How I Mastered the Perfect “Natural Volume” Blowout at Home

How I Mastered the Perfect “Natural Volume” Blowout at Home

I’ve always loved that fluffy, bouncy blowout look you see all over TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, the kind that makes your hair look like it has its own personality. You know what I mean: soft layers, airy bangs, and that effortless, voluminous vibe that screams I woke up like this.

But let’s be real: going to the salon every week isn’t exactly practical (or budget-friendly). So, I went down the rabbit hole of tutorials, tools, and techniques to figure out how to get that natural volume blowout at home. After a lot of trial and error, I’ve finally cracked the code and I’m sharing it all here.

1. Why Everyone Is Obsessed With the “Natural Volume” Look

If you’ve scrolled through beauty TikTok recently, you’ve probably noticed one thing: the blowout hairstyle is everywhere. The hashtag #blowouthair has millions of views, and every creator seems to have their own version of achieving that soft, bouncy volume.

And honestly, I get the hype. A good blowout doesn’t just make your hair look better it lifts your whole look. It’s polished but effortless, chic but natural. Whether you’re heading out for brunch, a date night, or just want to feel a little extra on a Monday, this hairstyle works for literally any occasion.

2. My Secret Weapon: Jullim Pro Curl V.01

Here’s the thing: getting a salon-worthy blowout at home isn’t just about technique it’s about using the right tools. After testing more curling irons and brushes than I care to admit, I landed on the Jullim Pro Curl V.01, and honestly? Game changer.

Why I love it:

  • No tangles, no drama → The anti-tangling comb glides through without pulling or snagging. Perfect if you have thick, frizzy, or easily knotted hair like mine.
  • Loose, natural bends → The 28mm extended barrel creates those soft, lived-in curls that make a blowout feel effortless.
  • Works for every hair type → Four adjustable heat settings mean you don’t fry your ends if your hair’s fine, but you still get hold if your hair’s thick.
  • Perfect for:
    • Polished blowout curls
    • Soft, airy waves at the ends
    • Framing face layers just right.

If you’ve ever thought achieving a salon-quality blowout at home was impossible, this little tool proves otherwise.

3. How I Get My “Natural Volume” Blowout in 3 Steps

After a lot of failed attempts, I’ve found this is the simplest routine that always works for me:

Step 1: Prep & Build the Base Volume

Start with towel-dried hair not soaking wet.

I use a Volumizer (basically a thermal round brush) while drying my roots. It instantly gives me that “just-left-the-salon” bounce in under 10 minutes.

Pro Tip:
Flip your head upside down for the last 30 seconds and blast with cool air. It locks in volume like magic.

Step 2: Shape & Define

Once my roots have that lift, I grab the Jullim Pro Curl V.01 to add soft bends and movement.

Medium to long hair: Curl just the last 2–3 inches for that subtle, effortless wave.

Curtain bangs: I wrap them around the 28mm ceramic barrel for a relaxed swoop that frames my face perfectly.


Pro Tip:
 Curl inward or outward depending on the vibe you’re going for. Both ways look great and add bounce.

Step 3: Customize Based on Hair Length

Because blowouts aren’t one-size-fits-all:

  • Short hair: Focus on root volume and finish with subtle curls at the ends.
  • Medium hair: Add layer definition + soft curls to create shape.
  • Long hair: Combine root lift + mid-length bends to avoid that flat, heavy look.

4. Blowout Styling Tips for Every Face Shape

A small tweak can make a big difference depending on your face shape:

  • Round face: Go for a side part and soft, layered swoops to elongate your features.
  • Square face: Loose waves at the ends help soften strong angles.
  • Oval face: Lucky you this style works effortlessly on you.
  • Heart face: Keep volume at the ends to balance a narrower chin.

5. How I Make My Blowout Last All Day

There’s nothing worse than spending 20 minutes perfecting your blowout only for it to fall flat an hour later. Here’s what keeps mine fresh:

  • Hands off! Let each section cool completely before touching. It sets the curl.
  • Use a lightweight texturizing spray to keep volume without making your hair stiff.
  • Flip your head upside down and shake it out for an instant refresh.
  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase trust me, it reduces frizz overnight and helps your blowout last longer.

I used to think a blowout like this was only possible at the salon, but with the right tools and a little know-how, you can totally do it yourself. Now, my “effortless” hair days are actually effortless.
