Everyone loves the look and feel of a fresh blowout — but not everyone has the time to dedicate to making it happen. However, with a few essential tips and product picks, you no longer have to sacrifice time (or counter space) to get a bombshell blowout. Below we’re detailing the top tips to speed up your blowout.

1. Start with the right shampoo and conditioner

Getting the perfect blowout requires more than just clean hair. You need properly prepped hair to ensure smooth results with just the right amount of volume. For best results, shampoo the hair at least twice to remove oil and product buildup and concentrate the conditioner on your mid-lengths to ends. Most hair types will want to avoid heavy conditioners or masks, which is especially pertinent for fine and thin hair types. For this reason, we love Aloxxi Bombshell Shampoo and Conditioner. With the ability to add instant body, strength, and volume, this duo is ideal for all hair types and provides the hydration you need without weighing the hair down. Plus, it helps reduce dry time! 

2. Use products to speed up dry time

Finding products that reduce your dry time is essential! This is where bombshell saves the day. Bombshell Shampoo and Conditioner contain lightweight Sugar Starch that helps absorb moisture, so hair dries faster. With a proven faster rate of drying, Bombshell Shampoo and Conditioner are ideal before every blowout.

3. Multi-benefit products with heat protection are a must 

Finding product lines that work together to deliver the results you’re after saves time and space. You don’t need a ton of products to get a perfect blow-dry. You just need the right products. After prepping hair with Bombshell Shampoo and Conditioner, follow with Bombshell Volumizing Grip Styler Spray, Bombshell Shine Mist, or both! Both feature heat protection qualities making them a must-have before any style. 

If you’re looking for volume and texture, and style memory without the sticky or crunchy feeling, apply Bombshell Volumizing Grip Styler Spray before your blow-dry. This will also protect that hair against heat damage from blow-dryers, curling irons or flat irons up to 450˚F. For more intense results, spray in dry hair where you want extra oomph!

If you’re looking for brilliant shine and smooth, frizz-free results — reach for Bombshell Shine Mist. Superfine and weightless, this styler will add UV and heat protection up to 450˚F, and smooth flyaways for glossy, polished results.

4. Rough dry

Remove moisture from the hair by rough drying strands first. This can help cut down on dry time while also reducing damage. For finer hair types, aim to dry about 80% before working with a brush. For more textured or coarse hair types, consider aiming to dry to about 50-60% before beginning. 

5. Focus on sections

After prepping the hair, it only takes a few planned steps to ensure perfection. Investing in sectioning clips to keep hair in clean, organized sections is one of those key steps. By working in a single section at a time, the process is not only easier to manage, but your results will also be smoother. Pro-tip: dry your front hairline or bang area first to perfect your style right from the start. 

6. Set your style

After achieving the perfect blow-dry, you’ll want to keep it that way! Outside elements can easily cause volume to drop or hair to frizz. While you’ll have a fighting chance by prepping hair with the above steps, adding another quick spritz of Bombshell Volumizing Grip Styler Spray or Bombshell Shine Mist will lock in your style for the long run.
