The Best Products For a Long Lasting Blow-Dry (In Any Weather)

Its summer, and in Houston that means 90°+ heat, 85% humidity, and the possibilty of a random thunderstorm popping up at any moment. If anyone can tell you how to get your blowdry smooth, weightless, and lasting for days (and I mean days) a Houston stylist can, so I asked my co-workers at Beautique Day Spa and Salon to help me narrow down our favorites...

Form Fatale Bodifying All-Over Gel by Kerastase 

This blow-dry gel is much different than a men's styling gel, so don't let that scare you. It's not sticky or stiff, and Form Fatale has an extra-fine texture that perfectly shapes hair to give all-over volume and body that lasts. It leaves hair super shiny and provides UV and heat protection, all without weighing hair down one bit. 

Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus 

A humidity resistant volumizing spray mousse with serious results that wont fall flat. It's designed to create mega-volume by pumping up the root with extra-hold and its great for long or heavy hair. Spray this mousse into the crown of damp hair for amazing lift!

Oleo Relax Slim by Kerastase

If you have rebellious, dry, curly, or frizzy hair that needs extra smoothing this one provides 24-hour frizz control and reduces volume by 50% - if you can't seem to get your mane under control you will fall in love with Oleo Relax Slim! It nourishes the hair fiber from within- sealing water out- and creating optimal shine and softness. Apply to towel dried hair, start with a small amount at the ends and work your way up. To tame those uber-curly baby hairs around your face, hit them with what's left on your hands.

Oribe Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray

This spray not only does wonders to lock in curling and flat iron styles, its great for holding down your blow-dry curl, too! It gives heat protection and an incredible lacquer-like shine that will stay curled, smoothed, or flipped in the toughest conditions on the most "stick straight" hair. After hair is about 70% dry, spray onto each section as you round brush.

Bumble and Bumble Dryspun Finish

This buildable dry finishing spray acts like a dry shampoo. It soaks up oil and gives hair a soft, airy texture that creates instant, amazing volume. It's GREAT on fine flat hair. (FYI we are straight up addicted to this stuff!) Once your hair is dry, spray to your heart's content into roots and underneath layers. You can use this to freshen up your style as often as you want- it will hold off greasy roots and add days to your style!
