How-To: Big Red Blowout

This supersized blowout uses a few techniques to get the most volume possible. Coupled with a red-hot haircolor, it definitely makes a statement! Get the how-to!

Color Application
1. Balayage close to the root with Formula A on the first 2 inches and Formula B on the rest of the hair, leaving out any previously highlighted areas.

2. Do a second round using Formula B away from the roots and saturating everywhere, starting on darker areas. Process to a golden caramel.

3. Use Formula C to create a root shadow, blending down with a comb to create the shape you want. For this model, the shadow was higher in the front.

4. Pull Formula D from midshafts to ends.

Styling How-To
1. Prep damp hair with ColorProof SuperPlump® Thickening Blow Dry Spray throughout and SuperRich® Split Ends Mender focused on the midlengths and ends. Power-dry the hair to 70 percent using a paddle brush.  

2. Taking sections in a brick-lay pattern, apply CurlyLocks® Color Protect Curl Mousse at the root area, combed down 2 to 3 inches to distribute the product. Using a medium vented round brush (on base), do a blow-dry set.

3. Set each section on a Velcro roller to cool.

4. Once the entire head has cooled, remove rollers one by one and curl using a 1-inch curling iron with IronMaster™ Color & Heat Protecting Setting Spray, then reset on the Velcro rollers to cool.

5. Once complete, use TextureCharge® Color Protect Texture + Finishing Spray throughout each section and firmly backcomb at the root, creating a softer, fluffier backcomb through the midlengths to achieve width in the design.

6. When you reach the top sections, sprinkle PowderFix® Texturizing Powder onto the root area before backcombing.

7. Create a side part and shape the fringe section into a soft wave, with height over the heavy side of the part. Detail with a smoothing brush, being sure not to disrupt the backcombing.

8. Finish with HardCore® Epic Hold Color Protect Hairspray and HumidtyRx® Anti-Frizz Weatherproof Spray.
