Section 1: Prepping Your Hair
Getting your hair ready
Before you start straightening your hair, it’s important to ensure that it is clean and dry. Start by washing your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. Once you’ve rinsed out the conditioner, gently towel-dry your hair to remove any excess moisture. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously with the towel, as this can cause frizz.
Applying heat protectant
Heat protectant is a crucial step in any heat styling routine, as it helps to minimize damage caused by the high temperatures of styling tools. Spray a heat protectant evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. The heat protectant creates a barrier between your hair and the straightener, reducing the risk of heat damage.
Drying your hair
For the best results, it’s recommended to dry your hair completely before using the straightener. You can either air dry your hair or use a blow dryer for faster results. If you choose to use a blow dryer, make sure to use a heat protectant spray beforehand and set the dryer to a medium or cool setting to avoid excessive heat exposure.
Sectioning your hair
Sectioning your hair makes it easier to work with and ensures that you can straighten each section thoroughly. Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to divide your hair into sections, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Clip each section with hair clips or hair ties to keep the rest of your hair out of the way while you straighten.
Section 2: Using the Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener
Setting up the straightener
Before using the Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener, make sure it is fully charged or plugged into a power source. Turn on the straightener and allow it to heat up to the desired temperature. The Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener offers different temperature settings, so select the one that works best for your hair type and texture.
Straightening your hair
Once the straightener is heated to the desired temperature, release a section of hair from the clip and comb through it to remove any tangles. Place the straightener close to the roots of the section, and gently glide it down towards the ends, applying even pressure. Repeat this process for each section of hair, making sure to keep the straightener moving to avoid creating a flat, lifeless look.
Creating volume at the roots
To add volume at the roots and achieve a ’90s-inspired blow out, start by lifting the section of hair you’re working on with a fine-toothed comb. Hold the straightener close to the roots, slightly angling it upwards, and gently glide it down towards the ends. This technique will create a subtle lift at the roots, giving your hair a voluminous look.
Adding finishing touches
After you’ve straightened all your hair, take a moment to ensure that each section is evenly straightened. Use a mirror or ask a friend for help to check the back of your head for any missed spots. If you notice any sections that need a touch-up, simply go over them with the straightener. Finally, run your fingers through your hair to separate the strands and add natural movement.
Section 3: Styling Tips for a ’90s-Inspired Blow Out
Choosing the right parting
To achieve a ’90s-inspired blow out, consider a center parting or a deep side parting. Experiment with different partings to see which one compliments your face shape and personal style the best. Using a tail comb, create a precise parting by gently combing the hair in your desired direction. This will help to frame your face and set the foundation for your blow out.
Enhancing shine and smoothness
To enhance the shine and smoothness of your blow out, consider using a lightweight glossing or smoothing serum. Apply a small amount of the serum to your palms and rub them together to distribute it evenly. Then, gently run your palms over your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This will help to tame any frizz and add a beautiful luster to your hair.
Adding accessories
Accessories were a staple of ’90s hairstyling, so don’t be afraid to embrace them in your blow out. Headbands, scrunchies, and hair clips can add a fun and nostalgic touch to your look. Experiment with different styles and colors to find accessories that complement your outfit and enhance your hairdo. Remember, accessories are a great way to express your personal style and make your blow out stand out.
Maintaining the style
To ensure that your ’90s-inspired blow out lasts all day, consider using a lightweight hairspray to set the style. Hold the hairspray about 12 inches away from your head and spray it lightly and evenly over your hair. This will help to keep your hair in place while maintaining its natural movement. If you want to refresh your blow out throughout the day, you can use a dry shampoo or a volumizing spray at the roots to add extra lift and texture.
