2. Use the Right Styling Products (With Specific Picks!)
Products can make or break your blowout. Here are our stylist-approved essentials:
- Dry Shampoo: Kérastase Fresh Affair or Living Proof Perfect Hair Day
- Volumizing Spray: Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray (at roots only!)
- Heat Protectant: Kérastase Heat Protectants
- Finishing Serum: Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil for mid-lengths to ends
💡 Tip: Apply dry shampoo on day 1, not just when hair gets oily. It helps prevent oil buildup from the start.
3. Protect Your Blowout While Sleeping
Don’t let all that salon effort go to waste overnight. Here’s how you can sleep smart to maintain your blowout for days.
- Use a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent frizz
- Tie hair loosely in a high topknot or pineapple
- Use a silk bonnet for full coverage
🌙 Night Routine Tip: Lightly mist ends with a conditioning spray and gently brush through with a boar bristle brush before bed.
4. Fight Humidity and Moisture
Humidity is the biggest enemy of a blowout. Avoid frizz with these stylist hacks:
- Always shower with a shower cap to block steam
- Carry an umbrella or a hat for rainy days
- Use an anti-humidity spray like Living Proof Humidity Shield
🌦️ Climate Tip: In humid areas like Medford, Massachusetts, avoid walking near active steam vents, saunas, or hot yoga studios post-blowout.
5. Extend Your Blowout With Quick Touch-Ups
When your blowout starts falling flat, don’t panic, revive it.
- Lightly mist roots with water and re-blowdry with a round brush
- Use a curling wand on low heat to add bounce to the ends
