How to Make Your Salon Blowout Last All Week

Tips from the stylists at Cabello Salon, Langford’s go-to destination for great hair days.

There’s nothing quite like walking out of the salon with that fresh, bouncy blowout — smooth, shiny, and full of life. The trick is keeping it that way once you’re back in real life, with West Coast humidity, workouts, and busy schedules doing their best to flatten your volume or bring back frizz.

At Cabello Salon, our stylists love sharing pro tips so your blowout lasts days instead of hours. Here’s how to stretch your salon style and keep your hair looking freshly done all week long.

💨 1. Start with the Right Shampoo & Conditioner

A long-lasting blowout begins before you even step into the salon chair. Use a lightweight, residue-free formula that won’t weigh hair down.

Our stylists recommend:

  • Kevin Murphy MAXI.WASH – A gentle detox shampoo that removes product build-up.

  • Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo & Conditioner – For soft, smooth hair that stays frizz-free longer.

Avoid heavy conditioners on the roots — focus mid-length to ends for the perfect clean foundation.

🧴 2. Use Heat Protectant & Lightweight Styling Products

The right prep products can make or break your blowout. A good heat protectant will shield your strands from heat damage while keeping your style soft and flexible.

Top stylist picks:

  • Kevin Murphy EVER.SMOOTH – Activated by heat, it helps extend the life of your blowout while creating silky smoothness.

  • Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray – Adds volume without stiffness.

These products help your blowout stay shiny and bouncy without turning greasy or limp.

😴 3. Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

Don’t let your pillow undo your stylist’s work! Before bed:

  • Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

  • Gently twist your hair into a loose top bun or wrap it in a silk scarf.

  • Avoid tight elastics that can cause creases or breakage.

In the morning, a quick touch-up with a round brush and dryer will revive volume instantly.

💧 4. Refresh with Dry Shampoo

On day 2 (or 3!), your scalp’s natural oils start to appear — but don’t rush to wash. A good dry shampoo absorbs oil and restores volume.

Try:

  • Kevin Murphy FRESH.HAIR – A lightweight, scented dry shampoo that refreshes instantly.

  • Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder – Perfect for adding grip and body to second-day hair.

Pro tip: Apply dry shampoo before bed to absorb oils overnight for an even fresher look in the morning.

🌦️ 5. Beat West Coast Humidity

Living in Langford means dealing with unpredictable weather — from misty mornings to sunny afternoons. Use an anti-humidity spray or finishing serum to lock in shine and keep frizz at bay.

Favorites at Cabello:

  • Kevin Murphy SHIMMER.SHINE for a lightweight gloss.

  • Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer to protect against moisture and UV damage.

✨ Final Tip: Schedule Regular Blowouts

A professional blowout every 1–2 weeks helps maintain healthy ends and polished style. With the right home care routine and salon-quality products, you can enjoy that “just left Cabello” look all week long.
