Yes, winter is coming: but, a major upside of the arrival of cold weather? Much better hair days. Between lower humidity and cool, crisp breezes, fall is the perfect time to bust out that blowdryer and try out that sleek, shiny style that you had on pause all summer while your locks were tied up in a topknot. But, despite the fact that the weather is on our side, it’s always a good idea to properly prep your strands to ensure that your carefully styled look will be able to go the distance. So, to get the most bang for your blowout buck, I’ve rounded up eight new smoothing products that will help you maintain your hard work for days (bring on the dry shampoo!). Click through to scope out my picks, and let me know: what are your tricks for making your blowout last?
