S

he’s styled celebs

like Duchess

Meghan, Julia

Roberts and

Chrissy Teigen,

and created the

blow-dry bar phenomenon

in the US – so Alli Webb is

the perfect person to help

us inally get it right. he

Drybar founder says there

are just ive steps. ‘Be warned,

there are no shortcuts for

the perfect blowout, but if

you invest more time, the

longer it will last. So, say,

30-plus minutes on

a good blow-dry

every three to four

days will mean you

won’t have to wash

and dry every day

or every other day,’

she explains.

HOW-TO

1

‘Towel-dry clean hair to remove any

moisture. I recommend a cleansing

shampoo or a double shampoo to

extend the life of your blowout.’

2

‘Always apply a leave-in

conditioner or heat protectant

before brushing out your hair – the

condition of the hair makes all the

difference to the finished look.’

3

‘Rough-dry with your blow-dryer

first to remove any moisture. Keep

the dryer going down the shat of

the hair to smooth the follicle.’

4

‘Sections! The front of

your hair is the part you

see, so start there. Be sure to

work in 1-2-inch sections all over

your head.’ Take a large round brush

and wrap your hair around the barrel

before drying and slowly pulling

through. Use vertically throughout

your hair for curls and horizontally

at the crown for volume at the roots.

5

‘The perfect blowout is all about

repetition, manipulation and tension

on each section until each is bone dry

and perfect. Be sure to get right to

the ends so you don’t get frizzies!’

Blow-dry sections in the same direction

for bouncy uniform curls à la Karlie.
