Whether you’re throwing on your best blazer for the big interview or throwing on a bikini for the big vacation, Deseo Salon & BlowDry knows your hair has to be on point. Our Denver clients don’t have to settle for anything less than smooth, silky perfection. The go-to for many Colorado beauty gurus is the classic Brazilian blowout and salon blowouts for an eye-catching ‘do. But what if you’re not quite a beauty guru and too busy for an intensive hair care regimen? Is it possible to achieve that soft, straight look without returning to the salon every other day? The answer is always a resounding “yes!” when it comes to meeting your #hairgoals! Learn how to get the most out of your salon blowout for longer with these simple tips and tricks.
1. Get Off to the Right Start Before Your Blowout
The first step of your hair journey is always the most important. When you’re ready to take the leap into a fresh, new style, visit our team of professionals for a relaxing spa day to strengthen and nourish your tired hair. As a salon that offers specialty services like the Brazilian blowout, Deseo is always here to give you a full luxury treatment. This means detoxing your hair and scalp and enriching your natural beauty with a nutrient-infused blend of professional quality products.
We start with a deep conditioning treatment that preps your hair for an Instagram-worthy blowout. This step will repair built-up damage so the strands can hold the effects of a salon blowout for longer and feel softer. Blowouts are a great option for travelers who don’t want to worry about straightening, curling, or styling their hair. Locking in flawless style means less worrying about frizzed, fried, or faded ends and more adventuring!
2. Embrace Minimalism
The great thing about prepping your hair with a deep conditioning treatment is that you can worry less about daily cleanses. In fact, washing your hair less often maintains your locks’ smoothness and shape. Just treat your lovely locks to Oribe’s Gold Lust Dry Shampoo between washes to keep your radiant glow shining bright.
A good trick for styling with dry shampoo is to spray the product towards your roots, then brush outwards to the ends. Try flipping your hair and using a paddle brush to distribute the dry shampoo evenly throughout your hair.
3. Let Your Hair Down and Loosen Up
Tight ponies, buns, and topknots create rough bends in salon-treated hair. To get the most life out of your Brazilian blowout, you’ll want to avoid pulling and tugging as much as possible. Treat your hair gently by using bobby pins to keep your sculpted locks out of your face. Also, invest in some cute headbands for working out, your hair will thank you!
Going swimming? While it’s best to avoid water altogether and opt for sunbathing, instead, consider tying your hair up or using a bathing cap in lap pools to preserve the style.
4. It’s All in the Products
Of course, sooner or later it will be time to wash your beautiful, flawless hair. But don’t worry about rinsing the style away in the shower! A blowout is easily maintained with high-quality products. The most important buzzwords to look for are sulfate-free and chlorine-free. These chemicals interact poorly with the products used during treatment and can easily dry hair out, stripping it of vital nutrients.
Opt for products designed to maintain straight, silky hair like Kérastase’s full line of keratin- and protein-rich shampoo, conditioner, and serums. Best of all, Kérastase’s formulas are enriched with natural botanicals to moisturize and renew your hair with each wash. Use L’Incroyable Blowdry Creme prior to blow-drying and styling your hair for an added boost to your look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make my salon blowout last longer?
To extend the life of your salon blowout, start with a deep conditioning treatment to repair damage and help hair hold the style longer. Between washes, use a dry shampoo (like Oribe’s Gold Lust Dry Shampoo) to refresh roots without stripping the style. Avoid tight ponytails, buns, or topknots that create bends in the hair, use bobby pins or headbands instead to keep hair neat without compromising the style.
What is a Brazilian blowout and how does it work?
A Brazilian blowout is a professional smoothing treatment that infuses the hair with keratin and bonding proteins to eliminate frizz and create a soft, silky, straight finish. The stylist applies a treatment formula, seals it with heat, and blow-dries the hair smooth. The result is a manageable, frizz-free style that requires less daily styling effort and can last for weeks.
Should I wash my hair before a blowout appointment?
Before a blowout, your stylist will typically start with a deep conditioning and cleansing treatment to prep the hair, detoxing the scalp and infusing strands with nourishing nutrients. This ensures the hair is clean, strong, and receptive to the blowout treatment. You don’t need to pre-wash at home; your stylist will prepare your hair properly as part of the service.
How often should I wash my hair to maintain a salon blowout?
Washing your hair less often is key to maintaining a blowout’s smoothness and shape. Between washes, use a dry shampoo sprayed at the roots and brushed outward to the ends for a refreshed look. A paddle brush and a quick flip of the hair can distribute dry shampoo evenly and help revive the style’s volume and silkiness.
What products should I use to maintain a blowout at home?
Use sulfate-free and chlorine-free hair care products, these harsh chemicals can interact poorly with blowout treatment products and strip nutrients from the hair. Look for keratin- and protein-rich shampoos, conditioners, and serums like Kérastase’s line, which also includes natural botanicals for moisture. Kérastase’s L’Incroyable Blowdry Creme applied before blow-drying adds extra smoothness and protection.
Can I swim after getting a salon blowout?
It’s best to avoid getting your hair wet after a blowout for as long as possible to preserve the treatment. If you need to swim, tie your hair up or use a swim cap, especially in lap pools, to protect the style from water and chlorine. Salt water and pool water can both break down the blowout treatment and reintroduce frizz.
