Update: A regular told me my blowouts were too tight on her scalp

She said it felt like a headache was starting every time, so I switched to using a larger round brush and less tension. My volume took a hit for a week while I figured out the new technique, but her comfort is way more important. Has anyone found a good middle ground for smoothness without the pull?

That sounds like a very sensitive scalp, honestly.

My friend had a similar issue with a client who complained about tension. She started using those brushless blowout clips for the roots while the hair cooled. It gave a smooth finish without the same pulling sensation.

Interesting technique, but that seems like a workaround for a bigger problem. If the tension is that bad during the actual blowout, the stylist might be pulling sections too tight or using the wrong brush type. A sensitive scalp needs a gentler hand from the start, not just a different clip at the end.
