In this class, learn how to create a soft, bouncy blowout using a curling iron, no round brush needed. This go-to technique delivers polished, voluminous results with consistency behind the chair, making it ideal for showcasing dimensional color.

See how sectioning, iron placement and controlled styling build a full, bouncy finish, along with the small details that make the biggest visual impact.

Because the finish is only as strong as how it’s captured, this class also breaks down how to film and photograph hair to highlight true dimension, shine and movement. From lighting and angles to quick, effective content strategies, everything is designed to translate immediately behind the chair.

This is about creating better results and showing them in a way that attracts the right clients.
