Use minimal product: One of the most important things to remember when you're blow drying your hair is to use a minimal amount of product. The lesser you use, the less sticky or heavy and itchy your hair will feel. “If you use minimal product, your hair won’t feel weighed down,” says celebrity stylist Justine Marjan.

Washing the hair twice works in tandem with the tip that suggests using minimal product on the hair. Alli Webb, founder of Drybar says, washing the hair twice makes them cleaner and perfectly prepped for a blow dry. It also removes all the dirt, grime, and oils in the hair and the scalp. Alli recommends using a clarifying shampoo for best results.

Professional hair stylists usually recommend not using a conditioner at all before any kind of hair styling. Conditioning the hair makes it too soft (yeah, there is such a thing!) and too smooth for holding the hairstyle. But we’re creatures of habit and using a conditioner is one of them. Opt for a paraben-free conditioner to condition only the ends. This will prevent your scalp from getting oily faster.

As a post-styling product, use a shine spray instead of your regular leave-in serum. Leave-in serums are made up heavy silicones and deposit more moisture than needed. This leaves the hair turning greasy and sticky faster. Using a shine spray would make your hair shine without all the unwanted greasiness.

One of the worst things you can do to blow-dried hair is to keep running your fingers through it all day long. You touch a lot of things throughout the day and if you run your fingers through your hair, you'll end up exposing your hair to oil and dirt which will make it lose its bounce.

We know we're asking a little too much from you, but if you want to look fabulous you have to remember that you have to go that extra mile for it. So, try and sleep on a silk pillowcase as, “This will allow your blowout to last longer by keeping moisture in your hair while you sleep, preventing frizz and bedhead in the morning,” says a celeb hairstylist.

If you overuse dry shampoo, you might end up with product buildup which will ultimately make your hair look like it has dandruff. So, use dry shampoo sparingly and only on the areas that look oily. “Overuse of dry shampoo can result in white powder residue and buildup,” says a celeb hairstylist.

Bangs and face-framing layers can get really oily really fast. So, if you want to preserve your hairdo for longer, what you can do is wash your hair strategically. Only shampoo your bangs or your layers up front and keep the rest of your hair secured.
