Want That Perfect Blowout?


Some of the trendiest styles of the year, such as the bob and the lob are popping up on some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and the key to these iconic looks begin with the perfect blowout. Here is how to do it!

Blowout 101:

1. Moisturize – Apply Organix shampoo generously to wet hair, massage into a lather at the roots and work your way down to the ends, then rinse the hair thoroughly. After shampooing, use your favorite Organix conditioner and work through to ends, wait three to five minutes. After rinsing all of the conditioner out of your hair, do a final rinse with cold water. Cold water helps to eliminate frizz and create more shine.

2. Protect Hair – Always begin by blow drying hair with a thermal protector like Organix Smoothing Shea Butter Smoothing Treatment or Soft & Silky Vanilla Silk Blow Dry Cream to protect and hold the style.

3. Work in Sections – Dividing hair into manageable sections will cut down on frizz and ensure that your hair is fully dry. Use clips to keep wet and dry areas separate, a must for the perfect blowout.

4. Blow it Out – Beginning at the nape of the neck and working your way toward the crown, pull each section taunt with a brush and aim the heat directly onto the section. Pull the brush down with the dryer going in the same direction, moving from root to tip. Use a round brush for fine, straight hair and a paddle brush for thick or curly hair.

5. Straighten Out – With the same manageable sections, use a ceramic flat iron to get a sleek and sexy style. Keep the iron moving in a steady downward motion to fend off ridges.

6. Polish - Finish with an Organix Serum like Revitalizing Pomegranate Green Tea Anti-Frizz, Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage, Smoothing Shea Butter Liquid Glass or Soft & Silky Vanilla Silk Serum to add shine, lock out frizz and tame flyaways.
