How to create the ultimate Bouncy Blow Dry for going out out
Step 1: Wash and prep your hair
The key to every good hair look is in the preparation. If you want the ultimate bouncy blow dry, we recommend using the Aveda Pure Abundance Volumising Duo- Shampoo & Conditioner to add bounce and body. If you suffer from dry ends or just want an ultra-glossy finish, coat your strands in the Sebastian Professional Dark Hair Styling Oil. Infused with UV protection, you can also enjoy your day in the sun carefree (English weather permitting). To finish off your hair prep and give your roots the ultimate boost, we love using the Percy & Reed The Perfect Blow Dry Makeover Spray. Simply spritz over your damp tresses to help tame frizz and give you a perfectly smooth shape and style.

Step 2: Curl with your straighteners
If you’re after a quick fix to create your salon-worthy curls, we recommend taking your favourite straightener and sectioning off your hair. The ghd Platinum+ White Straighteners are designed to protect your locks using a consistent temperature of 185°C to help avoid damage and split ends. Once you’ve found your trusty tool, take one section of hair and twist around your straightener. Once it’s secured, gently pull it down your strand and stop just before you get to the tip so your curls lie more natural.

Step 3: Wrap it up in rollers
Now that you’ve got your perfect curl, you want to pop it into a roller to give it extra volume and to make sure it lasts all day long. The T3 Volumising 1.25 Inch Hot Rollers are great for creating big bouncy waves. Simply start at the bottom of your hot curl and wrap it all the way up going towards your hair line. If you’re in a rush or want to use less heat on your hair you can also just wrap up your fresh curls with a clip for the same result. To ensure your look lasts from dawn till dusk, set them in place with a generous spritz of the OUAI Volumizing Hairspray.

Step 4: Set your new style
Now that you’ve got your fresh-out-the-salon curls, it’s time to set them in place for your day ahead. For best results, we recommend leaving them in your rollers for 2 hours then brushing them out gently once cooled. The Denman D81M Medium Finishing Brush with Mixed Bristle is gentle on your tresses and ensures your style still stays in place. Finish off your look with the Fudge Professional Skyscraper Light/Medium Hold Hair Spray to ensure your bouncy blow dry takes centre stage all day.
