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.

Take a moment to review the proportions, textures, and timing notes on this page so each step adapts effortlessly to your own routine.
