Blowout 101: The Products Pros Swear By
Want your blowout to actually last longer than your iced latte? It all comes down to the products you’re using. With the right lineup, your blowout can go from “meh” to major — lasting days, staying smooth, and giving that “just stepped out of the salon” look... even if you’re just stepping out of your bathroom.
Below is the exact blowout routine I use on clients in my Toronto studio. These are the real-deal products that work across hair types — whether your hair is fine, thick, frizzy, or gets oily faster than you can say dry shampoo.
Pro tip: Not sure what your hair type is? Take my Hair Care Quiz and I’ll tell you exactly what products suit you best.
Let’s break it down step-by-step.
The foundation of any great blowout? Clean, weightless hair.
My go-to shampoo and conditioner:
Redken Cleansing Cream Shampoo
A deep detox that removes buildup without stripping moisture. Perfect before heat styling.Redken All Soft Conditioner
Softens, hydrates, and leaves your strands silky — never flat.
Rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle and boost shine.
Don’t skip this step — it’s the insurance policy for your blowout.
Use:
Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother
Strengthens, smooths flyaways, protects from heat, and gives your style longevity without greasiness.
Time to get personal. This is where the magic happens ✨
For fine or flat hair:
Redken Root Lifter Spray Foam
Boosts volume without stickiness.Design.Me Puff.Me Dry Texture Spray
Adds airy hold, body, and grip without weighing hair down.
For thick, frizzy, or coarse hair:
Color Wow Bombshell Blowout Spray
Smooths texture, speeds up blow-dry time, and gives mega shine.Sexy Hair Shine Spray
Finishes with gloss while taming frizz.
Oily scalp? Skip the oil-based products for now and start with a dry texture spray.
Technique makes a difference — and it doesn’t need to be complicated.
Use a ceramic round brush to build volume.
Always point the nozzle downward for a sleeker finish.
Seal it all with the cool shot — it locks in your shape and shine.
Your blowout deserves a strong finish.
For silky ends + frizz control:
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil
Lightweight and super concentrated — a little goes a long way.
