What is a hair blowout? We are talking about the process of taking your hair from wet to dry. Your blowout is the base of your hair styling and is also where damage begins. That’s why it is important to use a professional hair dryer that dries your hair, without drying out your hair.
We’ve partnered with Graham Nation of Ken Paves Salon in Los Angeles for tips on how to do a blow out like a pro. If you aren’t already following him on Instagram, do that now to follow his work on major celebs like Bebe Rexha, Kathy Ireland, Ashanti, and Pete Wentz. Using FHI Heat’s brand new Accelerate 2200 dryer, here's how Graham achieves a fast blowout.
