5 Easy Blow-Dry Tricks That Make Your Style Last Longer
There's nothing better than a really good blow-dry – and nothing more frustrating than watching it fall flat a few hours later. Whether you're after a big, bouncy finish or something smooth and sleek, the secret to making your style last longer lies in a few simple tricks. From how you prep your hair to the way you use your hairdryer, small tweaks to your routine can make a big difference. Because who doesn't want their blow-dry to look just as good on day three as it did on day one?
Start with the right prep
A good blow-dry starts with freshly washed hair and the right styling products. Apply Hershesons Zhoosh Foam to damp hair to create body, volume and hold without weighing lengths down. For best results, make sure to really work it in until it’s imperceptible in your roots.
Focus on your roots
If your blow-dry often loses volume, pay extra attention to the roots. Use a round brush (like our Pro Blow-Dry Brush) to lift sections up and away from the scalp as you dry, directing the heat towards the roots to build volume. Getting the foundations right will help the rest of your style hold its shape for longer.
Make sure your hair is completely dry
One of the biggest blow-dry mistakes you can make? Leaving a little moisture behind. Even slightly damp hair can cause your carefully styled lengths to lose their shape, particularly if your hair is naturally prone to frizz. Work methodically through each section until it's completely dry before moving on.
Let hair cool before touching it
Heat helps shape the hair, but cooling is what helps set it. Once you've finished blow-drying a section, use the cool-shot button on your Great Hairdryer or wind it into a roller while it's still warm. Leave it to cool completely before releasing for a bouncier, longer-lasting finish.
Don't overdo it on the finishing products
While it's tempting to load up on hairspray, oils and serums, too much product can weigh down a fresh blow-dry. Keep things light, using a little Hershesons Almost Everything Cream to smooth flyaways and add polish where needed.
