Tips to Make Your Blowout Last Longer
You feel so great when you leave the salon after your blowout. Don’t you want to make that look last longer? Keep that fresh blowout look by using some of these great tips.
Prep and Wash
Super squeaky clean hair is the foundation of a good blowout, so make sure to wash your hair really well, especially around the roots. This will help you get the best blowout you can.
Humidity is not your friend
If the weather is going to be humid and your hair normally gets frizzy, talk to your blowout stylist. There are smoothing gels your stylist can add so that your blowout will stay great, even in the humidity.
Hands Off
After your blowout your hair will be hard to resist, but keep your hands off! Touching your hair makes it lose volume and makes your scalp start producing more oils. Keeping your hair hands-free will make your blowout last.
Satin Nights
Sleeping on a satin pillowcase really does keep you from waking up with tangles and flatness. A satin pillowcase will prevent breakage and help your blowout style stay intact. You can also cover your hair with a silk scarf instead.
Scrunchies are your friend
When the wind starts blowing or the rain comes down, protect your blowout with a scrunchie. Pull up your hair in a loose ponytail or bun to protect your style.
Moisture- the enemy
Moisture will kill your blowout, so watch the sweat. If you work out, use a headband that absorbs sweat to prevent your hair from going limp and ruining your blowout.
The Dry Secret
Dry shampoo provides volume and absorbs oil, so it will keep your blowout going longer. Just spray some on your roots at night and let it do its magic. When you wake up you won’t have to use regular shampoo (which will drag your blowout down), and your blowout will look as good as new.
