DIY blowouts have been a recent phenomenon here in New York, with top salons offering their clients private styling lessons. (At an additional cost, of course.)

In theory, it's a great way to perfect your skills and save money in the long run. In practice, however, I've yet to see salon-quality results from an at-home attempt. My suggestion?
