The Bouncy Blowout Is Back. Here’s Where Smoothing Fits In

The Bouncy Blowout Is Back. Here’s Where Smoothing Fits In

The bouncy blowout is having a moment, but this time around it’s a little softer. It still has lift at the roots and movement through the lengths, with a finish that looks polished without feeling stiff or overly done. It’s the kind of effortless hair clients bookmark time and time again for a reason.

What clients don’t see in that photo is the time it can take to smooth frizz while building volume. A Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment can make that part of their routine easier, giving them a smoother start without losing the body and movement they love.

Smooth Hair Can Still Have Volume

Clients sometimes hear “smoothing treatment” and assume their hair will have to be worn straight. With Cezanne, they can still curl their hair and create volume after a treatment. That’s an important distinction for someone bringing in a photo of a full, bouncy blowout.

A treatment helps make the hair they work with each day more manageable, while letting blow-dry techniques create the lift and shape. Together, they get a smoother finish and can still change up how they wear their hair.

Find Out Where the Blow-Dry Gets Difficult

Whether they’ve had a new cut or added layers, clients often find it harder to recreate a salon blowout at home. Find out where the process starts to go wrong. Are the lengths taking longer to smooth than they expected? Do certain sections become difficult to control? Are they going over the ends several times with a flat iron before they look finished? Walking through their routine can help you see where smoothing might make a difference.

It also helps you choose the right Cezanne service for them. Classic offers longer-lasting smoothing for clients who want to make day-to-day styling more manageable. Express offers a shorter-term option for someone who wants to try smoothing or fit in a quicker appointment. The right choice comes down to their hair, how they like to style it and what they want to find easier at home.

Give Them a Blowout They Can Work With

At the end of the appointment, show your client how you created the movement they love. Small tips can make the result easier to recreate: where to direct the airflow for volume, how long to rough-dry before reaching for a brush and which sections need the most attention.

Recommend aftercare that supports their smoothing results, along with heat protection for the days they blow-dry or use hot tools. One of our favorites for a perfect finish is Perfect Smoothing Styling Cream, a styling cream that enhances a smooth, sleek finish with plenty of shine. 


Be clear about what Cezanne does, too. It can make the hair easier to style while the shape and volume of a blowout still come from how they dry it.

A great blowout shouldn’t feel impossible to recreate after the first wash. When clients have smoother, more manageable hair and know how to build the volume themselves, they can enjoy that soft, bouncy finish between appointments, too.
