Once in awhile, a professional blowout is worth the splurge — after all, it saves time in the morning when you have a whole brood to get out the door. But when you pay big bucks you want it to last more than 12 hours.
Hairstylist Fabio Scalia recently opened a new location at the Empire Hotel (along with another salon in Brooklyn Heights) where his staff has mastered the art of the blowout. Below, Fabio shares his tips on maintaining silky smooth locks.
Before you leave the salon: Wait 10 minutes after your blowout to go outside, after your hair cools off and the cuticles close up — otherwise your new ‘do will drink in the humidity.
Prior to bedtime: Avoid down pillows, which may create static and nests of knots in the back of the hair (a satin pillowcase will do). If you’ve gotten a straight blowout, wear it up so that tension is created and it stays flat. To avoid a mark or crease from the hair elastic use more than one ponytail so that it turns into waves.
In the morning: Fabio recommends Kerastase Voile Relax if your hair has no tendency to frizz. Brush your hair only if it is straight.
