Blowdry

What Happens During a Blowdry

Your stylist will start with a brief consultation to understand the finish you want, whether that's sleek and smooth, big volume, or soft waves.

• Shampoo and condition to cleanse the hair
• Towel-dry, then apply heat protectant and styling products
• Sectioning of the hair for an even, controlled result
• Blow-drying with round or flat brushes to build volume or create a sleek finish
• Finishing touches, such as smoothing flyaways or defining waves

Team members including Katie Williams, Lucy Osborne, Emma Stokes and Hannah James regularly carry out blowdries as part of their styling work at Timba.

Who It Suits

A blowdry is a styling-only service, so it's a good fit for clients who:

• Want a quick refresh without committing to a cut or colour change
• Have fine, thick, straight, wavy or curly hair and want a technique suited to it
• Are heading to an event or occasion and want a longer-lasting style
• Have just had a cut or colour and want to see the finished look styled properly

If you have a sensitive scalp, damaged hair, or have recently had a chemical treatment such as bleach or keratin, it's worth mentioning this beforehand so heat and products can be adjusted.

Aftercare and Making It Last

A blowdry typically lasts several days with the right care.

• Avoid rain, steam and heavy sweating, which can shorten the style's life
• Use dry shampoo between washes to refresh roots
• Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction
• Tie hair gently overnight to help preserve shape and volume

Your stylist can also suggest simple products and techniques to help you recreate some of the volume or smoothness at home.
