Shark Blow Dryer Brush Complete Guide: How to Get Salon Hair at Home
Trying to dry thick hair all at once leads to half-damp roots and frizzy crowns. A professional salon blowout at home relies on disciplined sectioning. Begin by misting clean, towel-dried hair with a silicone-free heat protectant spray rated up to at least 400°F.
Rough-dry the hair using the standard concentrator nozzle or the FlexStyle's bent configuration until the entire head is roughly 80% dry. Your strands should feel cool and slightly damp to the touch, not dripping. Divide your hair into four clean quadrants: split down the middle from forehead to nape, then part horizontally from ear to ear. Secure three quadrants with sturdy crocodile clips, leaving one lower section loose.
Take two-inch sub-sections within the active quadrant. Place the volumizing oval brush directly beneath the root, hold for two seconds to activate lift, then glide down the shaft with slow, deliberate tension. Rotate your wrist 180 degrees as you reach the final three inches to wrap the ends around the curved perimeter. Once the section is dry, hold down the cool shot button for five to seven seconds before releasing the coil. The sudden drop in temperature locks the hair's temporary hydrogen bonds into place.
