A professional blowout isn’t just about skill — it’s also about using the right tools. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the Fabio Scalia blowout method using the La Mora Double Bristle Hair Brush, our Italian-crafted styling essential that delivers smoothness, shine, and lasting shape.
This routine works especially well for fine to medium wavy hair, but the principles apply to almost every hair type.
Step 1: Start with Clean, Damp Hair
Begin on freshly washed, towel-dried hair. Apply a volumizing primer at the roots to create lift, then use a lightweight heat protectant from midshaft to ends. This prevents damage while keeping your style weightless.
Step 2: Detangle & Distribute Product
Before styling, detangle gently using the Claudia Paddle Brush — a must-have for even product distribution. Always start brushing from the ends and work your way up, especially when hair is wet and most fragile.
Step 3: Section Hair Like a Pro
Divide your hair into four quadrants: one vertical part down the middle, then one horizontal part across. Start with the bottom back section — smaller sections (about the width of the brush) give you more control and a polished result.
Step 4: The La Mora Advantage
The La Mora Double Bristle Hair Brush is handcrafted in Italy from walnut wood and features a combination of white boar bristles and French nylon pins.
- White boar bristles distribute natural oils for shine and keep tension gentle.
- French nylon pins provide grip at the root, seal the cuticle, and smooth the ends without frizz.
This unique design means you get movement and polish in one pass.
Step 5: Blow-Dry with Steady Tension
Place the La Mora at the root and glide it down while following closely with your dryer. Keep airflow aligned with the hair shaft for a sleek finish. For soft bends at the ends, give the brush a slight twist as you reach the tips.
Pro Tip: Always keep sections taut. The right tension is what transforms your finish from “almost there” to true salon quality.
Step 6: Perfect the Face Frame
For bangs and face-framing layers, position the hair forward and work the brush back and forth a few times to smooth and shape.
Step 7: Care for Your Brush
Once finished, remove any hair from the La Mora using a cleaning rake. Because it’s made from 100% natural materials, proper care means this brush can last a lifetime.
