Now it’s time to master a sleek salon blowout at home using just one tool. Follow our 5-step guide on how to blow dry hair straight with amika’s best blow dryer and straightening brush.

step 1: sleek hair starts in the shower

Apply flash instant shine mask while you’re in the shower for brilliant shine and softness. This fast-acting mask takes hair from dull to dazzling in just 60 seconds.

After shampooing, squeeze the excess water from hair, then apply the mask in sections. Fully saturate strands, wait 60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly.

step 2: prep your hair

Before blow drying, towel or air-dry wet hair so that it’s damp, not wet. Comb through any tangles and spray the wizard detangling primer to prep and protect your mane from heat up to 450°f/230°. This styling spray detangles and smooths strands while cutting down blow dry time so you can get on with your day!

PSA: If you want to protect hair against heat, frizz, and humidity, try the shield anti-humidity spray.

step 3: blow dry hair

Grab double agent and twist the handle to the right to select your desired setting, depending on the look you’re going for.

Next, divide your hair into sections. Working section by section, glide the brush from root to tip, making sure you’re not applying the bristles directly on the scalp. Continue until hair is completely dry.

step 4: straighten hair

For an even sleeker look, change to the thermal straightening brush only setting and repeat as needed to straighten dry hair. Continue to brush from root to tip until you’ve reached your desired results.

step 5: get your shine on

Finish with glass action hydrating hair oil, the perfect finishing touch to seal in that shine. This multi-talented, nutrient-rich oil conditions the hair and restores shine while banishing frizz.

Mission Complete! The result is a sleek and shiny blowout as smooth as a double agent.
