There’s nothing quite like the confidence that comes with a flawless, bouncy blowout. While it may seem like a salon-exclusive style, with the right products and technique, you can achieve that signature Neal & Wolf bounce from the comfort of your home. In this step-by-step guide, Laura Elliott, Head of Education at Neäl & Wølf reveals exactly how to create a knockout blowout.
1. Wash hair with nourishing products
Every great hairstyle routine starts in the shower - but choosing the right products for your look is crucial. Choose our AMPLIFY Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner, expertly designed to add body and lift whilst gently cleansing your locks. Infused with wheat proteins and panthenol, AMPLIFY nourishes hair from root to top. Think of hair washing as the first step towards long-lasting volume.
2. Towel dry hair with a microfibre towel
Once you’ve rinsed, softly pat your hair using a microfibre towel. This practical step helps to absorb moisture fast, whilst reducing friction and frizz. Unlike traditional towels, microfibre is kind to delicate strands, helping to reduce breakage, and priming for the hairdryer!
3. Use a mousse or lotion
Next, apply a styling base that builds up volume and body. For a blow dry with more movement, smooth our ELEVATE Volumising Lotion through towel dried hair with a large, round brush. Prefer more structure for a fixed style? Opt for our ENHANCE Volumising Mousse - a lightweight foam that lifts from the roots while offering a silky, natural feel. Either product provides the perfect bounce-building prep for the blow-dry ahead. Or… use both!
4. Add volumising root spray
To make your blowout look best, nurture your roots. Spray UPLIFT Volumising Mist directly at the root of your locks, to deliver instant lift and fullness. Wheat protein and panthenol work in harmony to strengthen and hydrate hair from one of the places it matters most.
5. Divide hair into sections
Sectioning is essential for an even, professional finish. Split your hair into four to six parts using clips, depending on thickness. Working in sections allows you to direct your hair dryer precisely, and prevent missed spots. It also helps to evenly distribute heat protection across your locks.
6. Use a heat protection spray
Before you introduce the heat needed for your bouncy blow dry, protect your strands! Our MIRACLE Rapid Blow-Dry Mist is a built-in guard against heat, and is formulated to cut drying time by up to 50%, so your hair isn’t exposed to harm for as long. A blend of shea butter and avocado oil also works to keep hair hydrated,
7. Blow dry with a round brush
Now it’s time to create the blowdry! For this you’ll need a hairdryer, like our HERØ Ionic Technology Hairdryer which is ultra-quiet and offers fast drying times. Using a large round brush, begin drying one section at a time. Focus on lifting the roots as you guide the brush through to the ends, curling slightly for movement. The goal? Smooth, voluminous hair with body and shape. Take your time - this is where the magic happens.
8. Use the cool shot
Once each section is dry, blast it with the cool shot button on your hairdryer. This simple button seals the cuticle, locks in volume, and adds a lasting, polished shine. A great break from the heat!
9. Boost with texture
For that final touch of volume and modern movement, reach for TEXTURE Dry Finishing Spray. Spray through the mid-lengths and ends to add soft, lived-in texture and boost body. It’s the perfect way to elevate your blowout from beautiful to breathtaking - leaving you with hair that’s full of life, luxurious in feel, and undeniably sophisticated.
10. Lock in your style
To ensure your blowout holds beautifully throughout the day, mist with CONTROL Flexible Styling Spray. This humidity-resistant hairspray provides hold and shine, keeping your volume intact without ever feeling stiff or sticky. Your style, just as you intended - elegant, effortless, and long-lasting.
