At-Home Blowout Tips for Women Over 50

I get asked more questions about my hair than anything else. I’m not going to pretend that I’m a wash-and-go girl. I do take a few (or several) minutes styling it, but that’s good news.

You don’t have to visit the salon to get that smooth, bouncy, professional-looking blowout! With the right tools and a few tricks, you can create volume, shine, and movement right at home, even if your hair has thinned a bit over the years. The key is protecting your strands, using lightweight products, and taking your time with sectioning. Here are my favorite products for achieving a perfect at-home blowout for women over 50.
