For a Super Straight & Sleek Blowout

ust-Have: Lifestyling Amazing You will need: A comb, 4 hair clips, a blowdryer with nozzle attachment (preferred) and a large, round brush. To Use: 1.     Spray Lifestyling Amazing throughout damp hair. 2.     Comb through to distribute evenly. 3.     Section off hair in to 4 sections:

• Section 1 is the top and front—create a horizontal parting at the crown of your head. It should look like an arch going from the tip of one ear to the other. Gather all of the hair from your front hairline to the crown into one section. Twist and clip to the very top of your head.
• Create a second horizontal part from the mid-point of one ear to the other. Your hair should now be in three horizontal sections.
• Split the middle section in half vertically. Twist and clip each side to your head.

4. Starting with the bottom section, take two-inch sections of hair and wrap around a large barrel round brush. 5. Apply flight tension and point your dryer nozzle down. Starting at the root, “unroll” the hard as you follow with the dryer nozzle. 6. Once you reach the end of the section, unroll slowly. Before your release, seal in your style with a quick blast of cool air form your dryer. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each section, working from the bottom to the top of your head. Be sure to dry your hair thoroughly—and we do mean thoroughly—with the dryer, in order to maintain a super-smooth finish.
