The North Hills Blowout & Styling Guide | Craft Collective Salon Group

Nothing transforms your confidence like a flawless blowout. Whether it’s for an event, interview, or just a well-deserved boost, a professional finish makes all the difference. At Craft Collective Salon Group in Pittsburgh’s North Hills, our stylists combine precision, product science, and sustainability to deliver lasting results.

This guide breaks down how to achieve and maintain salon-quality blowouts at home — and what makes our in-salon techniques so unique.

1. The Craft Collective Approach

Our blowouts start with customization. No two hair types require the same heat, brush, or prep — which is why we tailor every step to your texture and desired finish.

Each service begins with a consultation, where your stylist selects the right products and tools to achieve shine, volume, and longevity.Explore how this same custom approach defines our work in The North Hills Guide to Choosing Your Perfect Stylist.

Step 1: Foundation Is Everything

Healthy, hydrated hair is the key to a long-lasting blowout. We start with a clarifying rinse followed by moisture-balancing shampoo and conditioner.

Favorites include:

• R+Co Gemstone Shampoo & Conditioner for color-treated hair.

• Wella Color Motion+ for smoothing and protection.

• Aveda Botanical Repair for strengthening from the inside out.

Step 2: Prep with Purpose

Before styling, we protect each strand from heat and humidity. Lightweight prep sprays and creams add shine and elasticity without buildup.

Our go-to combinations:

• R+Co Bleu “Essential Hair Tonic” for hydration.

• Aveda “Heat Relief Thermal Protector” for smoothing.

• Wella “EIMI Perfect Me” for flexible polish.

  
  

These products help maintain that “fresh blowout” look for days — even in Pittsburgh’s unpredictable weather.For styling that lasts through every season, check out Top 3 Blowout Styles for North Hills Events.

Step 3: Technique Matters

Our stylists use low, consistent heat and professional brushes to minimize friction while maximizing volume.

• Round brushes for smooth curls and lift.

• Flat brushes for sleek, straight finishes.

• Diffusers for texture preservation and natural curls.

  
  

The result is effortless polish that feels light, clean, and touchable.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

Once the blowout is complete, we seal in shine with R+Co Bleu’s Optical Illusion Oil or Wella’s Oil Reflections Serum. These lightweight finishes add brilliance without residue.

You can maintain the effect at home by using silk pillowcases, avoiding heavy oils, and refreshing midweek with dry shampoo.See additional shine strategies in The Secret to Long-Lasting Shine (Without Heavy Oils).

2. Sustainable Styling Practices

Our styling tools are selected for energy efficiency and long-term performance. We reduce waste with biodegradable towels, refillable sprays, and cruelty-free formulas.

Even our blowout stations are designed to minimize water and power use — aligning with the values outlined on the Sustainable Beauty Philosophy page.

3. Blowouts for Every Occasion

• Professional polish: Smooth, sleek, and boardroom-ready.

• Weekend waves: Soft movement for brunches and errands.

• Event glam: Big curls and volume for North Hills weddings and galas.
