We all love that just stepped out of the salon feeling, so why when we try to recreate that blowdry at home is it never the same? You are missing out these key steps!

Step 1: Add Volume from Root to Tip

Before you even pick up the dryer, think product. Volume mousse is essential for creating a foundation that holds. Apply a lightweight mousse to the roots, mid-lengths, and ends to ensure long-lasting lift, body, and movement.

For finer hair, mæne. recommends Color Wow XL Mousse, which provides volume without weighing strands down.

For medium to thick hair, Label M Volume Mousse delivers structured hold while keeping hair touchably soft.

This step gives the hair grip and supports the style, helping it maintain that freshly styled look all day.

Step 2: Blowdry Technique & Lift

First start by drying the roots to create volume, medium heat and medium speed. This ensures you are not exposing the hair to too much heat and allows for better control with the hairdryer.

 Pro Tip: Flip your head upside down while drying the roots to create instant lift at the roots.

Blowdry hair in sections using a medium round brush to ensure even heat distribution and maximum volume.

Placing the brush under the hair to encourage lift. Working to the ends of the hair before rolling hair back onto itself. Pro tip: take your time with this this step really sets the shape. 

Key: Before moving on to tongs, rollers, or brushing, the hair must be completely dry. Any lingering dampness can cause volume to drop and curls or rolls to fall flat.

Step 3: Lock the Shape

After blowdrying each section, the hair needs to be set into shape to allow it to fully cool. This is where mæne. Volume Rollers come in — rolling each section immediately after drying locks in volume at the roots and ensures long-lasting lift and bounce.

Pro Tip: If your hair tends to fall flat quickly, add an extra step by lightly wrapping each section around a large-barrel curling tong before rolling. This gives the hair extra structure and helps the style last longer.

Step 4: Brush Out for Long-Lasting Finish

Hair must cool completely before brushing or combing out. Doing so too early relaxes the bonds that hold the style, causing volume and bounce to drop. Once cooled, gently brush through the hair using mæne. The Everyday Brush — designed to smooth, polish, and enhance shine without disturbing your shape.
