Elle Woods Blowout?
Our take

| So I work at Ulta Beauty and have accumulated a good chunk of points, planning to save them all for either a big shopping spree or expensive hair tool. Since I'm someone who doesn't typically do much with their hair outside of the shower and the salon, I felt getting a fancy hair tool probably wasn't the best bet for me. But recently I've been wanting to start blowing out my hair at home, specifically to get the look of Elle Woods' iconic blowout. Since my expertise is more in skincare and makeup, I was hoping someone who's good with hair would be able to tell me what I'll need to achieve that look at home? Specifically tools, products, and general technique. I'm willing to buy an expensive hair tool, so if anyone has recommendations please lmk! Dyson, Shark, Drybar, etc. For reference: I have 2B waves and high porosity hair! [link] [comments] |

- Dry, dull hair when straightened — is a salon blowout worth it? (first time)Hi everyone, I have long, thick 2C-ish wavy/curly hair. I like my natural curls as they look healthier but they get frizzy and annoying after a couple days, so I’ve been trying to switch things up and get a smoother, salon-style blowout look. I also feel like it'd be a game-changer. My issue is my hair always ends up looking dry, dull, and puffy, especially when I straighten it. I’ve tried heat protectant, oil, small sections, chase method, etc. and it still doesn’t come out shiny or smooth/sleek like I want it to. I lowkey gave up doing it myself... not to mention the amount of time it takes. I’m thinking of going to a salon for the first time for a blowout or something related but I'm not even sure (no dye, no extensions, nothing permanent) and maybe a trim since my ends feel dry. I had a few questions: Is a salon blowout actually worth it for this kind of hair? Will it realistically give that smooth, shiny “healthy blowout” look, or is that unrealistic? Does it actually improve how your hair looks/feels over time or is it just styling? Should I slowly start learning to use a round brush myself instead of relying on salons right away? How often do people usually go to the salon for blowouts like this? I’m even considering going monthly if it helps, but I’m not sure if that’s normal or worth it. Would really appreciate honest advice, especially from people with similar hair types. submitted by /u/MedicalSky26 [link] [comments]
- Dryer Hair Brush RecommendationI currently use a traditional curler, and I think I'm outgrowing it. I want to start getting that blowout look with defined loose curls. I know Dyson is the one to rule them all, but I don't want to blow that much. I have fine and medium-thin hair. I would like a brush that blow-dries on 80% wet hair. Budget is $ 100- $ 200 CAD. Reddit, please recommend which one to get! submitted by /u/Trishfish196 [link] [comments]
- Blowout hair tool that doesn't easily get tangled in thick hair?I just treated myself to the Shark Glam for my birthday, and I love it...mostly. The Glossi blowout tool easily gets tangled in my thick hair, even when I try to use it in smaller sections. Is anyone aware of a hair tool that I can use for a blowout look that doesn't easily tangle? Perhaps a brush head that has less bristles? TIA! submitted by /u/A-J-1-4-0-2 [link] [comments]
