Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
For a quick and easy blowout, I recommend using a round brush and a blow dryer on a low setting.
Start at the roots and work your way down to the ends, using a gentle touch to avoid damaging the hair.
For a more polished look, try using a curling iron or a flat iron to add texture and definition to your style.
When it comes to braiding, I always recommend using a clear elastic band to secure the ends and prevent them from coming undone.
For a more intricate design, try using a hair serum or a light-hold hairspray to add shine and prevent frizz.
