There are thousands of ways to get effortless-looking waves, but only one way to get the Jen Atkin-approved kind that you see on the red carpet.

"A blowout is so important," said the celeb stylist. "People don't really think of the base of a style before they want to achieve it," she furthered. The pro is all about getting the look at home, but she has a few pointers that you probably haven't tried. If you follow Jen's advice (and you absolutely should), you only need one key tool: the Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryer.

Sure, you'll want to do your usual wet hair prep with a product, like a wave spray or a volumizing spray. But the rest of your hair success is up to the dryer. "Having a good dryer is such a game changer. With the Dyson Supersonic, you can actually get a style you really want without using any hot tools," noted the pro.

You'll have to get acquainted with the Supersonic's two vital attachments: the smoothing nozzle and the diffuser. But once you do, your waves will never be the same (a.k.a. better than ever).
