So, on your marks, get set... blow!

A meticulous preparation
To make sure your hair is well prepared for blow-drying, it is wise to brush it out gently first. There are special hair brushes that prevent your hair from breaking. The The Insiders Flat Brush is specially designed to achieve a professionally shiny result, while also stimulating the scalp and thus reducing hair breakage. This professional brush has high-quality bristles and a soft cushion that follows the scalp well, which ensures that your hair will not be damaged. The mix of natural boar hair and extra long nylon hairs stimulates your scalp, increases the natural shine and increases the elasticity of your hair strands. Your hair will undoubtedly be very happy with this, we at The Insiders know that for sure. After brushing, you then dry your hair with the hairdryer until it is approximately 70 percent dry.
Volume and shine: that makes everyone happy
Looking for a full and sexy head of hair? Go for the GLAMORAMA Date Night Thickening Spray from The Insiders. This spray gives structure and strength to your hair and provides a long-lasting volume boost. It is tempting to spray all kinds of things in your hair for the perfect final look. Unfortunately, many products are harmful to the hair, which does not benefit the volume of your hair in the long term. To prevent damage during blow-drying, we recommend always using a heat and UV protector. These are added as standard to almost all Insiders products, including the Date Night Thickening Spray. This product also contains no sulphates, SLES, SLS, parabens, gluten or mineral oils. To stimulate the strength of your hair even more, we at The Insiders have added a few special ingredients to this spray:
Ginger extract : prevents hair loss and dryness
Cottonseed oil : adds shine and improves texture
Vitamin E : has a strengthening effect and repairs damaged hair
Panthenol : has a moisturizing effect
X-HP thermal protector : protects against heat and UV
Pollution Shield : Prevents damage to hair and scalp caused by toxins in the air
UV filter : protects against sun damage
Smooth, silky and luscious hair
In addition to the nourishing properties of oil, a hair oil also provides a beautiful shine in the hair. The mix of argan and cottonseed oil in the GLAMORAMA Go With The Glow Hair Oil from The Insiders strengthens your hair and prevents split ends. If you like to add volume to your fine hair, the UNDONE Supernatural Thickening Cream from The Insiders is the go-to product for an UNDONE, beachy final look. This product is also a favorite at The Insiders. This weightless, protein-enriched cream gives your hair strength, firmness and a full appearance. The lavender, orange and coconut oil in the cream are softening and hydrating.
Hair technique
After adding the products to your almost-dry hair, it’s important to blow-dry it with the right technique. For a voluminous and smooth finish, hold the blow-dryer 15 to 20 cm away from your hair and focus on the roots by running your fingers through your hair. Once the roots are dry, it’s time to gently detangle with a good brush. The High Shine Vent Brus h from The Insiders is equipped with ventilation holes for free air circulation, which shortens the drying time of your hair during blow-drying. The specially shaped brush follows and massages the scalp for healthy hair, while natural boar bristles boost the natural shine of the hair.
Wrap it up
To finish your professional blow-out, it's time to turn on the cool shot function. Hold the different sections of hair tight and put the hairdryer with cool shot function on it. This function promotes the elasticity of your hair and keeps the shine and the right style. For a perfect look, fix the blow-out with the GLAMORAMA Hold It There Finishing Spray. Your hair remains flexible and 'touchable', with a natural shine.
