Determined to make our beauty routine easier, TikTokers have developed an infallible technique for achieving a silky and voluminous blow-dry in record time: the “ponytail blowout”, which promises a perfect result in five minutes flat. Most users follow the tutorial from @marenanicole. The young woman, who managed to reach 4 million views in just over a month, reveals the basics of this technique which only requires two elastics (or scrunchies), a blowing brush (or a hair dryer and a round brush) and large rollers.
Succeed in your “ponytail blowout”
In her tutorial, the user starts by making two fairly high ponytails, one for the bangs or the front strands, and one for the rest of the hair. Then, she separates them into four then wraps each of the strands around the brush to form large curls, before fixing them using the rollers. Before doing the same for his bangs.
The idea here is to straighten the locks using the hair dryer or blowing brush before rolling them to obtain a wavy blow-dry, worthy of the eighties. After letting everything sit for a few minutes, all that remains is to unwind each strand and put your hair back in place.
