On average there’s 12,000 monthly Google searches for ‘blowout tutorial’ – if that’s not clear the hairstyle’s in high demand, we don’t know what is. And lately, all eyes are on social media influencer Bretman Rock and his flawless blowout technique. On TikTok alone, the ‘Bretman Blowout Hair Routine’ has had more than 111 million posts, proving just how eager beauty lovers are to master the look.
Known for its glam finish, the blowout (or blow-dry as us Brits like to call it) can easily be mastered in the comfort of your own home. Want to know how? The experts at Shark Beauty have shared with us this easy, step-by-step guide.
Prep and dry
The first step is to ensure your hair’s well prepped. When wet, apply your preferred styling product, before rough-drying with a hairdryer, leaving it 20 to 30% wet.
Section off
Next, you’ll need to section your hair for styling. It is advised to section your hair into layers at this point.
Style using an oval brush
After your hair’s sectioned, style using an oval brush, placing under the hair at the roots and rolling the brush outwards from roots to ends. For extra volume, brush your hair upwards, too.
Grab your hair tool
If you’re using a Shark FlexStyle (and you oh-so should!) the recommended settings for styling are setting two for heat and two for air. Then set your hair by pressing the cool shot button.
Pump up the volume
Finally, nail the viral Bretman Rock blowout with a wide-tooth comb, combing through each section while pushing your hair outwards for big, bouncy volume. Finish by locking it in place with a generous mist of hairspray.
