When you stop into the salon for a professional blowout, your hair just seems to behave better. Women with thick hair get the polished look they crave, while ladies with flat strands get the volume they desire. Save time and money with these at-home blowout tricks that won't have you blasting your hair with heat either.
Full-on volume: If you just can't contort your arms into the perfect position to get a great blowout at home, you're better off trying hot rollers. Roll large sections using medium to jumbo rollers. As they cool down, you'll get the same root-lifting effect of a round-brush blowout (without all the exercise). Opt for a flexible-hold hair spray and brush through with your fingers, so the curls fall out for a more natural bounce.
Sleek and smooth: Let your hair air dry until 90 percent of the moisture is gone, then blow-dry hair with a round brush until sleek. Use a flat iron to smooth roots, and spritz hair with dry shampoo like Show Beauty Premiere Dry Shampoo (£30) as a finishing touch for the ultimate volume.

Chrissy Teigen isn't like the other models you might have heard about. First of all, she loves fried chicken and rarely washes her face. But the fact that she doesn't fit the typical model bill is one of our favorite things about her, especially her knack for hilarious commentary on Twitter. And no one can deny that whatever she's doing yields beautiful results. "Less really is more. I feel uncomfortable if I go too far outside the box," she told us in an interview. "So do what makes you feel beautiful and it all works out," she says. Find out more beauty tidbits the Gillette Venus spokeswoman had to share, from the product fiancé John Legend borrows, her bridal beauty plans, and the makeup technique she lifted from Kim Kardashian when you read our interview

Before Nyakio Face Oil ($49), I was skeptical about putting oil on my face (despite being schooled on all the beauty benefits). But a few drops left my skin soft for hours, and the shiny forehead I was expecting never showed. This new brand is fueled by African beauty recipes passed down through founder Nyakio Grieco's family, with the star product being the face oil. Scented with chamomile and lavender, the lightweight oil is made with caffeine-rich kola nut extract from Africa to give skin a lift. While the price may seem steep, one bottle will go a long way. You can even use it on your hair and nails. So long, weighty creams and lotions.
