5 Easy Hairstyles to Try Between Salon Visits

Getting the most out of your blowout means not starting from scratch every day. With the right products and a few easy techniques, you can create five completely different looks across the week — washing less, spending less time styling, and keeping your hair healthier in the process. Here’s a guide from the team at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ.

Day 1: Fresh Blowout with Loose Waves

On freshly washed and blown-out hair, let the blowout do the work. If you want extra polish, use a curling wand to add a few loose waves through the mid-lengths and ends. A light-hold flexible spray keeps the style looking natural rather than stiff. This is your most versatile look — wear it down and let the volume and shine from the blowout speak for itself.

Day 2: Textured Low Messy Bun

Second-day hair has natural texture and grip that makes updos easier to hold. Apply a dry texture spray at the roots to refresh and absorb any oil, then use a wand to wave the top sections of the hair. Pull everything back into a low, loosely twisted bun and secure with bobby pins. Leave a few face-framing pieces out for a relaxed, intentional feel. This look takes under five minutes and holds all day.

Day 3: Half-Up Textured Style

Take the top section of the hair and pull it into a loose half-up style — either a small bun, a twist, or a simple ponytail. Apply a small amount of texture crème to the mid-lengths and ends to add definition and prevent the style from looking flat. A styling spray over the surface pulls everything together.

Day 4: Braided Side Style

On day four, lean into the texture. Apply a texture spray throughout and create a loose side braid, fishtail, or twist. Pull the braid apart gently after finishing to add volume and a softer, more relaxed shape. This look works especially well when the hair has some natural wave or movement from previous days of styling.

Day 5: Slick High Ponytail

By day five, a clean, slick high ponytail is the perfect finish-line look. Apply a smoothing serum or light oil to control surface texture, brush all the hair up into a high ponytail, and secure tightly. Wrap a piece of hair around the elastic and pin underneath. Smooth any remaining flyaways with a light-hold spray and a brush, and you have a polished look that looks intentional regardless of where your hair is in the wash cycle.

The Products That Make It Work

A professional dry shampoo, a texture spray, a smoothing crème, and a flexible-hold finishing spray are the four products that make this kind of week-long styling possible. Ask your stylist at your next appointment which formulas are the best fit for your hair type and the styles you reach for most often.
