Expert Tips: How to Make Your Blowout Last Longer

Nothing beats the fresh-from-the-salon bounce of a blowout. But what if it could stay flawless for days? As seasoned stylists know, a few smart habits make all the difference.

1. Start with clean hair
Thoroughly wash your hair to remove all styling product buildup, especially at the roots. Residue weighs hair down, causing it to lose shape faster. Rinse shampoo completely for the best results.

2. Use dry shampoo
For many blowout styles, dry shampoo adds just the right stiffness to your strands. It's perfect for effortless, lived-in looks that hold up.

3. Protect your hair in bed
Nighttime tossing and turning can flatten your style. Swap to a satin pillowcase to minimize friction, or wrap your hair in a satin scarf for extra hold.

4. Protect your hair from moisture
Steamy shower ahead but styled hair? Layer a cotton cloth or t-shirt over your locks, then top with a shower cap. Keep it on until you're out of the bathroom—humid air is a style killer.
