Tip/advice: Get the salon blow out at home. The best way to achieve the best finished looked with long hair is to start blow drying your most challenged part of your hair first. For most people it usually is the bottom or sides. Clip up the hair from the middle of the ear up. Start your blow dry from the bottom up then work on the sides form the bottom up and start with your opposite side first. Always blow dry the areas that you already know how to do last. You will be amazed at the finished look!
