Keep your locks replenished after a blowout
"It's important to choose the right replenishing products after a blowout or cleanse to ensure you can restore hair's natural shine and moisture without ruining your style by making hair look too oily. Use a product, like Wen Spring Fresh Floral Replenishing Treatment Mist, $40, that gives hair an instant pick-me-up and boost of moisture and hydration after drying/styling," says Chaz Dean, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Wen Hair and Body Care.

Hot rollers are your new BFF
"Hot rollers will do the trick!" celebrity hairstylist J. Michael says. "Setting a couple of rollers at the crown area a day or two after your blow-dry will help reset some body and volume to last throughout the week — especially for finer hair types. (Try Remington Ionic Conditioning Hair Setter, $20.) Another great way to prolong your blowout at home is by using a dry shampoo. Dry shampoo helps absorb any excess oils you may have to extend the life of your blow-dry."

Make the right towel choice for post-shower drying
"Instead of drying your hair with a regular bath towel, which can be rough on your hair, try a microfiber hair wrap," celebrity hair stylist Jessica Shakir says. "This will cut down on the drying time and promote smoother hair due to its frizz-fighting benefits. You can also use a hair turban overnight to protect your hair and extend the style." Our favorite is the DevaCurl DevaTowel Anti-Frizz Microfiber Towel, $20.

"Also, to refresh your mane and revitalize your hairstyle, you can fluff up the roots by using a bit of warm heat from your blow-dryer, and gently backcomb at the roots using a teasing comb and a light spritz of a volumizing, root lifter," Shakir adds. "This is a great way to cheat a bouncy blowout!"

Choose the right shampoo and conditioner system
"For prolonging a wash, it's important to use a shampoo and conditioner system that cleanses deep and will provide long-lasting smoothness, without damaging hair," says Marcus Francis, a celebrity stylist for Suave. "Suave Coconut + Vanilla Repairing Shampoo, $3, and Conditioner, $3, works great as a damage repairer on hair, giving you soft, strong strands that will allow you to skip out on washing so often."

"For prolonging a blow-dry, you can also try wearing a shower cap when you shower so the moisture doesn't affect the texture to come through the blowdry. Plus, using a Denman brush to touch up smoothness from a blowout will also bring lift throughout the hair to activate volume to the look," Francis says.
