Morphology

blowout = blow (semi-transparent) = out + blow

The salon hairstyle sense comes from 'blow' (as in blow-dry) + 'out' (resulting style), so it's recognizable to learners familiar with blow-drying but somewhat specialized. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Blowout comes from blow + out, because hair is dried and shaped by blowing hot air 'out' of a dryer. So a salon 'blowout' is the smooth, full hairstyle made by blow-drying.
