throughout the day I know this can feel like a lot of information
but really you just want to show that your hair is dry from all directions
especially if you have curly hair so just alternate placing your brush
underneath your section and on top of your section and you'll always want to
direct your nozzles down the shaft and keep tension to give you that nice
smooth sleek finish so now this section is dry and I have major volume a big
group I'm just going to do that twist one more time so what you want to do is
place your round brush behind your section and then start blow drying this
side is much easier for me so same technique as the other side try keeping
your handle pointed down and twist the head of the barrel in a complete circle
to create a twist in your hair I like to twist the barrel away from my face so
that the curls are all going away so there you go I just want to let these
cool and then I'm going to show you guys how I blow dry the rest of my head for
my next section I just section it off just below my temples and then secure
the rest of my hair out of the way so same thing is before make sure that your
sections are no larger than your barrel just to ensure that you get a nice
smooth finish so again add the volume into your roots and just blow dry your hair
straight down you don't want to focus too much on your ends and try not to put
your nozzles directly onto the bristles they are made of nylon so they won't
melt but it can be quite damaging to your hair so these sections are
completely dried lifted and twisted I'm going to go ahead and continue the same
steps off the side of my head I'm going to stop when I get to the top because my
technique and brush of choice today is a little bit different the top I do a
little bit different and for some reason it's my favorite part to do and I think
it's because it means the end is near I recommend working in horizontal sections
to really give you the most volume to do this I love to use the jumbo styler
which is four inches round I always wanted a round brush this big and it's
quickly become a favorite for creating that body and I love it I can grab on to
a lot more hair than these smaller brushes because of how large the barrel
is so repeating the same steps as before alternating the placement of my brush
and once it's dry I'm just creating the twists down the section to help create
that soft curl away from my face and probably one of the most important
sections is the crown of your head this is all the hair that falls backwards so
you want to make sure that you're really over directing that
to create lots of volume so once you're done blow drying it try your best not to
touch it and you just want to let it cool for about another 10 to 15 minutes
but I do like to lock mine in with a light mist of strong hold hairspray and
then you just want to gently fluff out your twist so there you have you guys
that's how easy it is to achieve and at home blowout this will usually last me
about two days and then I usually end up curling it I'll freshen it up with some
dry shampoo and then I wash it or repeat the process all over again but I hope

know that round brushing used to be very difficult for me
I used to constantly get the round brush stuck in my hair just ripping out my
hair I had the hardest time but I kept practicing and I finally figured it out
so if you're having a hard time keep going also what I would recommend is
maybe starting with a paddle brush like this one first just until you get the
movement down could even try with your blow dryer off just until you're used to
everything but I really hope that you enjoyed this video and found it helpful
