Your Blowout, But Better: How to Keep That Fresh Salon Look at Home

You walked out of Salon 955 with the perfect blowout—bouncy, smooth, and full of life. But how do you make that feeling last more than a day? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. With the right products, techniques, and a few pro secrets, you can extend that just-styled look and feel confident every day between appointments.

Start With a Good Foundation

A long-lasting blowout starts in the shower. Choose a sulfate-free shampoo and a lightweight, hydrating conditioner to cleanse without leaving residue that weighs hair down. After washing, gently pat or squeeze your hair dry using a microfiber towel to reduce frizz and friction before you even plug in the dryer.

Don’t Skip Heat Protection

This step is essential. Before picking up your blow dryer or round brush, apply a heat protectant to shield your strands from damage and dryness. Our go-tos? Redken Thermal Spray and Acidic Bonding Leave-In, which help smooth the cuticle while keeping hair soft, shiny, and protected during heat styling.

Work in Small, Strategic Sections

Blow-drying your hair in large chunks can lead to uneven results and frizz. Instead, divide your hair into small, manageable sections, working from the bottom up. Use a round brush to lift at the roots for volume and curve through the ends for a polished finish. Pro tip: dry your bangs or face-framing pieces first, while they’re still damp, to prevent unwanted creases.

Make It Last: Tips for Day 2 and Beyond

So you nailed your blowout—now let’s keep it going:

  • Use dry shampoo on your roots the night before to absorb oil while you sleep (yes, before bed!).

  • Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce frizz and friction.

  • Wrap your hair loosely in a silk scarf or use a soft scrunchie for a low pony to help preserve volume and shape overnight.

Need a Midweek Pick-Me-Up?

Whether you're heading to a special event, hosting a gathering, or just want to feel a little extra put-together, a quick refresh can work wonders. Book a blowout at Salon 955 and we'll bring your hair back to life in 45 minutes or less. Think of it as your secret weapon for a confidence boost that lasts all week.

Because great hair days shouldn’t be the exception—they should be the standard.
