You probably know by now that these Dolls like to challenge the norm, and we’re rewriting the rules on the typical blow dry with this magical unicorn twist. If you’re looking to achieve a voluminous blow out in the comfort of your home AND you love mystical creatures, this hair tutorial is for you. You can achieve a full-volume look that you can run your fingers through in just ten minutes.
TRESemmé’s new Beauty-Full Volume Collection revolutionizes the way we care for our hair by reversing the hair-washing process we’ve used all our lives. Here’s what you’ll need to re-create the Unicorn Blow-dry, and it’s in order of how to be used.
TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-wash Conditioner
TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo
This product is an awesome way to reverse your routine. Seriously, use the conditioner first – it reinforces the hair’s nature protective layer using a special technology and leaves your tresses smooth and polished. Next, wash away any weight created by the conditioner to remove and weight and add amazing bounce.
TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximizer
Use this mainly on your ends, some on your crown isn’t a big deal. This product is amazing for maintaining bounce and smoothness.
TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Touchable Bounce Mousse
Apply this mainly on your crown to help create a root lift and light hold – your hair will still be smooth enough to still run your fingers through.
TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hairspray
This spray will be used to complete your style, relax any flyaways, and keep your hairstyle bouncing all day and night. The Dolls love this product because it holds without the stickiness of other hairsprays.
Other Tools:
- Blow Dryer
- Round brush – size of your choice
- Elastic hair bands – they don’t leave a crease
5 Steps for a Magical Blow Out:
- After you’ve conditioned then washed and applied product in the order we’ve listed above, use a large round brush to blowdry your hair starting with sections that frame your face.
- After the first section is dry, tie it off at the top of your hairline with an elastic, mirroring a unicorn horn.
- Repeat section by section until every strand is secure to the top of your head. You can use multiple elastics if that works best for you, we’ve tried to do the whole style with just one and it’s always best to use multiple, maybe three for top of crown, middle and lower level hair.
- After the style is complete take out all the elastics. By using this unicorn method, you will create an amazing amount of volume with gorgeous texture to your ends without using any other heat styling tools, curlers or rollers.
- Strike a pose.
There’s just something about spending the start of your day as a mystical unicorn that keeps you happy all day long.
Even Chrissy Teigen loves to reverse her hair routine!
Robin Masshole Mommy says
I get keratin treatments, so I pay lots of money to get rid of my natural curls. I tend to always wear my hair down because I love that I finally have the straight hair that I always wanted.
Valerie says
Going to have to try it.
Dollhouse says

I am seriously so boring when it comes to doing my hair, I never know what to do and I need all the help I can get. Thanks for a fab tutorial!
Dannie says
Oh I love this! I’ve been trying to figure out ways to get more volume in my blowout. Despite having naturally curly hair, I seriously lack volume (it’s where triangle head comes from!) so this is going to be super helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Dannie

Your hair is beautiful. I feel like my hair is so thin 🙁 I don’t know if it would work for my texture hair.
Rachel Langer says
I have been using conditioner first for about a year now – people think I am crazy! Glad I am not alone. This blow-out looks fantastic! Now if I could only use a round brush without it getting caught in my hair! I do not girl well.
Dollhouse says
Wow! You are ahead of the game, Rachel. TRESemmé’s products are specially formulated to use the conditioner first. We love it!

I haven’t used Tresemme products in quite a long time. My hair is a much different texture than yours being AA so I’m not even sure if I can pull that style off. You totally rocked it though!
Rose Sahetapy says
I need a big round brush like that. It makes easy and quick to style the hair. The video really helps to do the steps.

This brush is amazing. TRESemmé’s new line creates beautifully bouncy hair. XO

My hair is usually just put back into a bun, and I never wear makeup, I should really at least start doing things with my hair! Tutorials make it a lot easier for people like myself who never do anything with their hair! 🙂

Ugh my hair is so flat it’s not even funny. I’ve got to try this tutorial out, my hair needs all the volume it can get! I usually purchase Tresemme products so I’ll be on the lookout for the flexible hairspray. 🙂
