1. Introduction
Many of us desire voluminous hair that adds dimension and flair to our overall look. However, achieving that perfect level of volume can often be a challenge. Professional blowouts at salons can be expensive and time-consuming, making it impractical for regular upkeep. Luckily, with the right products and know-how, you can achieve the same results from the comfort of your own home. In this article, we will teach you the step-by-step process of giving yourself a big bouncy blow-dry that will leave your hair looking fabulous.
2. What You Will Need
Before we dive into the details, let's first gather all the necessary tools and products you will need for your big bouncy blow-dry at home. Here's a list of what you will need:
- Schwarzkopf Got2b Volumizing Spray Mousse
- Schwarzkopf Got2b Volumizing Styling Powder
- Heat protection spray
- Hairbrush or comb
- Blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle
- Curling iron or curling wand
- Clips or hairpins
- Hair elastic or scrunchie
Having all these items ready will ensure a smooth and successful blow-drying experience. Now, let's move on to the next step and start preparing your hair.
3. Preparing Your Hair
Before applying any products or heat to your hair, it's essential to ensure that it's clean and detangled. Start by washing your hair with your preferred shampoo and conditioner. Once you've rinsed out the conditioner, gently pat your hair dry with a towel, removing excess moisture. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously, as this can lead to frizz and damage.
Next, apply a heat protection spray to shield your hair from the damaging effects of heat styling. Distribute the spray evenly, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Use a wide-toothed comb or a brush with flexible bristles to detangle your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. This will prevent unnecessary breakage and make the blow-drying process more manageable.
4. Applying the Volumizing Spray Mousse
Now that your hair is prepped and ready, it's time to introduce the star of the show – the Schwarzkopf Got2b Volumizing Spray Mousse. This product will provide your hair with the lift and volume it needs to achieve that bouncy blowout look.
Shake the can of volumizing spray mousse well to ensure that the product is evenly mixed. Instead of directly applying it to your roots, pump a generous amount into your hands. By doing this, you'll have better control over the amount of product you're using. Start by massaging the mousse onto your roots, working your way through the hair, and distributing it evenly.
When applying the volumizing spray mousse, consider the thickness, dryness, and texture of your hair. Fine, silky hair may require less product, while thicker hair can handle more. Remember, it's better to start with less and add more if needed. The goal is to achieve a balance between not using enough and using too much product.
Once the mousse is applied, it's time to move on to the next step – blow-drying your hair for maximum volume.
5. Blow-Drying Techniques for Maximum Volume
To achieve maximum volume, it's crucial to use the right techniques when blow-drying your hair. Start by flipping your hair forward, so you're essentially upside down. This position will encourage gravity to work in your favor and create lift at the roots.
Using a blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle attachment, begin drying your hair, focusing on the roots. Use your fingers or a vented brush to lift and separate the strands, directing the airflow towards the roots. Continue blow-drying until your hair is about 80-90% dry. Towards the end of the process, switch to the cold air setting to cool down your hair and set the lift.
For added volume, split your hair into two sections: the back and the front. When drying the back section, curl the hair away from your face, using the same technique of lifting and directing the airflow towards the roots. Once the back section is dry, move on to the front. This time, curl the hair towards your face, twisting the strands as you dry to create a voluminous effect.
Repeat these steps for each section of your hair until all of it is dry and styled. The blow-drying process may take some time, but the results will be worth it. You'll notice increased volume and bounce as you move on to the next stage – curling your hair.
6. Curling Your Hair for Extra Body
To enhance the body and texture of your hair even further, it's time to add some curls. This step will help create additional volume and a glamorous, bouncy look. Grab your curling iron or curling wand, taking sections of hair about 1-2 inches wide.
Starting from the back of your head, curl the hair away from your face. Ensure you maintain the same vertical angle when curling your hair, lifting the strands away from your head as you go. This will add height and prevent the curls from falling flat. Continue curling the back sections, alternating between curling away and towards your face to create a natural, voluminous look.
Once you've finished the back sections, move on to the front. This time, curl the hair towards your face to frame it. Remember to lift the strands away from your head and maintain a consistent angle for each curl. By curling the hair in different directions, you'll achieve a more dynamic and voluminous hairstyle.
7. Using Volumizing Powder for Added Lift
Now that your hair is beautifully curled and full of volume, it's time to take it up a notch with some volumizing powder. This magical product will provide that extra lift and grip to your hair, giving it an amplified and textured appearance.
Apply a small amount of volumizing powder directly to your roots. Use your fingers to massage the powder into the hair, gently rubbing it in to create lift. You'll immediately feel the difference as the powder adds grip and texture to your locks. This step is especially beneficial for those with fine, slippery hair, as it helps the hair hold its shape and maintain volume throughout the day.
8. Final Touches and Styling Tips
Congratulations! You've successfully given yourself a big bouncy blow-dry at home. Now, it's time to add those final touches and perfect your hairstyle. Here are some styling tips to keep in mind:
- Gently shake out your hair to loosen the curls and create a more effortless, tousled look.
- Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to separate and tousle the curls for added volume and texture.
- Flip your head upside down and give your hair a light mist of flexible hold hairspray to set the style and ensure long-lasting volume.
- Avoid touching your hair too much throughout the day to prevent the curls from becoming limp.
By following these styling tips, your big bouncy blow-dry will last longer and continue to turn heads wherever you go.
