What You'll Need

G&C Blowout Brush (or Mini Blowout Brush for shorter hair)
G&C Heat Protectant Spray
• Hair clips for sectioning
• 8–10 minutes

The 10-Minute Salon Blowout Method

1Start with 80% Dry Hair

Towel-dry until damp, not dripping. The blowout brush works best on hair that's about 80% dry. Short on time? Quick rough-dry on Low heat for 2 minutes first.

Apply G&C Heat Protectant

2Apply Heat Protectant

Spray evenly through hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. This creates a barrier that prevents heat damage while adding shine. Don't skip this — it's the difference between healthy hair and fried hair.

3Section Your Hair

Clip the top half up. Work bottom sections first, then release top layers. Thick hair: 3–4 sections. Fine hair: 2 sections is enough.

4Brush from Root to Tip

Take a 5cm section, place the brush underneath close to roots. Slowly roll and pull through to ends. The key is slow and steady — one smooth pass beats five fast ones.

5Add Volume at the Crown

For top sections, lift hair upward and roll the brush under at roots. Hold 3–5 seconds, then release. This creates the volume that makes a salon blowout look different from regular drying.

6Finish the Ends

Wrap ends around the brush and hold for a few seconds for that signature salon "flip." For sleeker finish, pull straight through without wrapping.

Pro tip: Use Medium heat on roots (where you want volume) and Low heat on ends (more delicate). This mimics what professional stylists do in salons.
