Transcript
00:03On the water?
00:03Yes, on the water. Not on the water. On the water.
00:06On the water.
00:08Oh, okay.
00:11I love, love, love getting blowouts.
00:13They're my favorite thing ever, but I'm so bad at doing them at home.
00:16So today, I'm going to learn. I'm going to double-dare myself.
00:18It's time to master the blowouts.
00:21What are your fears or your worries about blowing out your hair?
00:24I mean, I'm just really bad at it.
00:26Like I can't manipulate the round brush in the way that it doesn't get tangled or just like all the
00:31hair falls out.
00:32And then I hold the hair dryer and how long am I doing this? How do I put this attachment
00:36on?
00:36What is this attachment that has the flat thing? I don't know anything about it.
00:40Alright, so what we'll try to do is we'll try to simplify this for you and we'll break it down.
00:43And maybe hopefully we can make it a little easier for you.
00:45Okay.
00:45Okay.
00:46Take the top section from about here. Pin this up.
00:49Take the next section right around about from the middle to the back of the ear. Pin that back too.
00:54So what you're going to do is you're going to bring it with your fingers in the mirror.
00:57Take a little section.
00:58And then take this root bruising spray and spray right along the root.
01:02I hope I don't spray you.
01:04Ah!
01:05Okay.
01:06Okay.
01:07Now you can just pull your section down and just run your fingers through it a little bit.
01:11Now the product is down at the base of the hair.
01:13And it's ready for blowing out.
01:15At the bottom section, instead of using the brush, a round brush trying to go behind your head,
01:20a flat paddle brush will work if you pull it from the side.
01:23You'll still get body in there.
01:25Very nice.
01:26Now you're going to do the same thing with the middle section.
01:29All you have to do is use the paddle brush as well and you can get the same effect.
01:32Try to hold the dryer down and pull down at the same time.
01:35And now we're working on the top section.
01:37We're going to be using the round brush.
01:39Oh my god.
01:40Okay.
01:40You can do it.
01:41What you're going to do is you're going to take the round brush and you're going to
01:43pull it underneath the hair, bring it to the base, and pull it a little tight.
01:47Now you're going to take the blow dryer and you're going to use it at an angle like this.
01:51Hold it here and then pull down.
01:54Okay.
01:54You're going to grab the back section from here.
01:56Take the round brush and you're going to do the same exact thing you did on the sides.
02:00You're going to pull up a little bit and then pull down and out.
02:03I think I look well rounded.
02:06Thank you so much for teaching me.
02:08My pleasure.
02:08That was really fun and thanks for watching Refinery29.
