It would be very informative if you would do a video of a model doing her own blow drying. It’s always nice to have someone else available to do the job, but this is not practical.

That’s a great point and is something that we’re already planning for future videos. Thanks for your suggestion.

This was very informative. I’ve never been able to duplicate a good salon hairstyle myself and this really helps. Thanks Eva. You’re the best!!

Hi Susan,
I am so glad to hear that this video was not only informative, but actually worked for you! I enjoy empowering women by providing them with the tools and know-how to do it themselves. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
Best,
Eva

Check out this great feed back I received through my email beautytalk@evascrivo.com:
Eva,
I had found your “The perfect blowout” video in a google search. I did the technique and it turned out great… everyone asked what I did different to my hair.
Thanks!

This is the best! I have been searching forever on how to section the hair for blowdrying! Would you recommend this same sectioning technique for curling the hair too?

Hi Jennifer,
Yes, absolutely you can use this same technique when using a curling iron. Work your way from the bottom of the hair up for the best results. I’m so glad that this video has helped you!
Best,

“The perfect blowout” video was wonderful to watch. I particularly loved the movement and body of the hair, which I have been trying to achieve for some time now. Is the blowout technique the same for all hair types?

Hi Sarah,
I’m glad that you enjoy the video! This video can be used as a reference for all hair types, but things like tools and sectioning can be altered depending on your hair type. For thicker hair use thinner sub-sectioning while blow drying, as with finer hair larger sub-sections can be taken. If your hair is long, a larger round brush might be helpful, and if it is shorter you might try using a smaller brush in the nape of the neck where the hair is harder to effectively grab with a larger brush. I hope this helps!
Best,
Eva

Hello Eva,
I am a cosmetology student and I have tried your perfect blowout technique several times now on clients that come to the institute. The results are fantastic! Your tips have taken my mediocre blowouts to beautiful results!
I look forward to more great videos.
Thank you!

I must admit I was skeptical about using different brushes. However, I was not getting the results I wanted so I bought two more. My sincere apologies for doubting you. This makes blow drying so much easier and faster with a much better finished look. Thank you.

Eva,
The blowout worked great but didn’t last–which is something I think is characteristic of my hair. By afternoon, it wanted to flip out in places or look drab. A lot of the time I can’t get both sides to react the same to styling. Is there something I can do about that or is it the cut? My hair is a little longer than shoulder length, highlighted but very healthy, fairly thick and layered.
Thanks a bunch for your tips–they are great!

Most often the way the hair is cut determines the way it will fall after it is blown out. Your hair needs to be slightly undercut at the bottom for it to stay under or closer to the body. This can be achieved if your stylist cuts the hair right at the neck (against the skin) to remove the excess layers underneath. This pushes the bottom line of your haircut outward creating a flip. A senior stylist will know what undercutting is, which could also mean that you need to go to a more experienced stylist. Also, not drying the hair completely when blow drying causes the hair to flip and take on different shapes. If your hair still feels cold to the touch, it is still wet.

Generally I do not post on blogs, but I have to say that this post really forced me to do so. Really nice post!

Great ideas on this page. It rare these days to find sites with info you are seeking. I am glad I found this page. I can certainly bookmark it or maybe subscribe to your rss feeds just to get your new posts. Sustain the good work and I’m sure some other folks looking for valued information will certainly stop by and use your site for resources.

Eva - that’s awesome! Can you tell me where to get the clips you used in this video? I’ve been looking for something comparable and have had no luck.

Nadia,
The clips are called YS Park Japanese Clips and they are available on our website: http://www.evasbeautystore.com/index.php/make-up-tools/hair-clips/ys-park-japanese-clips.html
Best Wishes,

I wanted to let you know that I love this video. I just started hair school and we are work on doing blowouts. Wow. You really were a great help to me. I tried this today and I did my blowout in less then 45 mins. I am using a home retail dryer. Thank you again.
