The Dominican blowout isn’t new, but salons that offer the service are expanding beyond big metropolitan areas like New York and Chicago. Nowadays, you don’t necessarily have to live in the big city to find a stylist who specializes in this technique.

What makes a Dominican blowout so special?

 

Women who’ve had the service and love it rave about how straight and bouncy their hair is after a blowout. It can be tough to get your hair bone straight and feathery-light at home, especially if you’re not proficient with a round brush and a two-hand technique.

On the flip side, I’ve heard some women say their hair was damaged after one of these blowout sessions. There’s a lot of heat, and in many cases, a lot of pulling involved to get the hair perfectly straight.

Natural ingredients can be used to make homemade hair care products for maintaining healthy hair. The advantage is that there will not be any harmful chemicals in their preparation. However, you need to use fresh ingredients to get the desired results. The best hair care products can be achieved with the help of dairy products like yogurt, and fruit like avocado and so on.

 

Avocado conditioner

  • Avocados are rich source of Vitamin E and B and helps in hydrating the hair and guard against heat. Purchase fresh avocado from the grocery store. Wash and clean the fruit. Peel off the skin from the avocado and remove the stone.
  • Set aside some coconut milk to add in to the Avocado.
  • Now, crush the Avocado and pour in the coconut milk to the crush until it reaches the consistency of the conditioner. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
  • Gently apply the mixture onto the hair and massage the scalp with it. Allow the conditioner to be on for at least 15 minutes and then wash off with a shampoo after the stipulated time period.
