Blowout & Styling in Mission, BC: How to Make It Last Longer

There is no feeling quite like walking out of our Mission salon with a fresh blowout. The bounce, the shine, and the confidence are addictive. But how do you keep that "just-finished" look for more than 24 hours? Here is the professional playbook.

The Dry Shampoo Strategy

Don't wait until your hair looks oily to use dry shampoo. Apply a light layer to your roots on the second morning of your blowout. This preemptively absorbs oils before they can weigh down the volume we worked so hard to create in the salon.

Hands Off!

The natural oils on your fingertips are the enemy of a fresh style. Every time you touch or run your fingers through your hair, you're transferring oil and breaking down the style's structure. In Mission, where we tend to adjust our hair for the wind, try to use a wide-tooth comb instead of your hands.

Steam is the Enemy

When you shower, your hair's nemesis is the steam, not just the water. Wear a high-quality, terry-cloth-lined shower cap to seal out the moisture. This prevents the "puff" that happens when humidity hits your perfectly smooth strands.

The Sleep Routine

Before bed, gather your hair at the very top of your head and secure it with a silk scrunchie (never a rubber band). This is often called "the pineapple." By sleeping on the underside of your hair, you protect the volume and the curl pattern on the top layers.
