To make your blowout last longer, protect it while you sleep, keep it away from moisture and sweat, use dry shampoo before your roots look oily, and refresh it with a few minutes of heat instead of re-washing. With the right habits, most salon blowouts can last several days and still look polished.
Here's how to stretch every blowout, what to avoid, and how our Palos Heights stylists set you up for a smooth, long-lasting style.
How Long Should a Salon Blowout Last?
It depends on your hair type, your routine, and the weather. Thick or coarse hair often holds a blowout longer than fine hair, which can get oily or flat faster. Workouts, humidity, and rain all shorten its life. With the right care, most guests can go several days between washes and still have hair that looks freshly styled.
How to Make Your Blowout Last Longer at Night
How you sleep has the biggest impact on day-two and day-three hair.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. It creates less friction, so you wake up with fewer frizzy spots and flat sections.
Loosely twist your hair into a high bun. Secure it with a soft scrunchie or silk tie so you don't leave dents.
Keep it cool. Sleeping hot can make your roots oily faster, so a cooler room helps your style last.
Daytime Tips to Keep Your Blowout Smooth
Use dry shampoo early. Apply it at the roots the first night, before oil shows, so it absorbs as you sleep.
Avoid touching your hair. Running your fingers through it all day adds oil and breaks up the style.
Protect it from moisture. Wear a shower cap, skip steamy showers when you can, and keep an umbrella or hood handy.
Plan your workouts. Schedule your blowout after a workout day, or pull your hair up and use dry shampoo afterward.
Refresh with a little heat. A quick pass with a round brush or a few curls around your face revives your style without starting over.
What to Do Before Your Blowout Appointment
A long-lasting blowout starts before you sit in the chair. Healthy, hydrated hair holds a style better, so keep up with your conditioning and trims. Let your stylist know how long you want your style to last and what your week looks like, and they'll choose products and techniques to match.
If your hair is color-treated, a professional blowout is also a great way to keep it looking glossy between appointments. Learn more about protecting your color in how to keep blonde hair from turning brassy.
Is a Blowout Membership Worth It?
If you love walking out of the salon with smooth, polished hair, a membership makes it easy to keep that feeling on repeat. Our Blowout Membership in Palos Heights is $85 per month and includes two blowouts per month, each paired with a luxury treatment, a scalp massage, and your choice of style, plus 10% off all products.
Blowouts don't roll over and are with select stylists, so it's best for guests who like a regular routine. Membership details, pricing, and availability may vary, so ask our team for the latest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wash my hair before a blowout appointment?
Your blowout service includes a shampoo, so there's no need to wash beforehand. Just come in with your hair detangled and tell your stylist about any products you've used recently.
Does dry shampoo make a blowout last longer?
Yes. Using dry shampoo early, before your roots look oily, is one of the easiest ways to add an extra day or two to your style.
How can I keep my blowout from frizzing?
Keep your hair away from steam, rain, and sweat, sleep on silk or satin, and avoid touching it during the day. A light anti-frizz product on the ends helps on humid days.
