How do you get a good blowout at home without frying your hair?

items I am a mom of two and my hair took a beating this summer between the pool, the beach, and me straightening it every time I was running late. I finally rebuilt my whole routine around getting the same smooth look with about half the heat, and this is ...
I bought this after my third year of trying to hold a round brush and a dryer at the same time without wrecking my shoulder. My hair is past my shoulders and it takes me about twelve minutes from damp, versus the twenty five I was spending before. Fa...
Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler
These are what I use on nights when I know the morning is going to be a mess. I wrap damp hair around the rod before bed and wake up with soft waves that look like I tried. Sleeping in it took me about four nights to get used to, and if my hair is ev...
Kitsch Satin Heatless Curls Overnight Set
My ends were snapping off in August and this is what I started doing every Sunday before I shampoo. After about a month I stopped finding little broken pieces on my shirt, which was the whole point. It is not a conditioner though, so if you skip the ...
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Treatment
I live somewhere humid and this is the only thing that keeps my hair smooth from morning drop off through pickup. You spray it on damp hair and then have to blow dry it to activate, which I ignored the first time and got nothing out of it. It also ma...
Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Spray
Switching from a regular bath towel to this cut my drying time down noticeably and my hair stopped looking so puffy afterward. I twist it up while I do my skincare and it stays put without sliding into the sink. It does get a funky smell if you leave...
Kitsch XL Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap
I use this before anything hot touches my hair, which after this summer is a rule I do not break anymore. It sprays fine and does not leave my hair crunchy the way the two cheaper ones I tried did. The smell is strong and very salon-y though, and it ...
CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray
My youngest cries during hair brushing, so this was really bought for her and then I stole it. It gets through tangles on wet hair without that ripping sound, which is the whole reason it lives in our bathroom now. The bristles do splay out after abo...
Wet Brush Original Detangler Hair Brush
I was skeptical about this one and it turned out to be the cheapest thing on this list that made a real difference. I wake up without that flattened frizzy mess on one side, so my blowout lasts an extra day. It slides off the pillow at night which dr...
Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, 22 Momme
This is what gets me to day three without washing, which matters because washing means drying and drying means another forty minutes I do not have. A quick spray at the roots and I look presentable for school pickup. It leaves a white cast if you spr...
Batiste Original Dry Shampoo
These sound like the most skippable thing here and they are actually what made my blowouts stop looking half finished. Clipping the top half up means the underneath section actually gets dry instead of staying damp under everything else. They do leav...
Kitsch Professional Alligator Sectioning Clips
I started using this because my scalp was flaky after a whole summer of sunscreen and dry shampoo, and it works the shampoo in far better than my fingers do. Two minutes in the shower and my scalp actually feels clean down to the roots. It does tug o...
Silicone Scalp Massager and Shampoo Brush
I spray this on damp hair before I dry and it is what keeps my ends from looking like straw by the end of the week. It is under fifteen dollars and does most of what the salon one I used to buy did. The scent is quite sweet and it lingers, and if you...
Marc Anthony Grow Long Leave-In Conditioner Spray
This is my one splurge here and I have rebought it four times, which for me is the real test. One pump on the ends after drying and my hair catches the light instead of just sitting there flat. It is genuinely expensive per ounce, and if you put it a...
Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil
I put my hair up constantly and regular elastics were giving me a permanent dent plus little broken hairs right at the ponytail. These leave nothing behind, which is the only reason I keep rebuying them. They do stretch out and lose their grip after ...
Invisibobble Power Traceless Spiral Hair Ties
After a week of dry shampoo and oil my hair gets heavy and nothing holds a style, and this is what resets it. I use it once every two weeks and my blowout comes out noticeably better the day after. It is stripping, so I always follow with a heavy con...
Neutrogena Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo
