Secrets to Keeping That Fresh-Salon Look for Days
There’s nothing quite like stepping out of the salon with a glossy, bouncy blowdry. Whether it’s for brunch with friends, a winter wedding, or the start of party season, a professional blowdry can instantly elevate your whole look. But how do you keep it looking salon-fresh for more than a day or two?
At ICONIC Hairdressing, we’ve got the answers—and the products—to help you stretch your style further. Whether you’re a regular in our Unlimited Blowdry Club or saving your salon visits for special occasions, these expert tips will help make every blowdry go the distance.
💦 1. It Starts at the Backwash: Prep Makes Perfect
A long-lasting blowdry starts with how your hair is washed. Clarifying shampoos remove buildup that weighs hair down, while lightweight conditioners (like Joico’s HydraSplash or Defy Damage lines) hydrate without leaving residue.
ICONIC tip: Ask your stylist about a detox shampoo or a pre-treatment mask. This creates the perfect foundation for bounce, volume, and shine.
🧴 2. Use the Right Styling Products—But Not Too Many
The biggest blowdry killer? Product overload.
We recommend starting with a lightweight primer or blowdry lotion. Our favourites include:
-
Color Wow Dream Coat – For humidity-proof, mirror-like shine.
-
Joico Heat Hero – Protects from heat while keeping hair smooth.
-
Joico JoiWhip Mousse – For body and hold without the crunch.
Always apply evenly through damp hair and avoid heavy oils before heat styling, which can weigh your hair down.
🛏️ 3. Sleep Smart: Silk Pillowcases & Loose Scrunchies
Cotton pillowcases create friction while you sleep—hello frizz and flattened curls. Swap to a silk or satin pillowcase to help your blowdry last longer and reduce breakage.
Need to tie your hair back? Use a soft, loose scrunchie and twist into a high bun or ponytail at bedtime to maintain shape and volume.
💨 4. Dry Shampoo is Your Secret Weapon
On day 2 (or 3!), a good dry shampoo can refresh roots, add volume, and absorb oil—without the need for another wash.
Try:
-
Color Wow Style on Steroids – Adds texture and volume.
-
Joico Weekend Hair Dry Shampoo – Extends your style up to 3 days.
Pro tip: Apply before bed, not just in the morning. It’ll absorb oil as you sleep and give you more volume come sunrise.
💁♀️ 5. Lock It In: Use a Finishing Spray
To hold your style without stiffness, mist your hair lightly with a finishing spray. This keeps your curls bouncy, your waves defined, and your volume intact—even if you’re dancing the night away.
Our go–to: Joico Flip Turn Volumizing Spray – flexible hold, mega body.
