Styling Tips for the Party Girl


GET A PERFECT AT-HOME BLOW-OUT

Who doesn't love that fresh-from-the-salon, blow-dried look? We asked on Saradeth of Pon International in Anaheim Hills, CA to offer his tips for perfect at-home results. For starters, be sure to use the right product for your hair type.
  • FINE, THIN OR LIMP HAIR: Use a thickening spray or mousse for subtle body and fullness.
  • NORMAL OR STRAIGHT HAIR: Try a lightweight styling lotion for just a hint of control.
  • COARSE, WAVY OR CURLY HAIR: Add a straightening product to damp strands.
  • FIGHT FRIZZ: Add a few drops of shine serum if your hair is prone to drizz.
Once you've got the right products, here's how to blow-dry like a pro:

Attach a concentrator onto your blow dryer, grab a paddle brush and work with one section at a time. Using the flat edge of the brush, smooth smaller sections straight, pulling with slight tension with the concentrator right on the brush. Continue until all sections are done and then style as desired.
