Blow dry

1. Prep and prime

"It starts in the shower with a 3-step clean" says Chegenie. Start with an exfoliating shampoo, followed by a hydrating shampoo and then a quick condition (on the ends only). Look for products that are paraban and sulphate free.Invati Exfoliating Shampoo , $30, Aveda.Dry Remedy Moisturizing Shampoo, $32, AvedaDry Remedy Moisturizing Conditioner, $32, Aveda.

2. Keep hands off

The number one rule to sustain you salon worthy hair is: Don't touch it. Heat and oil from your hands will lead to greasy roots and flat hair. If you must fuss with it, use a wide tooth comb. Sephora Collection Tidy Detangling Comb, $10, Sephora.

3. Do a daily fresh fix

Use a dry shampoo or texturizing spray daily at the roots to lift the hair and absorb any oil.
