Why Blowout Technique Matters

Hence, using the right tools and methods is extremely important to achieve these results along with minimum heat damage and frizz to the hair. With step-by-step blowout using dryer attachments and styling tools that are especially designed for this purpose, you can customize hair drying and styling experience for your clients based on their specific hair type and desired look.
Understanding and Utilizing Attachments Like a Pro
Majorly, you will come across two types of professional hair dryer attachments – Diffuser and concentrator nozzles. But each play unique roles in delivering precision results and enhancing the texture of hair. As professional or aspiring hairstylists, you must learn the diffuser vs concentrator for blowout and here’s how they both differ in usage and results.
Diffuser Attachment
A diffuser attachment is not something that is highly utilized in most salons, but it plays a critical role in enhancing the natural hair texture. Its technique is easy and proves essential for clients with natural curls, waves or permed textures. Try the diffuser of Vega Professional Pro Dry 2000 Hair Dryer that is ergonomically designed and holds hair perfectly. Additionally, its powerful 2000 wattage motor emits uniform heat for quick hair drying and styling while its tourmaline technology releases negative ions that seals in moisture to reduce hair frizz.
Here’s how to use a hair dryer diffuser:
· Apply a curl-enhancing cream or mousse on your client’s washed and towel-dried hair
· Tilt the client’s head and “cup” hair into the diffuser. Ensure that there is minimal manipulation during the process to avoid hair breakage
· Use the low heat setting with low airflow to dry hair without disrupting the curl and wave pattern
Concentrator Nozzles
On the other hand, hair dryer with concentrator nozzle is highly utilized in salons and plays a crucial role to both dry and style hair to deliver smooth results. You can find concentrator nozzles of different sizes including medium and large such as that of Vega Professional Pro Starlite BLDC Hair Dryer. In addition to these attachments, the hair dryer ensures maximum results with its high-performance Brushless DC Motor that is highly durable with 2.5X longer lifespan as compared to other AC motor dryers. Its feather-feel lightweight, low noise operation and combination of 4 heat and 2 speed settings along with a cool shot button further enhances the overall use.
Medium Concentrator Nozzle
A medium concentrator nozzle is ideal for drying thin and fine hair precisely, by reaching every section with ease. Additionally, it is perfect for detail work such as root lift, fringe styling and finishing touches on finer sections. For the best results:
· Pair the nozzle with Ceramix Shine 43mm Thermal Brush featuring Tourmaline Ceramic Coated Barrel for even heat distribution and Heat-Resistant Ionic Bristles. This brush will help you with directional smoothing.
· You can also use our heat and chemical resistant Carbon Tail Comb-White Line to isolate hairlines and baby hairs during the blowout.
Large Concentrator Nozzle
Best for drying large sections of hair quickly, a large concentrator nozzle is ideal for medium to thick hair. It is also very helpful to create straight hair blowouts or straight hair by maintaining an even airflow and tension over thick hair and broader surfaces. To use a large nozzle, here’s what you must do:
· Pair the nozzle with a hair brush and keep it aligned with the cuticle
· Brush hair in downward direction from roots to ends
· Repeat process in different hair sections till you achieve the desired results
· To give more flair to the style, you can twist the brush at the ends while holding the dryer close to the nozzle to create a soft wave
