    How To Get A Great Blowout Haircut

    thewomeninterestBy thewomeninterestSeptember 14, 2021No Comments5 Mins Read

    It’s hard to pinpoint when and where hairstyles emerge, but the origins of the ‘Brooklyn fade’, or the blowout haircut, are relatively easy to place. It started in the 1990s in the aforementioned district of New York and spread to New Jersey, Philadelphia and the East Coast hubs of the USA, before becoming a worldwide sensation. One early adopter was tangerine reality star Pauly D, from MTV’s Jersey Shore, with some people referencing his thickly-gelled style as a winning example. We have nothing against Pauly, but we prefer the way stars like Chadwick Boseman, NBA baller Nick Young and from the UK, dancers Ashley and Jordan Banjo have styled it in recent years. It’s a great look for afro hair, but David Beckham and Adam Levine have proved that versions of it can work with straight follicles too. The point is, blowout haircuts can look very different from one another. The key feature is simply about blending a fresh fade and short sides with a longer, well-shaped and styled top.

    Key Products Needed For A Blowout Haircut

    Redken Rough Clay 20 Matt Texturiser

    For shorter, straighter hair, Chung says, “this rough clay is not too heavy and it’s good for adding texture. The matt look defines the hair so it doesn’t look too set”, and is perfect if you don’t want your hair to look too oily or overly shiny.

    Davines This Is A Forming Pomade

    For curly hair types, this versatile pomade defines the curl and gives light but re-workable hold, meaning it can be touched, moved and restyled throughout the day. This is unusual for a pomade as they normally set the hair with a strong hold, so bonus points to Davines.

    Bumble & Bumble Invisible Hairdresser’s Oil

    Oil is the best friend coarse, afro hair can have. Use sparingly, one or two drops of this dry oil will usually suffice per application. Rub into the palms and work through the hair to add low sheen and to keep the hair soft and nourished.

    Wahl Detailer Hair Trimmer

    For the times you can’t get to your barber for a little spruce up, or if you’re confident cutting your own hair, the Wahl Detailer is the trimmer you need to achieve those precision lines. It’s smaller than the average trimmer so can be held more like a pen and is easy to manoeuvre. Set to grade one or two and make sure you’ve got a steady hand.

    What is a Blowout Haircut?

    Blowout Haircuts

    A blowout cut should not be confused with a ‘blowout’ or a blow dried hair style, as Dan Chung, stylist at top London salon The Lion & The Fox explains: “A blowout cut is also known as a temple or taper fade. It has a strong contrast line up around the ear. You can go shorter or longer on the top, but the main points are where it’s tapered around the temple, sideburns and neckline.”

    Whereas the sides and lines are tight, the top is more grown out and can be styled with some height if you wish to exaggerate it. Flat top styles, slick backs and a messy nest of curls can all work. Or you can keep it relatively short and blend it smoothly with your beard.

    What To Ask For At The Barbers

    In general, if you’re asking your barber for a blowout, you’re asking for the hair to be tapered at the neck, sideburns and temple area. “The line at the nape or the front hairline is important,” says Chung, “in particular the line up around the ear. You shouldn’t go shorter than a grade one above the ear.”

    You want to keep the length on top, so minimally trim this area if the length isn’t quite there yet. Also consider if you want to keep the hairline natural, shape the edges, add tramlines or clean up the line around the forehead, like Drake does, for example.

    Dense, dark hair works best with a fade and your hair type will inform how it should be styled. After washing, afro hair should be left to dry naturally and finished with a little oil, with a longer top that isn’t overly shaped. Asian or caucasian hair should be styled with a pomade or wax – or even paste or cream – with a matt finish to keep the texture.

    Blowout Haircuts

    Be warned, tight fades need regular maintenance so if you’re not that familiar with your barber, you’ll be getting better acquainted with regular trims needed every two weeks to keep those lines on point.
