Brushing em Lisboa

Blow dry and blowout in Lisbon

A blow dry at Tiago Zattar Hair is a one-to-one finish, not a rushed pass under a hood. The hair is washed or damped, protected from heat, then dried and brushed into the shape you actually wear: smooth, with movement, or a softer bend. The cut and the hair’s condition decide how long the finish holds. Healthy, well-conditioned hair keeps a blowout longer than hair that is rough or overloaded with product.

There is a quicker blow dry and a longer signature finish, plus event styling when you need the hair to hold for a specific day. The same appointment can follow a cut. Heat is kept purposeful: a protectant goes on first, and the brush work follows the direction the hair should fall, rather than ironing every section flat. If the hair is very dry, a short conditioning step before the dry makes the surface smoother without coating it. Choose the quick blow dry when the hair is already in good condition and you want it smooth the same day. Choose the signature or event finish when the style has to hold for a dinner, photographs or a celebration. Short hair is €15 for the quick service and €25 for the signature. Medium hair is €20 and €30. Long hair is €25 and €35. A wash on its own is €5 when it is not already included. The blow dry does not repair split ends and it does not replace deep conditioning. If the surface feels rough, book conditioning as well so the brush is not working against dry hair. Say on the phone whether you want the quick dry or the longer finish, and how long the hair is, so the appointment is timed for it.

The process

1. A look at the hair and the shape you want for the day.
2. Wash or dampen, then a heat protectant suited to the hair.
3. Blow dry with a brush, working with the cut rather than against it.
4. A finish — smooth, bent, or dressed — and a note on what will hold it at home.

Who it suits

It suits anyone who wants a polished finish for work or an event, and anyone whose cut needs to be seen properly before they decide on the next trim. It is also the right add-on after a treatment, when the hair should be dried with control instead of left rough.

Aftercare

Sleep on a smooth pillowcase if you want the finish into the next day. Avoid piling heavy oil on the roots. A light mist of water and a quick pass with the dryer is usually enough to reset the shape. Book the next blow dry when the hair has lost the line, not on a fixed weekly rule.
