Transform your locks into cascading waves of glamour and achieve the perfect blow wave. The secret weapon to a salon-worthy and stunning blow wave? CLOUD NINE. Renowned for its innovative technology and exceptional performance, CLOUD NINE is the ultimate companion for achieving a flawless blow wave that turns heads wherever you go.

Step 1: Prep school
For enviable shiny locks, prep is everything. Start with the basics: shampoo, then condition your hair before combing through gently with a wide tooth comb. Don’t get rough with towel drying — that’s a recipe for frizz especially with finer hair. Pat gently or wrap in a quick-dry turban. Next, protect those strands by spritzing hair from root to tip with a moisturising heat protectant such as CLOUD NINE'S Magical Quick Dry Potion. This miracle mist is light on hair, helps cut down drying time (by expelling water from the hair shaft), plus it coaxes shine. Simply shake to activate the product, mist over hair and comb through.

Step 2: Divide and conquer
It’s time to section your hair. Create your part with a comb, then clip up the top half of your hair from above the ears, so you can start drying lower sections first. The Airshot Hair Dryer from CLOUD NINE is light to hold, a heat powerhouse, but super gentle on hair. It has anti-static technology to fight flyaways and vitamin-infused ceramic heating elements for healthier hair. This powerful hair dryer has three temperature settings — for finer hair, choose the lowest setting and for curly/thicker hair strands, turn it up a notch. Use one of the concentrator nozzles (60mm or 75mm), and remember when you dry to point it downwards to smooth the cuticle for a frizz-free finale.

Step 3: Brush hour
As you blow dry, work in sections, using a round brush to create a bouncy blow wave and promote smoothness. Wrap each section in the brush and dry thoroughly. The CLOUD NINE Luxury Dressing Brush has been designed to be kinder to hair and the scalp, so you can dress your look without worrying about excess breakage. The nylon bristles help control static whilst brushing deeper into the hair to ensure beautiful, knot-free tresses.

Step 4: Flick it
To blow wave hair, carefully dry each section from back to front. Roll and hold! Once you get to the front sections of your hair, hook smaller sections with your round brush for pretty flicks around your face. The CLOUD NINE Luxury Round Hair Brush has a textured handle, for easy-hold — perfect for delicate drying work. For back sections, roll away — for front pieces, roll your hair forwards to frame your face.

TOP TIP: Remember to blast each dried wave with cold air to ‘seal’ the bend. Use The Airshot’s cool-shot button. Keep the hair rolled around the brush until you’ve completely dried the section and applied cool air. You’ll get a longer-lasting, shinier finish.

Set it: To set your blow wave in place, use a lightweight hairspray or texturising spray. Gently tousle your hair with your fingers for a natural, effortless finish and add a little moisture and gleam to the ends with a hair serum.
