How To Keep Your BlowOut Fresh For A Week

How To: Make Your BlowOut Last

It’s almost holiday season, the busiest time of year, which means you hardly have time to swipe on lipstick, much less blow out your hair. Since looking anything less than gorgeous isn’t an option, we’ve come up with a creative solution. Below is our ultimate guide to making your blow out last an entire week.

The Blowout

Tip: When you’re getting a blowout at a salon, ask the stylist to use little or no product. A drop or two of serum to protect from the heat and smooth frizz should be sufficient; any more and you’ll be weighed down with product by the end of the week. If you’re doing it yourself, take time to really do it right, with a diffuser and round brush. 

Day 1

We know it's hard, but don't touch your hair. Touching it stimulates oil production and the oil for your hands will start to weigh it down. You'll lose volume and we don't want that! We know it's old school but, Before bed, wrap hair loosely in a silk scarf.

Day 2

Your hair should still be in pretty good condition today. Use a comb to part hair an inch or two further to the side for some extra volume. Again, avoid touching!

Day 3

By now, your hair is probably starting to look and feel a bit limp. Revive roots with a restyling spray like Kenra's Daily Defense leave in conditioner. Spray it on your roots before using a round brush and hairdryer to refresh your strands. Trust us, it’s not cheating.

Day 4

Dry shampoo is your best friend. We like to use a powder version like MoroccanOil Dry Shampoo, which comes in light and dark and effectively soaks up excess oil and makes roots look fresh. Apply it to the crown of your head and then let it sit for a minute before brushing hair to remove any signs of the powder.

Day 5

One of the best reasons to skip shampoo is that it’s much easier to style dirty hair. Unwashed hair has the texture to stay in place, plus pesky flyaways won’t get in the way. Apply more dry shampoo at your roots as well as a MoroccanOil's heat protectant before curling hair with a curling iron. Bouncy waves will camouflage any dirtiness.

Day 6

When we think of dirty hair, we think of perfect braids. Without wispies and flyaways to worry about, your plaits are better than ever and no one will realize you haven’t washed in days.

Day 7

You finally made it! Before you run for the shower we have one more style up our sleeve. Use a texturizing dry shampoo like MoroccanOil Dry Shampoo Spray to majorly boost your volume and create a trendy topknot. 

We hope this helped to give you great ideas and alternatives to keep your Blowout looking fabulous, styled and gorgeous. We want you to be beautiful with little to no time and effort.
