How To Do A Budget Blowout
submitted: May 6, 2009tip #333
1. Don't blowdry in your bathroom. "The air circulation is generally poor and the humidity from your shower will only make your job more difficult," says Di Canio. A cool, brightly lit area like your bedroom or living room is a better option.
2. Air-dry your hair up to 75 percent. This will ensure that you don't spend an hour scorching your locks with your dryer. Use a leave-in conditioner on your wet hair and comb through tangles with a wide-tooth comb.
3. Dry hair in sections. Using a comb, divide your hair in half going from ear to ear in the back of your head. Clip the top section up. Then, take a two-inch wide section from the lower half, and, using a medium round brush, dry it on the high setting from roots to ends. Repeat until the bottom half is dry, then release the top section and dry that area.
4. Pump up your part. To achieve maximum volume, use a smaller round brush to blowdry small sections of hair around the part in a forward direction.
5. Finish strong. Add a finishing product like Blow Weather Girl Climate Neutralizing Complex to polish and protect your freshly groomed 'do.

I'll have too try this my hair is extremely thick so it takes a long time
I always have a hard time getting good lasting volume. The only way I can get some is to use a volume spray and dry with my head upside down. I will try this trick.
sameeeeeee
These are great tips! My hair is super fine (i have a lot of it, but each strand is really thin) so to add more volume i prep damp hair with Pantene Body Building Hair Gel or Amplify's gel (i've tried everything and these two are great), air dry for 20 mins like you say, and then blow dry my hair upside down with my head flipped. Works great!
I've also been doing my best to save $$ by extending time between salon visits, so check this out if anyone needs a few more pointers!

this will only work ig ur hair is relatively easy to deal with!
Counts me out, then; mine is very fine, very straight, hair is thinning (I'm 52) and scalp is oily. Plus I live in a hot, humid climate. I don't think anything short of a permanent will hold any fullness.
