Tools of the Trade
by Kerry Andersen
The biggest difference between at home styling and a salon blowout is the tools. To replicate salon results, Kacie Moss, Master Stylist at Bauhaus Salon, says professional tools are a must. “A quality blow dryer is an investment but offers more power and heat settings to tackle every kind of hair texture. Look for one with a nozzle attachment to focus heat where you need it and a cool shot button to seal your cuticle.” Next, choose a round brush specific to your hair type and texture. After that, Moss says a perfect head of hair is all about product, product and more product!
Product Junkie
If you aren’t achieving dazzling blow-dry results, it might be time to update the products on your bathroom shelf. Bauhaus Senior Stylist Taylor Terro says hair products on the market now take full advantage of modern science to deliver dramatic results. “The main ingredient to look for is a heat protectant to shield your hair from damage, add shine and guard your crowning glory against environmental pollutants and dreaded humidity.” The pros at Bauhaus Salon list these products as their favorites for a sleek, beautiful and frizz-free blowout: • Oribe Imperial Blowout Transformative Styling Hair Cream • Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray • Oribe Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray • Kerastase L’incroyable Blow-Dry Reshapable Lotion • Kerastase Discipline Anti Frizz Smoothing Spray
