How to Strengthen Blowout Hairstyles

Video Transcript

I'm Amelia Smith and on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to talk to you about how to do the perfect blowout. Earlier I was discussing how the cool button, which is this little button, sometimes it's blue on blow dryers, sometimes it's larger, sometimes is smaller, but always make sure that you find a blower that has one. Earlier I was discussing how important it was. When you're drying your hair, water and heat basically break the bonds in the hair. So that's why rollers and curlers and brushes and even curling irons work because they initially break the bond and then the bond is reformed once it's curled or dried and it holds the shape of whatever it's been curled in. So the cool shot is an easy way for us to sort of, if you will, lock in that curl. So first, whenever you're trying to lock in that curl, you want to make sure that you really heat that piece of hair up. The hair does not have to be wet, it can be dry. You heat it up and then hit your cool shot button or you can just let it air cool. The air cooling is going to take a little bit longer. So right now I'm breaking the bonds of the hair. I'm really heating up. It's, also my brush has a metal center so that's acting as a curling iron as well. And now I'm going to hit the cool button and let it cool. That will also help close down that cuticle, or should I say, help compress the cuticle and add shine. And then I just brush that out and as you can see we have a nice curl. So that cool button is very important and it's going to help give your hairstyle support and hold. And along with the hair products you'll be able to have your hair smooth and with body and bounce all day.
