How To: Get a Blowout to Last Longer

I like to save money whenever I can, but my one splurge is getting my hair done every now and again. And here are my 5 tips on how I try to preserve my blowout as long as possible:

You'll need:

• hair pins or elastics
• teasing comb or brush
• dry shampoo
• satin pillowcase
• shower cap

How to:

1. Whenever your hair doesn't need to be seen, like in the car, at home, or when you're asleep, put your hair in a high, loose bun. This serves two purposes: it helps to hold the curl in your hair AND keeps volume. 
2. Another way to help keep volume is to use a teasing comb or brush to tease/back comb roots.
3. Dry shampoo is a great product to have! Use it to keep greasy hair at bay and to add volume. See my post here on how to use dry shampoo correctly.
4. The more you mess with your hair, the quicker your blow out will fall out. Keep frizz at bay by using a satin pillowcase. I use one nightly and swear by this tip. Your hair will stay smooth. Bonus: you won't have sleep creases on your face! See more benefits here.
5. Finally, when in the shower, use a shower cap! I snag these when I travel, but these can be purchased at any beauty supply store (Ulta has them too). Bonus: I keep one in my travel bag to wrap around dirty shoes in my suitcase!

Do you splurge or save when it comes to your hair?
