Sienna’s At-Home Salon Finish Protocol
For a quick and easy at-home 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 light touch to prevent hot spots.
For a more polished look, try using a curling iron to add curls to your updo.
Simply wrap the hair around the barrel and hold for a few seconds before releasing.
For a more intricate updo, I recommend using a braiding technique to add texture and interest to the style.
To braid, start by dividing the hair into three sections and then braiding the sections together.
Secure the braid with a clear elastic band and finish with a low pony.
