Avoiding water-based products is also key to a bulletproof summer blowout as water will cause hair to revert back to its natural, poofy state, says Samantha Sheppard, lead stylist at GLAM+GO. Instead, she recommends using a light serum or oil to smooth out any existing flyaways you may have. (Try John Freida Frizz Ease Extra Strength 6 Effects+ Serum, $11.99)
Dry shampoo may help keep your hair feeling fresh and clean between washes, but Richards also says it's a great way to protect your blowout from potential damage caused by sweat. She recommends keeping some R+CO Death Valley Dry Shampoo, $17, in your bag in order to keep your blowout bouncy and sweat-free.
Like dry shampoo, anti-humidity hairspray can also be your BFF this summer as it will lock and seal in your style when it's hot and humid outside, says Sheppard. (Try Tresemme Climate Control Finishing Hair Spray, $4.92.)
Preserving your blowout also extends to sleeping with the right hairstyles at night. Richards says that sleeping in a high twisted pinned bun (not a hair tie!) prevents dents, eliminates frizz and keeps your hair cool.

The right brush can make or break your blowout. Vercher says that while there a plenty of brushes on the market suited to different hair types, a natural bristle brush tends to work best on all types of hair. (Try Beauty by Earth Boar Bristle Hair Brush, $19)
