How to: The Perfect Blow Dry

Nothing beats the perfect blow dry. Your hair falls smoothly, has just the right amount of volume, shines beautifully, and stays in place all day. At Rob Peetoom, our hairstylists combine years of experience and expertise to ensure that you leave the salon with a flawlessly styled look after our Signature Blowdry treatment.

However, we understand that you don't always have the time to visit our salons. That’s why we’re here to show you how to create the perfect blow dry at home. With the right tools and techniques, you can achieve salon-worthy results right in your own bathroom.

With the introduction of tools like the GHD 2-in-1 Hair Dryer Brush Duet Blow Dry, achieving a professional blow dry at home is now easier than ever. This device combines the best features of a hair dryer and a straightener in one, saving you time while still giving you that perfect, smooth, and voluminous look you’re used to from the salon. In the following steps, you'll learn exactly how to recreate this perfect blow dry yourself.

Step 1: Start with Towel-Dried Hair

For an optimal blow dry, begin with towel-dried hair. This ensures that the brush works efficiently and dries your hair quickly without the risk of damage from overheating.

Step 2: Select the Right Setting

The GHD 2-in-1 Hair Dryer Brush offers multiple heat and speed settings. Choose the setting that best suits your hair type:

• Low heat and speed for fine or damaged hair.
• Medium heat and speed for normal hair.
• High heat and speed for thick or curly hair.

Step 3: Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into sections for more controlled styling. Start with the bottom layers and work your way up.

Step 4: Brush and Style

Gently glide the brush through your hair from the roots to the ends. Keep the brush close to the scalp to create volume. Repeat this process until each section is dry and styled.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

For an extra smooth and glossy finish, go over your entire hair once more with the brush on a lower temperature setting. This helps to tame any frizz and gives you a professional look.

Protect Your Hair with a Heat Protectant: before you start styling, apply a heat protectant spray or cream to your hair. This helps shield your hair from the heat of styling tools like the GHD 2-in-1 Hair Dryer Brush Duet Blow Dry. It prevents damage and keeps your hair healthy and shiny, even with frequent heat use.

Add Volume and hold with Hair Mousse: for extra volume and hold, apply a small amount of hair mousse to towel-dried hair before you start blow-drying. Focus especially on the roots to create lift and volume. The mousse adds body to your hair and helps your blow dry last longer.

Set Your Look with Hairspray: once you’ve achieved the perfect blow dry, you’ll want your hair to stay styled all day. Finish with a light mist of hairspray to set your look. Choose a flexible hairspray that won’t make your hair too stiff, so it feels natural while still maintaining its shape throughout the day.
