Why blowouts are the new self-care and how to make them last
What we consider self-care has shifted in recent years, and we’re so excited to see the recognition that there’s more to self-care than relaxing baths! Self-care includes anything that makes you feel better and that focuses on caring for yourself - and that can even be appearance based. An appointment at your favourite hair salon really is self-care, but there’s a specific hair appointment that has been deemed by many to be the epitome of self-care at the salon, and that is a blowout.
Blowouts have not only experienced a popularity revival in recent years (thank you social media), but they’re now the face of self-care at the hair salon. Bookings for blowouts are increasing with some clients scheduling a blowout before a big event and others maintaining a standing blowout appointment just because.
So here’s everything you need to know about Clique’s Signature Blowouts and how they’re the perfect form of self-care!
The experience of getting a blowout
A blowout appointment feels like a luxury experience though it’s incredibly affordable. A blowout is a hair-styling service that goes beyond just drying your hair - it focuses on achieving a specific, polished look. Your stylist will wash your hair with professional-quality haircare products and you’ll have the option of upgrading your appointment to include specific treatments. Your hair artist will then blow dry and style your hair using a round brush, giving you that bouncy blowout you’re looking to achieve. During your appointment you’ll be offered a beverage and your stylist will spend the time with you to get to know you and ensure that you’re having a great time. Once your service is finished, you’ll leave the salon with bouncy, healthy-looking hair that’s perfectly set. You’ll then be ready to take on the world!
Blowouts increase your confidence
From the moment you walk into the salon to days after your appointment, you really will feel like your best self. Getting a blowout makes you feel incredible for a few reasons:
The experience itself is pampering and luxurious
Your hair will look beautifully styled for days afterwards
Your appearance will look put-together with little to no effort from your end
How to make your blowout last
You want your blowout to last as long as possible, and we want the same for you! Here’s what you should do after your appointment to keep your blowout looking fresh:
Be careful how you sleep. You’ll want to use a silk pillowcase to keep your hair from flattening. Another option to consider is to tie your hair into a loose, low ponytail or to wear a silk head wrap or bonnet.
Refresh with dry shampoo. Your blowout can begin to lose its lustre as the days pass. A dry shampoo will absorb excess oil, give your hair some texture, and add volume. This will extend the life of your blowout.
Avoid water. You don’t want your hair to lose its styled shape, and so it’s important that you avoid washing your hair for the first few days after your appointment so that you don’t undo the hairstyle!
