The Look: A Fresh Blowout (That's Actually Days-Old)
Mix a dry shampoo + a volumizing hairspray
We all love using dry shampoo when we need to fake clean hair, but more often than not, that quick fix is gone within a few hours and that greasy, limp look reappears. David says the secret to making faux freshness last all day is pairing the dry shampoo with a volumizing hairspray. The dry shampoo will get rid of any oily build-up while the hairspray will add volume from roots to tips.
To begin, spray the dry shampoo at the roots. Don't be afraid to overuse the product; you want to spray a liberal amount of shampoo. Next, use a paddle brush to massage the dry shampoo into your scalp and distribute it through your hair. Finally, mist the volumizing hairspray at your roots for even more lift.
We always hope the next hairstyling product we buy will be the miracle we've been searching for -- something to make our flat, frizzy, or unruly hair look full, smooth and fabulous.
But, more often than not, it doesn't perform the magic we were banking on. And here's why, say stylists: No matter what the label promises, no one hair product will make your hair dreams come true. The reason? Hairstyling products need to be paired together for that straight-from-the-salon effect.
When your stylist mixes different creams or serums in the palm of her hand, she's creating a custom concoction so that you walk out of the salon with perfect hair.
To take the guesswork out of this tricky concept, we asked our go-to stylists to share their favorite, no-fail hair cocktail recipes. Here, their secret concoctions for swoon-worthy hair.
