Get The Steps
1. Starting on wet hair, apply WetBrush EPIC Professional Time Release Detangler and comb through. Then, apply your favorite volumizer and thermal protectant to prep the hair for the blowout.

2. Take a section that’s the same width as the brush. Philip always uses the WetBrush EPIC Professional Heat Wave Blowout brush for blowout waves because its ThermaGraphene barrel gets up to 20 percent hotter than ceramic, and it evenly distributes heat across the barrel.

Pro Tip: Use the same sectioning pattern as if you were using a curling iron, but always start with the face frame—this is what the client is going to see!

3. Starting at the root, create the first bend by rotating the brush and applying heat. Continue working down the section and applying heat, then feed the ends through the brush. Repeat this wave technique and alternate directions as you work around the head, then finish with hairspray!
