DIY Blowout Tips

DIY Blowout

Blowouts are super popular and cult favorites for many women! I am one of those women for sure, I absolutely love getting my hair professionally blow dried, which is becoming increasingly easier with ‘dry bars’  popping up everywhere. I wanted to share some DIY blowout tips with y’all today because if we’re spending this type of money for our blowouts we obviously want them to last. Using these quick and easy diy blowouts tips allows me to keep the style for a few days and sometimes up to a week.

SUAVE MOROCCAN OIL  | You want to make sure that you’re using a product to prepare for a blowout. Use an oil on your hair from mid length right above the ears through your ends. You can use a pea size amount and comb through your hair to prepare it to maintain a blowout. In minimal amounts, you can use the moroccan oil throughout the week on your dry ends for a bit of shine.

TWISTBAND HEADBAND | Use a headband to move the root of your hair away from your face when you’re washing your face at night. It’s super important to use an soft elastic headband like this to protect the roots because that is what will go lifeless first after a blowout. A twistband won’t dent or damage your style so it’s a quick fix.

TWISTBANDS | Like the headband, twistbands won’t dent or pull your hair so it’s the perfect ponytail holder if you need one at any time, and will help extend the life of your blowout. You’ll want to use these before bed, pull your hair up in a high and loose ponytail and let it lie across the pillow rather then sleeping on it.

CONAIR INFINITI PRO | If at any time your hair gets a bit wet before you’re ready to wash it, you’ll want to have a great blowdryer. Use it on cool to dry any parts that have gotten damp.

SILK PILLOWCASE | You’re wanting to prevent frizz and any snags during the night, your best bet is to sleep on a 100% silk pillowcase. This will help your hair stay frizz free even if you haven’t just gotten a blowout. A bonus is that it also helps your skin stay breakout free.

TANGLE TEEZER | You want a good brush to use to prevent tearing, snagging and knots while brushing through your blow out. The tangle teezer is awesome and is by far the best brush I have used. It’s super gentle on your hair and  glides through with ease through even the worst tangles.

DOVE DRY SHAMPOO | A dry shampoo is an absolute must to extend the life your blowout. My favorite, from Dove… smells fab, adds volume, and breathes new life into otherwise dull hair. Spray this on your roots once or twice a day to keep your hair looking and feeling great.

NYM GIRL POWDER | So, it’s day three and you’ve started to lose a bit of volume but you’re not ready to wash just yet. Sprinkle some volumizing powder on your roots and comb through to add some volume to your hair, finish it off with a minimal amount of hairspray to have it hold.

SONIA KASHUK COUTURE SHOWER CAP | Even though you don’t want to wash your hair, you obviously want to shower more then once a week so having a good shower cap on hand will help. pull your hair up in a high and loose ponytail using a twistband and put the shower cap on over top before you shower. Make sure that you (and this is important it’s killed my blowout before) dry your shoulders and chest before letting your hair down because you don’t want to get the ends wet.

    I LOVE the Dove Dry Shampoo, I just used it for the first time a few months ago and now it’s a must have in my bathroom.

    Getting a professional blow out is one of my absolute favorite indulgences!

    Dry shampoo is pretty much the best invention ever. Or one of them, at least!

    Dove dry shamppo is this Long haired girls savior! It takes me 1 1/2 hours to wash, condition, dry and straighten my hair… so it only happens 2x per week. Thank god for whoever invented dry shampoo!

    I desperately need to get on the dry shampoo bus… why am I waiting? And I didn’t know Dove made one – writing that on the grocery list now!

    I have some elastics like those twistbands and have never actually used them. I should though because I hate that kink your hair gets and I’d love to see if it actually keeps my hair kink free when I use them!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣

⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
