- Blowdry with Curls


A blowdry with curls is a styling appointment rather than a cut or colour service. Hair is washed and conditioned, then sectioned and dried using brushes, a blow dryer, and sometimes a diffuser or curling tools to create curls, waves or volume. It's a popular choice for anyone wanting a polished, event-ready look at Timba in Cardiff without committing to a haircut or colour change.
More information
What to expect during your appointment
The process is straightforward and usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on hair length and thickness:
- Hair is washed and conditioned first
- The stylist sections the hair for even drying and styling
- Curls or waves are shaped using a brush, diffuser, or finishing tools depending on the look you want
- The result is generally curls, waves, added volume, smoothness and shine
A quick chat with your stylist beforehand helps confirm whether you're after tight curls, loose waves, or simply extra volume and smoothness.
Who this suits
This service works well if you want a temporary style change without altering your hair's cut or colour. It's a good fit for:
- Special occasions, nights out, or events where you want a finished look fast
- Anyone wanting to try curls or waves without a permanent change
- Those who prefer a professional finish between cuts or colour appointments
Timba's stylists, including senior stylists such as Katie Williams, Emma Stokes and Hannah James, along with the wider styling team, can talk you through which finish and tools will suit your hair type best.
How long it lasts and aftercare
Results are temporary, generally lasting 3 to 5 days, though this varies by hair type, texture and how you look after it at home.
- Using a heat protectant before styling helps protect the hair
- Frizz-control products can help maintain the finish
- Avoiding excess moisture or humidity where possible will help curls last longer
- Home care and hair type both affect how long the style holds
If you're unsure whether you want a smoother blowout or more defined curls, it's worth mentioning this when booking so the right approach and tools can be planned in advance.
