Drybar’s Holiday Hair Style Guide

When it comes to styling, Drybar has become a go-to brand for its lineup of high-quality hair products and tools designed to deliver salon-worthy results at home. Whether you're going for a voluminous blowout or a sleek, shiny holiday look, Drybar has just the right products to help you achieve your best style. Here’s an in-depth guide to creating two iconic looks with Drybar's top-rated products—perfect for any occasion.

A signature blowout is the foundation of many great hairstyles. It's timeless, flattering, and gives hair a fresh, voluminous look. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving a salon-quality blowout at home using Drybar's standout products.

The key to a long-lasting blowout begins with proper prep. Start with Drybar’s Prep Rally Prime & Prep Detangler, which is designed to detangle and prime damp hair for styling. This lightweight mist also offers essential heat protection, reducing potential damage from styling tools. The detangler is infused with biotin, vitamins B and C, and sea berry oil, providing nourishment and hydration to leave hair feeling soft and resilient.

To use:

- Spray Prep Rally generously on clean, towel-dried hair.

- Comb through to distribute the product evenly, focusing on areas prone to tangling.

- Allow the hair to absorb the product for a few moments before moving on to blow-drying.

Drybar’s Double Shot Oval Blow-Dryer Brush combines the convenience of a blow-dryer with the precision of a round brush. This tool makes it easy to achieve a bouncy blowout without juggling multiple tools. Its unique oval shape lifts hair at the root for added volume and smooths strands for a polished finish.

To use:

- Separate your hair into sections to ensure even drying.

- Start by blow-drying each section from the roots to the tips, gently rotating the brush to add volume and shape.

- Continue working through all sections until your hair is fully dry and voluminous.

For a touchable finish with flexible hold, Drybar’s Seltzer Spritz Flexible Hold Hairspray is the perfect finishing product. It provides up to 8 hours of hold while maintaining natural movement, making it ideal for an all-day blowout.

To use:

- Lightly spray Seltzer Spritz over your finished blowout, focusing on areas where you want to maintain shape and volume.

- Avoid over-applying, as this spray is designed to be lightweight and flexible.

If you want an extra dose of texture and volume, follow up with Drybar’s Triple Sec 3-in-1 Finishing Spray. This versatile product works as a volumizer, texturizer, and dry shampoo all in one. It adds a light, airy texture that helps hold the blowout for longer while adding dimension.

To use:

- Shake well and spray Triple Sec onto the roots and through the mid-lengths of your hair.

- Tousle your hair gently with your fingers to add volume and texture.

If you’re looking for a sleek, polished look for a special occasion or holiday event, Drybar offers a suite of products designed to give you that shiny, frizz-free finish. Here’s how to create a smooth and glossy style with their holiday-ready lineup.

Protecting your hair from heat damage is essential, especially when using tools like straighteners or curling irons. Drybar’s Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Mist is specifically formulated for use on dry hair, making it ideal for last-minute touch-ups or second day hair before heat styling.

To use:

- Lightly mist Hot Toddy onto each section of dry hair, holding the bottle a few inches away for even coverage.

- Focus on the mid-lengths and ends, where heat damage is most common.

For a Sleek Style:  

If you’re going for a smooth, straight look, the Tress Press Straightening Iron is your go-to tool. Its rounded edges allow for versatility, so you can also create soft waves or curls if desired.

To use:

- Run the straightener over each section of hair slowly to ensure a smooth, sleek finish.

- For added texture, gently wrap small sections around the barrel to create soft waves or bends at the ends.

For Glossy Waves or Curls:  

For a classic holiday look with defined waves or curls, the Mixologist Interchangeable Styling Iron is the ultimate tool. It comes with three interchangeable attachments: a 1-inch wand for tighter waves, a 1.25-inch curling iron for classic curls, and a waver attachment for beachy, natural waves.

To use:

- Choose your desired attachment and wrap small sections of hair around the barrel.

- Hold for a few seconds, then release to reveal defined curls or waves.

The final touch to a holiday look is all about shine. Drybar’s Liquid Glass High Gloss Finishing Serum smooths frizz and adds a beautiful high-gloss finish, giving hair a polished look that lasts.

To use:

- Apply a small amount of Liquid Glass to your fingertips and gently work it through the ends and mid-lengths of your styled hair.

- Avoid applying too close to the roots to maintain volume and prevent any weighed-down appearance.

If you’re worried about frizz or static, especially during colder months, Drybar’s Final Call Frizz & Static Control Mist is a great addition. This mist helps tame flyaways and provides humidity resistance for up to 24 hours, ensuring your style remains smooth and shiny throughout the day or night.

To use:

- Spray Final Call lightly over the top layers of your hair, focusing on areas prone to frizz and flyaways.

- Use sparingly to maintain a natural, soft finish.
