How do I get a salon blow out at home?

[Deleted]

Specifically, why is my hair so much softer at the salon than at home? I have curly hair but I can get a good blow out with a round brush but I don't use products. Anyone care to share their product recommendations?

Might be your dryer, salon dryers move a LOT of air. What kind of dryer do you have?

Product-wise, I just use leave-in conditioner w/ heat protectant like It's a 10 or similar.

I agree with PP that it's probably the dryer.

Every product used at salons can be used at home. You can buy the same dryers, irons and products. Ask your stylist what she uses.

I noticed a huge improvement in my hair when i bought a professional blow dryer, well worth the money.

Blowdryers and products make a difference.

I've also noticed my stylist uses a lower temperature when she does my blowouts. The result is so much softer and shinier than the high temp seeing I use at home. It already takes a while for my hair to dry; I just don't have the time to do that at home.

I use a Sedu Revolution blow dryer. I let my hair air dry while I'm doing my makeup. Then I spray Kenra Blow Dry spray all over my hair and section/pin my hair up in about 5 different sections. I take one section down and dry it with a large round brush; I make to to ensure the section is completely dry before starting on the next section. This process takes me about 22-25 minutes for my long hair.

Then after my hair is dry I section it up again in 5 sections, spray each section with AG Firewall and then either do a flat iron or 1.25" Hot Tools curling iron through it. Then I finish it off with Suave flexible hairspray. My hair routine take about 40 minutes, hence why I only wash and dry it 2x per week.

I started using Wella LuxeOil Reconstructive Elixir and it has made a HUGE difference in my home blow outs.
