One of the best confidence boosters is walking out of a salon with a professional blowout. For many, though, they struggle to make that good hair day last. Whether you have an event or just want to maintain your stylist’s handiwork for the week, here are a few ways to extend the life of your salon blowout. 

How to Maximize Your Salon Blowout

1. Use Dry Shampoo

As the holy grail of blowout maintenance, dry shampoo helps extend the life of your styled hair for days on end. While most people use the product to remove grease from their hair, those with dry scalps will also benefit from it after a few days.

Your hair comes in contact with everyday dirt, debris, product, and pollution, so if you forego washing it to preserve the blowout, you need other means of cleaning them out of your locks. Spray the dry shampoo throughout the length of your hair, and use a paddle brush to distribute it evenly. 

2. Avoid Tight Ponytails

The quickest foil to a beautiful blowout is a high pony or top knot. By contorting your hair to get it out of your face, you will be left with odd creases and bends in your hair. To save the blowout while still being able to tie back your hair, opt for a loose bun secured with bobby pins instead. 

3. Protect Your Hairline

When washing your face or taking a shower, you need to protect your blowout from any moisture. A wide cotton headband can help your hairline avoid getting frizzy while you do your daily skincare routine. When you get in the shower, a plastic shower cap can protect your strands from the steam. 

4. Don’t Play With Your Hair

While it can be tempting to comb your fingers through your perfect tresses, the most resilient blowouts depend on minimal fuss. Refrain from aimlessly playing with your hair or throwing front pieces behind your ear.
