Who says a professional salon blow dry is only for A-listers? With the right products, you can recreate that gorgeous salon finish at home.

To keep hair feeling smooth and healthy, first use a heat protect spray to shield it from heat damage, then begin to rough dry. Use a large barrel brush for extra oomph and volume and add a spritz of an extra strength hairspray to keep in it place.
