If a trip to the salon isn’t in the cards, a DIY styling session can still deliver bounce, shine, and body — especially with the best blowout products on hand. These formulas are designed to both protect hair from the heat of an at-home blowout and offer other benefits, like boosting volume and increasing shine. In other words, they’re just as important as the blow dryer you use and your drying technique.
Our Top Picks
“A great blowout product, whether it comes in a cream or spray form, provides you with several benefits,” explains celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons. “It can provide heat protection, smooth frizzy hair, add volume to fine hair, make the hair manageable, speed up your blow-dry time, and add shine.”
However, not all blowout hair products are created equal. If you’re lost, Fitzsimons advises seeking out certain textures when you’re shopping. “Typically, a blowout spray is designed for those with finer hair looking to add a bit more volume; they’re more lightweight and won’t weigh the hair down,” he says. “Blowout creams are typically formulated for anyone with thick, frizzy, or curly hair.”
To make the process easier, we’ve turned to hairstylists and editors to narrow down the best blowout products on the shelf. Ahead, their picks for every hair type, texture, and concern.
