MM Favorite Things - How to get the perfect blow-out...every time!


I have HORRIBLE hair, so I have to work really hard to try and make it look better than it really is.
Here are some of my secrets! 

My hair is fine, thin, and really unmanageable; but with some patience and lots of thickening products & hair spray,
I can achieve that perfect blow-out look!

Step 1: 
Make sure you use a thickening shampoo and a hydrating conditioner.  Only apply the conditioner to tips,
​ so it won't weigh down your hair later.

Step 2: 
Towel dry your hair the best you can.  Use a pick or wide toothed comb to detangle (fine hair and long hair tend to tangle more easily). Now it's time to apply the product. Use a thickening spray, root boost, and volumizing mouse. Layers, layers, layers. 
Make sure you get close to the root of your hair and work it in with your fingers.

Step 3: 
Break out the hairdryer! Flip your head over and dry your hair on medium heat until it's damp . 
This may not be the most comfortable position, but, trust me, it makes ALL the difference!

Step 4: 
Now, divide your hair into three sections: bottom, middle, top. Grab your round brush, turn up the heat to high and begin drying your hair in sections no larger than the width of the brush. The larger the brush the better the lift!

Step 5: 
Repeat step 4  for all three sections of hair. Use the self stick rollers to add extra volume to the top layer. Divide your hair into strips the same width of rollers. Roll your hair and apply high heat from the hair dryer for a few seconds per roller. Let cool for 5-10 minutes then remove.

Step 6: 
Hair spray!! Once you have your hair parted and adjusted to the position that you like, apply hair spray! The more the better! Apply different types and in layers - let each shot of spray dry before applying the next. 


Also, try using dry shampoo to add volume and texture!
